local/fabric-x-bin.yaml¶

fabric-x-bin.yaml exercises binary deployment mode for Fabric-X and Fabric CA components on a single machine.

Use it when you want to test install, start, stop, and log handling for local binaries instead of containers.

Note

This inventory runs these components as binaries managed through tmux:

Fabric CA servers
Orderer components
Committer components
Load generator
cryptogen CLI
Fabric CA client CLI

PostgreSQL databases still run as containers.

Inventory Details¶

Fabric-X, Fabric CA, and the load generator use binary task paths and are managed through tmux. PostgreSQL databases still run through container task paths.

This inventory deploys these logical services on the local machine:

5 Fabric CA servers as binaries and 5 PostgreSQL databases for Fabric CA state as containers.
4 orderer groups. Each group has 1 router, 1 consenter, 1 assembler, and 1 batcher as binaries.
1 committer with validator, verifier, coordinator, sidecar, and query service as binaries.
1 PostgreSQL committer database as a container.
1 load generator as a binary.
Monitoring with node exporter, PostgreSQL exporter, Prometheus, and Grafana.

The variables orderer_use_bin, committer_use_bin, fabric_ca_server_use_bin, and loadgen_use_bin select binary task paths. cryptogen_use_bin and fabric_ca_client_use_bin exercise the local helper binaries too.

The security posture matches the default local inventory: Fabric CA, TLS, and mTLS are enabled where supported.
