Getting started

The HLF Operator UI provides a graphical interface for a convenient blockchain-as-a-service user experience. Once the operator is set up it's very easy for teams to create, clone, watch, edit and delete their own Certificate Authorities, Peers and Orderer nodes.

Why another UI for Fabric

The HLF Operator UI consists of two components:

  • hlf-operator-ui
  • hlf-operator-api

HLF Operator UI

The goal of the HLF Operator UI is to provides a graphical interface for a convenient blockchain-as-a-service user experience by:

  • Creating peers
  • Creating CAs
  • Creating orderers
  • Renewing certificates

Apart from this, it will be an explorer for the network config provided to the HLF Operator API to see:

  • Channels
  • Channel details
    • Height
    • Organizations
    • Peers + height

HLF Operator API

It provides access to the data consumed by the HLF Operator UI:

  • Channels
  • Peers
  • Orderer Nodes
  • Certificate authorities
