Distributed Cryptography

Run with Docker

This is the quickest way to try the wallet. You only need Docker.

Terminal window
git clone https://github.com/angelonardone/DistributedCryptography
cd DistributedCryptography
docker compose up -d

Then open http://localhost:5000 in your browser. It takes you to the wallets page.

The wallet answers only on this computer: wallets are created and used from the computer where the wallet runs.

The first run builds the application from the source code, so it takes a few minutes.

Where your wallets are kept

Section titled “Where your wallets are kept”

Everything the wallet keeps is stored in two Docker volumes: distcrypt-wallets (the wallets) and distcrypt-data (the rest, such as the folders used to exchange large files). They survive rebuilding and updating the container.

Use another port

Section titled “Use another port”

Create a file called .env next to docker-compose.yml with the port you want:

APP_PORT=8080

Inside the container the app always listens on port 5000.

Update

Section titled “Update”
Terminal window
git pull
docker compose up -d --build

The HSM service

Section titled “The HSM service”

The HSM REST service is published at http://localhost:5000/HSM/rest/..., on this computer only.
