Getting Started with Helm Charts (ScalarDL Ledger and Auditor / Auditor mode)

This document explains how to get started with ScalarDL Ledger and Auditor using Helm Chart on a Kubernetes cluster as a test environment. Here, we assume that you already have a Mac or Linux environment for testing. We use Minikube in this document, but the steps we will show should work in any Kubernetes cluster.

Requirement​

You need to subscribe to ScalarDL Ledger and ScalarDL Auditor in the AWS Marketplace or Azure Marketplace to get the following container images.

  • AWS Marketplace
    • scalar-ledger
    • scalar-ledger-envoy
    • scalardl-schema-loader-ledger
    • scalar-auditor
    • scalar-auditor-envoy
    • scalardl-schema-loader-auditor
  • Azure Marketplace
    • scalar-ledger
    • scalar-auditor
    • scalardl-envoy
    • scalardl-schema-loader

Please refer to the following documents for more details.

Note​

To make Byzantine fault detection with auditing work properly, Ledger and Auditor should be deployed and managed in different administrative domains. However, in this guide, we will deploy Ledger and Auditor in the same Kubernetes cluster to make the test easier.

What we create​

We will deploy the following components on a Kubernetes cluster as follows.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Step 1. Start a Kubernetes cluster​

First, you need to prepare a Kubernetes cluster. If you use a minikube environment, please refer to the Getting Started with Scalar Helm Charts. If you have already started a Kubernetes cluster, you can skip this step.

Step 2. Start PostgreSQL containers​

ScalarDL Ledger and Auditor use some kind of database system as a backend database. In this document, we use PostgreSQL.

You can deploy PostgreSQL on the Kubernetes cluster as follows.

  1. Add the Bitnami helm repository.

    helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
  2. Deploy PostgreSQL for Ledger.

    helm install postgresql-ledger bitnami/postgresql \
    --set auth.postgresPassword=postgres \
    --set primary.persistence.enabled=false
  3. Deploy PostgreSQL for Auditor.

    helm install postgresql-auditor bitnami/postgresql \
    --set auth.postgresPassword=postgres \
    --set primary.persistence.enabled=false
  4. Check if the PostgreSQL containers are running.

    kubectl get pod

    [Command execution result]

    NAME                   READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
    postgresql-auditor-0 1/1 Running 0 11s
    postgresql-ledger-0 1/1 Running 0 16s

Step 3. Create a working directory​

We will create some configuration files and key/certificate files locally. So, create a working directory for them.

  1. Create a working directory.
    mkdir -p ~/scalardl-test/certs/

Step 4. Create key/certificate files​

Note: In this guide, we will use self-sign certificates for the test. However, it is strongly recommended that these certificates NOT be used in production.

  1. Change the working directory to ~/scalardl-test/certs/ directory.

    cd ~/scalardl-test/certs/
  2. Create a JSON file that includes Ledger information.

    cat << 'EOF' > ~/scalardl-test/certs/ledger.json
    {
    "CN": "ledger",
    "hosts": ["example.com","*.example.com"],
    "key": {
    "algo": "ecdsa",
    "size": 256
    },
    "names": [
    {
    "O": "ledger",
    "OU": "test team",
    "L": "Shinjuku",
    "ST": "Tokyo",
    "C": "JP"
    }
    ]
    }
    EOF
  3. Create a JSON file that includes Auditor information.

    cat << 'EOF' > ~/scalardl-test/certs/auditor.json
    {
    "CN": "auditor",
    "hosts": ["example.com","*.example.com"],
    "key": {
    "algo": "ecdsa",
    "size": 256
    },
    "names": [
    {
    "O": "auditor",
    "OU": "test team",
    "L": "Shinjuku",
    "ST": "Tokyo",
    "C": "JP"
    }
    ]
    }
    EOF
  4. Create a JSON file that includes Client information.

    cat << 'EOF' > ~/scalardl-test/certs/client.json
    {
    "CN": "client",
    "hosts": ["example.com","*.example.com"],
    "key": {
    "algo": "ecdsa",
    "size": 256
    },
    "names": [
    {
    "O": "client",
    "OU": "test team",
    "L": "Shinjuku",
    "ST": "Tokyo",
    "C": "JP"
    }
    ]
    }
    EOF
  5. Create key/certificate files for the Ledger.

    cfssl selfsign "" ./ledger.json | cfssljson -bare ledger
  6. Create key/certificate files for the Auditor.

    cfssl selfsign "" ./auditor.json | cfssljson -bare auditor
  7. Create key/certificate files for the Client.

    cfssl selfsign "" ./client.json | cfssljson -bare client
  8. Confirm key/certificate files are created.

    ls -1

    [Command execution result]

    auditor-key.pem
    auditor.csr
    auditor.json
    auditor.pem
    client-key.pem
    client.csr
    client.json
    client.pem
    ledger-key.pem
    ledger.csr
    ledger.json
    ledger.pem

Step 5. Create DB schemas for ScalarDL Ledger and ScalarDL Auditor using Helm Charts​

We will deploy two ScalarDL Schema Loader pods on the Kubernetes cluster using Helm Charts.
The ScalarDL Schema Loader will create the DB schemas for ScalarDL Ledger and Auditor in PostgreSQL.

  1. Change the working directory to ~/scalardl-test/.

    cd ~/scalardl-test/
  2. Add the Scalar helm repository.

    helm repo add scalar-labs https://scalar-labs.github.io/helm-charts
  3. Create a secret resource to pull the ScalarDL container images from AWS/Azure Marketplace.

    • AWS Marketplace
      kubectl create secret docker-registry reg-ecr-mp-secrets \
      --docker-server=709825985650.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com \
      --docker-username=AWS \
      --docker-password=$(aws ecr get-login-password --region us-east-1)
    • Azure Marketplace
      kubectl create secret docker-registry reg-acr-secrets \
      --docker-server=<your private container registry login server> \
      --docker-username=<Service principal ID> \
      --docker-password=<Service principal password>

    Please refer to the following documents for more details.

  4. Create a custom values file for ScalarDL Schema Loader for Ledger (schema-loader-ledger-custom-values.yaml).

    scalardl-ledger-metrics ClusterIP 10.99.122.106 <none> 8080/TCP 61s

    If the ScalarDL Ledger and Auditor services are deployed properly, you can see private IP addresses in the CLUSTER-IP column. (Note: scalardl-ledger-headless and scalardl-auditor-headless have no CLUSTER-IP.)

Step 7. Start a Client container​

We will use certificate files in a Client container. So, we create a secret resource and mount it to a Client container.

  1. Create secret resource client-keys.

    kubectl create secret generic client-keys --from-file=certificate=./certs/client.pem --from-file=private-key=./certs/client-key.pem
  2. Start a Client container on the Kubernetes cluster.

    cat << 'EOF' | kubectl apply -f -
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Pod
    metadata:
    name: "scalardl-client"
    spec:
    containers:
    - name: scalardl-client
    image: eclipse-temurin:8-jdk
    command: ['sleep']
    args: ['inf']
    volumeMounts:
    - name: "ledger-keys"
    mountPath: "/keys/ledger"
    readOnly: true
    - name: "auditor-keys"
    mountPath: "/keys/auditor"
    readOnly: true
    - name: "client-keys"
    mountPath: "/keys/client"
    readOnly: true
    volumes:
    - name: "ledger-keys"
    secret:
    secretName: "ledger-keys"
    - name: "auditor-keys"
    secret:
    secretName: "auditor-keys"
    - name: "client-keys"
    secret:
    secretName: "client-keys"
    restartPolicy: Never
    EOF
  3. Check if the Client container is running.

    kubectl get pod scalardl-client

    [Command execution result]

    NAME              READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
    scalardl-client 1/1 Running 0 4s

Step 8. Run ScalarDL sample contracts in the Client container​

The following explains the minimum steps. If you want to know more details about ScalarDL Ledger and Auditor, please refer to the following documents.

When you use Auditor, you need to register the certificate for the Ledger and Auditor before starting the client application. Ledger needs to register its certificate to Auditor, and Auditor needs to register its certificate to Ledger.

  1. Run bash in the Client container.

    kubectl exec -it scalardl-client -- bash

    After this step, run each command in the Client container.

  2. Install the git, curl and unzip commands in the Client container.

    apt update && apt install -y git curl unzip
  3. Clone ScalarDL Java Client SDK git repository.

    git clone https://github.com/scalar-labs/scalardl-java-client-sdk.git
  4. Change the directory to scalardl-java-client-sdk/.

    cd scalardl-java-client-sdk/
    pwd

    [Command execution result]


    /scalardl-java-client-sdk
  5. Change branch to arbitrary version.

    git checkout -b v3.6.0 refs/tags/v3.6.0
    git branch

    [Command execution result]

      master
    * v3.6.0

    If you want to use another version, please specify the version (tag) you want to use. You need to use the same version of ScalarDL Ledger and ScalarDL Java Client SDK.

  6. Build the sample contracts.

    ./gradlew assemble
  7. Download CLI tools of ScalarDL from ScalarDL Java Client SDK Releases.

    curl -OL https://github.com/scalar-labs/scalardl-java-client-sdk/releases/download/v3.6.0/scalardl-java-client-sdk-3.6.0.zip

    You need to use the same version of CLI tools and ScalarDL Ledger.

  8. Unzip the scalardl-java-client-sdk-3.6.0.zip file.

    unzip ./scalardl-java-client-sdk-3.6.0.zip
  9. Create a configuration file (ledger.as.client.properties) to register the certificate of Ledger to Auditor.

    cat << 'EOF' > ledger.as.client.properties
    # Ledger
    scalar.dl.client.server.host=scalardl-ledger-envoy.default.svc.cluster.local

    # Auditor
    scalar.dl.client.auditor.enabled=true
    scalar.dl.client.auditor.host=scalardl-auditor-envoy.default.svc.cluster.local

    # Certificate
    scalar.dl.client.cert_holder_id=ledger
    scalar.dl.client.cert_path=/keys/ledger/certificate
    scalar.dl.client.private_key_path=/keys/ledger/private-key
    EOF
  10. Create a configuration file (auditor.as.client.properties) to register the certificate of Auditor to Ledger.

    cat << 'EOF' > auditor.as.client.properties
    # Ledger
    scalar.dl.client.server.host=scalardl-ledger-envoy.default.svc.cluster.local

    # Auditor
    scalar.dl.client.auditor.enabled=true
    scalar.dl.client.auditor.host=scalardl-auditor-envoy.default.svc.cluster.local

    # Certificate
    scalar.dl.client.cert_holder_id=auditor
    scalar.dl.client.cert_path=/keys/auditor/certificate
    scalar.dl.client.private_key_path=/keys/auditor/private-key
    EOF
  11. Create a configuration file (client.properties) to access ScalarDL Ledger on the Kubernetes cluster.

    cat << 'EOF' > client.properties
    # Ledger
    scalar.dl.client.server.host=scalardl-ledger-envoy.default.svc.cluster.local

    # Auditor
    scalar.dl.client.auditor.enabled=true
    scalar.dl.client.auditor.host=scalardl-auditor-envoy.default.svc.cluster.local

    # Certificate
    scalar.dl.client.cert_holder_id=client
    scalar.dl.client.cert_path=/keys/client/certificate
    scalar.dl.client.private_key_path=/keys/client/private-key
    EOF
  12. Register the certificate file of Ledger.

    ./scalardl-java-client-sdk-3.6.0/bin/register-cert --properties ./ledger.as.client.properties
  13. Register the certificate file of Auditor.

    ./scalardl-java-client-sdk-3.6.0/bin/register-cert --properties ./auditor.as.client.properties
  14. Register the certificate file of client.

    ./scalardl-java-client-sdk-3.6.0/bin/register-cert --properties ./client.properties
  15. Register the sample contract StateUpdater.

    ./scalardl-java-client-sdk-3.6.0/bin/register-contract --properties ./client.properties --contract-id StateUpdater --contract-binary-name com.org1.contract.StateUpdater --contract-class-file ./build/classes/java/main/com/org1/contract/StateUpdater.class
  16. Register the sample contract StateReader.

    ./scalardl-java-client-sdk-3.6.0/bin/register-contract --properties ./client.properties --contract-id StateReader --contract-binary-name com.org1.contract.StateReader --contract-class-file ./build/classes/java/main/com/org1/contract/StateReader.class
  17. Register the contract ValdateLedger to execute a validate request.

    ./scalardl-java-client-sdk-3.6.0/bin/register-contract --properties ./client.properties --contract-id validate-ledger --contract-binary-name com.scalar.dl.client.contract.ValidateLedger --contract-class-file ./build/classes/java/main/com/scalar/dl/client/contract/ValidateLedger.class
  18. Execute the contract StateUpdater.

    ./scalardl-java-client-sdk-3.6.0/bin/execute-contract --properties ./client.properties --contract-id StateUpdater --contract-argument '{"asset_id": "test_asset", "state": 3}'

    This sample contract updates the state (value) of the asset named test_asset to 3.

  19. Execute the contract StateReader.

    ./scalardl-java-client-sdk-3.6.0/bin/execute-contract --properties ./client.properties --contract-id StateReader --contract-argument '{"asset_id": "test_asset"}'

    [Command execution result]

    Contract result:
    {
    "id" : "test_asset",
    "age" : 0,
    "output" : {
    "state" : 3
    }
    }
    • Reference information
      • If the asset data is not tampered with, the contract execution request (execute-contract command) returns OK as a result.
      • If the asset data is tampered with (e.g. the state value in the DB is tampered with), the contract execution request (execute-contract command) returns a value other than OK (e.g. INCONSISTENT_STATES) as a result, like the following.
        [Command execution result (If the asset data is tampered with)]
        {
        "status_code" : "INCONSISTENT_STATES",
        "error_message" : "The results from Ledger and Auditor don't match"
        }
        • In this way, the ScalarDL can detect data tampering.
  20. Execute a validation request for the asset.

    ./scalardl-java-client-sdk-3.6.0/bin/validate-ledger --properties ./client.properties --asset-id "test_asset"

    [Command execution result]

    {
    "status_code" : "OK",
    "Ledger" : {
    "id" : "test_asset",
    "age" : 0,
    "nonce" : "3533427d-03cf-41d1-bf95-4d31eb0cb24d",
    "hash" : "FiquvtPMKLlxKf4VGoccSAGsi9ptn4ozYVVTwdSzEQ0=",
    "signature" : "MEYCIQDiiXqzw6K+Ml4uvn8rK43o5wHWESU3hoXnZPi6/OeKVwIhAM+tFBcapl6zg47Uq0Uc8nVNGWNHZLBDBGve3F0xkzTR"
    },
    "Auditor" : {
    "id" : "test_asset",
    "age" : 0,
    "nonce" : "3533427d-03cf-41d1-bf95-4d31eb0cb24d",
    "hash" : "FiquvtPMKLlxKf4VGoccSAGsi9ptn4ozYVVTwdSzEQ0=",
    "signature" : "MEUCIQDLsfUR2PmxSvfpL3YvHJUkz00RDpjCdctkroZKXE8d5QIgH73FQH2e11jfnynD00Pp9DrIG1vYizxDsvxUsMPo9IU="
    }
    }
    • Reference information
      • If the asset data is not tampered with, the validation request (validate-ledger command) returns OK as a result.
      • If the asset data is tampered with (e.g. the state value in the DB is tampered with), the validation request (validate-ledger command) returns a value other than OK (e.g. INVALID_OUTPUT) as a result, like the following.
        [Command execution result (If the asset data is tampered with)]
        {
        "status_code" : "INCONSISTENT_STATES",
        "error_message" : "The results from Ledger and Auditor don't match"
        }
        • In this way, the ScalarDL Ledger can detect data tampering.

Step 9. Delete all resources​

After completing the ScalarDL Ledger tests on the Kubernetes cluster, remove all resources.

  1. Uninstall ScalarDL Ledger, ScalarDL Schema Loader, and PostgreSQL.

    helm uninstall scalardl-ledger schema-loader-ledger postgresql-ledger scalardl-auditor schema-loader-auditor postgresql-auditor
  2. Remove the Client container.

    kubectl delete pod scalardl-client --force --grace-period 0
  3. Remove the working directory and sample files (configuration file, key, and certificate).

    cd ~
    rm -rf ~/scalardl-test/
