[0052] The method embodiment provided in this embodiment can be executed in a terminal, a computer or a similar computing device. For example, running on a terminal, Figure 1 This is a hardware structure diagram of a terminal of a blockchain network deployment method according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the terminal may include one or more ( Figure 1 Only one is shown in the figure) processor 101 and memory 102 for storing data, wherein processor 101 may include but is not limited to a processing device such as a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA. The above terminal may also include a transmission device 103 and an input and output device 104 for communication functions. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that Figure 1 The structure shown is only for illustration and does not limit the structure of the above terminal. Figure 1 More or fewer components as shown, or with Figure 1 Different configurations shown.

[0053] The memory 102 can be used to store computer programs, for example, software programs and modules of application software, such as the computer program corresponding to the blockchain network deployment method in this embodiment. The processor 101 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory 102, that is, to implement the above method.

[0054] The transmission device 103 is used to receive or send data via a network. The above network includes a wireless network provided by a communication provider of the terminal. In one example, the transmission device 103 includes a network adapter (Network Interface Controller, referred to as NIC), which can be connected to other network devices through a base station so as to communicate with the Internet. In one example, the transmission device 103 can be a radio frequency (Radio Frequency, referred to as RF) module, which is used to communicate with the Internet wirelessly.

[0055] Some traditional blockchain network deployment methods are complex to operate, and some cannot support custom blockchain network topology. Specifically, the platform provides a form for users to fill in node configuration information, but does not support users to select the type of blockchain to be deployed by uploading blockchain binary files (referred to as binary files), and cannot support developers' needs to verify blockchain technology solutions. Moreover, configuring nodes in the form of a form and displaying node information in the form of a list cannot reflect the blockchain network topology, especially cannot flexibly support the blockchain network topology in the business scenarios expected by users.

[0056] Based on the analysis of the above situation, in one embodiment, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a graphical user interface is provided, which can be displayed on a terminal, a computer or a similar computing device for deploying a blockchain network. Figure 2 As shown, the graphical user interface includes: a toolbar area, a configuration area, a preview area, a file generation unit, and a deployment unit. Figure 2 What is shown is only an example. The various parts in the graphical user interface may have other combinations and may also include other functional areas, units, controls, etc. in addition to the parts shown in the figure.

[0057] Among them, the toolbar area includes a component library, which includes multiple components for representing blockchain elements; the configuration area is used to display the target component selected by the user in the toolbar area, and to build the connection relationship between each target component; the preview area is used to display the blockchain network topology corresponding to the connection relationship between each target component; the file generation unit is used to generate an environment configuration file based on the blockchain network topology; the deployment unit is used to update the initial network environment configuration data in the binary file based on the environment configuration file, and deploy the blockchain network based on the updated binary file. Among them, the file generation unit can be set to a "Confirm Configuration" button. After the user completes the network configuration, the user can view the final blockchain network topology and configuration details. After confirming that there is no error, click the "Confirm Configuration" button, and the terminal will generate the environment configuration file required for deployment according to the blockchain network topology. The deployment unit can be set to a "One-click Deployment" button. When the user clicks the "One-click Deployment" button, the terminal will read the environment configuration file to update the binary file, and automatically execute the deployment of the blockchain network according to the updated binary file.

[0058] Accordingly, Figure 3 A flowchart of a blockchain network deployment method based on the graphical user interface is provided. Figure 1 The terminal is taken as an example to illustrate, including the following steps:

[0059] Step S101, in response to a first operation of a user on a target component in a toolbar area, displaying the target component in a configuration area; wherein the target component is used to represent a blockchain element.

[0060] The first operation includes dragging and / or clicking. When the user drags the target component in the toolbar area and does not release it, the graphical user interface can display the animation effect of the target component moving with the drag operation. When the user clicks the mouse to release the drag operation, the target component stops moving and settles at a certain position in the configuration area. When the user clicks the target component in the toolbar area, the graphical user interface will display the animation effect of the target component hovering over the mouse mark and moving with the movement of the mouse. When the mouse is clicked at a certain position in the configuration area, the target component stops moving and settles at the corresponding position in the configuration area. Through this step, the drag and drop function of the target component is realized, and the user can freely arrange the target component in the configuration area. Among them, blockchain elements include but are not limited to blockchain nodes, chains, and smart contracts. Through the first operation, the user can select the desired blockchain nodes, chains and smart contracts.

[0061] In some embodiments, after the target component is displayed in the configuration area, a property panel may be displayed in response to a third operation of the user on the target component in the configuration area; based on the user's editing operation in the property panel, the properties of the target component are updated. Specifically, the user can click on the target component with the mouse, and a property panel will pop up in the configuration area. The property panel displays all configurable properties of the current target component, and the user can directly modify the properties in the property panel, thus realizing the modification of the properties of the blockchain element. Among them, the properties of the target component include but are not limited to the node type (full node, light node) and the consensus mechanism.

[0062] Step S102, in response to the user's second operation on the target component in the configuration area, a connection relationship between the target components is established, and the corresponding blockchain network topology is displayed in the preview area.

[0063] The second operation includes dragging and / or clicking, and the connection relationship between each target component can be represented based on geometric figures, such as lines and / or arrows. Specifically, the user can connect different target components by clicking and dragging the mouse to establish the relationship between blockchain nodes, and indicate the connection status through visual feedback (such as lines, arrows and other geometric figures). Moreover, the user's operations on the target component (such as dragging, connecting, modifying properties) will be immediately reflected in the preview area. This setting makes it convenient for users to view the blockchain network topology intuitively and in real time.

[0064] Step S103, generating an environment configuration file according to the blockchain network topology structure.

[0065] The environment configuration file is used to describe the expected blockchain network configuration. Specifically, after the user completes the network configuration, the user can view the final blockchain network topology and configuration details. After confirming that they are correct, click the "Confirm Configuration" button, and the system will generate the environment configuration file required for deployment based on these configurations.

[0066] Step S104, updating the initial network environment configuration data in the binary file based on the environment configuration file, and deploying the blockchain network based on the updated binary file.

[0067] Binary files are pre-compiled executable program files that contain instructions and data for starting blockchain nodes, blockchain operations (such as transaction creation, broadcasting, verification, and packaging), and blockchain networks. They are used to run blockchain nodes in computer systems and participate in related operations of blockchain networks. Binary files include but are not limited to blockchain platform files such as Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, and Corda (an open source blockchain platform developed by the R3 Alliance).

[0068] Considering that binary files have undergone rigorous security review and testing, it can be ensured that they will not be attacked or tampered with by malware. Moreover, in some open source blockchain projects, based on the open source characteristics of binary files, users can view and modify the source code to meet the specific needs of actual network deployment. Therefore, this step uses binary files, which are more secure, more portable, and more convenient for open source than traditional forms.

[0069] The blockchain network configuration is part of the binary file function, which corresponds to the initial network configuration data in the binary file. Since the initial network configuration data are all default settings, they cannot be used directly. Therefore, this embodiment generates an environment configuration file based on the above steps S101 to S102 to describe the expected blockchain network configuration, and replaces the initial network environment configuration data in the binary file with the environment configuration file to ensure that the deployed blockchain network is consistent with expectations. According to the updated binary file, resource allocation, network connection and service startup are automatically processed to realize the deployment of the blockchain network. Specifically, when the user clicks the "One-click Deployment" button, the terminal will read the environment configuration file to update the binary file, and automatically execute the deployment of the blockchain network according to the updated binary file.

[0070] In the above steps S101 to S104, a graphical user interface is provided to support users to build and view the blockchain network topology in real time in a graphical operation mode, thereby enhancing the flexibility of deployment; an environment configuration file is generated based on the customized blockchain network topology; the binary file is updated based on the environment configuration file to ensure that the deployed blockchain network meets expectations, and finally the blockchain network is deployed with one click based on the updated binary file. This setting makes the blockchain network deployment operation simple and supports customized blockchain network topology.

[0071] In one embodiment, before generating an environment configuration file based on the blockchain network topology structure, the method also includes: performing a first legitimacy check on the blockchain network topology structure; wherein the object of the first legitimacy check includes the connection relationship between each target component and / or the attributes of each target component; if the first legitimacy check succeeds, generating an environment configuration file based on the blockchain network topology structure; or, if the first legitimacy check fails, displaying an error prompt and / or performing repair.

[0072] In this embodiment, the terminal passes the first legitimacy check to check whether the user configuration is correct. When there is a problem with the user configuration, the terminal will display an error prompt and / or perform a repair. The legitimacy check of the connection relationship between the target components specifically refers to a logical check of the connection relationship between the nodes, such as checking whether a full node can be connected to multiple light nodes, but light nodes cannot be connected to each other. The legitimacy check of the attributes of each target component can be a check of the consensus mechanism, network type; it can also be a conflict check, such as checking whether the same smart contract is configured with different parameters on different nodes.

[0073] Specifically, when an error is detected, the terminal will give a corresponding prompt message, such as "The connection between node A and node B is not allowed. Please check the node type or adjust the connection settings." For common errors, the terminal will provide one-click repair options, such as "Automatically remove illegal connections" or "Restore to the last valid configuration." After the user completes the network configuration, the user can view the final network structure and configuration details. After confirming that there are no errors, click "Confirm Configuration" (that is, the file generation unit), and the terminal will generate the environment configuration file required for deployment based on the current configuration. This setting plays the role of automatically checking the legitimacy of user input operations, thereby reducing manual configuration errors.

[0074] In one embodiment, the graphical user interface also includes a template library, which contains preset configuration templates for the blockchain network; generating an environment configuration file according to the topological structure of the blockchain network, including: determining a target preset configuration template in response to a user's selection operation in the template library; adjusting the target preset configuration template according to the topological structure of the blockchain network to generate an environment configuration file.

[0075] Figure 4 A graphical network configuration flow chart of this embodiment is provided, such as Figure 4 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0076] Step S201, drag and connect target components to build a blockchain network topology structure;

[0077] Step S202, perform node connection legitimacy check; if the check is successful, execute step S203; otherwise, execute step S204;

[0078] Step S203, editing the property panel of the target component;

[0079] Step S204, return to prompt information; and go to step S201;

[0080] Step S205, perform attribute legitimacy check; if the check succeeds, execute step S206; otherwise, execute step S207;

[0081] Step S206, confirm the configuration;

[0082] Step S207, return prompt information; go to step S203;

[0083] Step S208, generate an environment configuration file; exit the process;

[0084] Step S209, determine whether to save as a configuration template; if so, execute step S210; otherwise, exit the process;

[0085] Step S210, saving the custom configuration template in the template library.

[0086] In the above steps S201 to S210, the terminal provides a preset configuration template for automatically connecting the target component, and supports adjusting the preset configuration template based on user input operations, thereby generating an environment configuration file to meet actual needs. The terminal can pre-store different types of preset configuration templates covering various blockchain platforms. The preset configuration template is scalable and supports users to customize extension components and configuration options to meet specific business needs. In actual applications, the preset configuration template can be set up in multiple versions according to different industries, such as supply chain configuration templates, voting configuration templates, identity authentication configuration templates, etc. Users can use the desired preset configuration template in a one-click selection method to achieve rapid deployment. Specifically, when the user selects the preset configuration template, the terminal will load the preset configuration template. At this time, each target component and its connection relationship will be automatically generated, and the blockchain network topology will be presented in the preview area. The user can directly use the blockchain network topology or adjust it on its basis.

[0087] Furthermore, the terminal also supports user-defined configuration templates. After completing the network configuration, the user can choose to save it as a custom configuration template. The terminal will ask the user to enter the template name through a pop-up window and store the configuration data in the database for subsequent use. This setting implements a user-friendly graphical user interface that allows users to easily create, edit and manage blockchain network topology.

[0088] In one embodiment, adjusting the target preset configuration template according to the blockchain network topology structure and generating an environment configuration file can be achieved by the following method:

[0089] Map the user input operation corresponding to the blockchain network topology structure to the target preset configuration template; embed the configuration information of the corresponding blockchain network topology structure into the target preset configuration template to generate an environment configuration file.

[0090] After generating the blockchain network topology, the terminal will collect the target components, attributes and network topology information selected by the user from the blockchain network topology, and generate an environment configuration file in combination with the target preset configuration template. Specifically, the template engine is used to map the user input operation to the preset configuration template, and the configuration information specifically set by the user is embedded into the preset configuration template through placeholder replacement to generate an environment configuration file. After the environment configuration file is generated, the basic environment configuration is determined according to the network type and node type selected by the user, and the node definition is generated according to the number of nodes, node roles, network addresses and other information, and the corresponding services are defined for each node, and the network settings are configured. For example, if a smart contract is selected, the contract deployment configuration will be automatically generated. Through these operations, the deployment configuration file (such as DockerCompose) of the corresponding environment is automatically generated. This mechanism ensures the automation of the deployment process and improves the accuracy and efficiency of the configuration.

[0091] In one embodiment, the file type of the binary file is a Docker image file or an executable file. Deploying a blockchain network based on the updated binary file can be achieved by the following method:

[0092] Based on the updated binary file, deploy the contract on the target node and record the contract address and status; start the service and process, and perform a health check on the deployed blockchain network.

[0093] In this embodiment, the user can click the "one-click deployment" button to trigger the deployment process. The terminal will record the user's deployment request and generate a unique task ID. According to the environment configuration file generated in the previous steps, the required computing resources are automatically allocated. If deployed in the cloud, the terminal will interact with the API of the cloud service provider to obtain the required resources. Taking Docker Compose as an example, the terminal will use container technology to start the containers of each node according to the generated configuration file, configure the network connection between the containers, and ensure that the nodes can communicate with each other. If the user chooses to deploy a smart contract, the terminal will automatically deploy the contract on the specified node according to the configuration file and record the contract address and status. Start all necessary services and processes to ensure the normal operation of each component of the blockchain network, and perform a health check on the blockchain network (for example, call the relevant interface through the RPC service to obtain the connection status of the node). After the deployment is completed, the system returns the node information, network status and access link of the blockchain network.

[0094] The services and processes started can be one or more of the following:

[0095] Node service: used to store complete blockchain ledgers, verify transactions and blocks, and propagate new transaction and block information;

[0096] Network services: including P2P, which is used to achieve direct communication between nodes, propagate transactions and block information, and RPC services provide an interface for external applications to interact with blockchain nodes;

[0097] Consensus service: start the corresponding consensus service process according to the selected consensus algorithm;

[0098] Encryption service: used to encrypt and decrypt transactions and blocks to ensure data security and privacy;

[0099] Database: used to store blockchain data, capable of efficiently storing and retrieving large amounts of transaction and block data.

[0100] In one embodiment, before responding to a first operation of a user on a target component in the toolbar area, the method further includes:

[0101] Perform a second validity check on the binary file; if the second validity check succeeds, provide a graphical user interface; if the second validity check fails, return an error report and / or prompt the user to re-upload the binary file.

[0102] In this embodiment, the required blockchain binary file (such as a Docker image or executable file) can be uploaded through a graphical user interface. The interface supports multiple file formats to ensure flexibility and compatibility. Further, the file type can be determined based on the extension of the binary file; wherein the file type of the binary file can be a Docker image file or an executable file; according to the file type of the binary file, the file content of the binary file is extracted, and integrity verification and file structure verification are performed based on the file content. For ease of understanding, Figure 5 A flowchart of the binary file legality check of this embodiment is provided, such as Figure 5 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0103] Step S301, check the file extension. The terminal will first identify the format of the uploaded binary file and determine the file type by checking the extension. If it is a Docker image, the Docker API will be used to check whether it is a valid image file.

[0104] Step S302, extract the file content. Determine the file format, if it is a compressed file, execute step S303; if it is an executable file, execute step S304.

[0105] Step S303, automatically decompress and extract content.

[0106] Step S304: parse the file header information to obtain relevant metadata (such as version number, dependent libraries, etc.).

[0107] Step S305, integrity check; if the integrity check is successful, execute step S306; otherwise, execute step S308. When performing the integrity check, a hash algorithm (such as SHA-256) can be used to calculate the extracted file content, and the hash value of the binary file can be calculated and compared with the pre-stored hash value to verify whether the file has been tampered with during the transmission process. For Docker images, the integrity check will be performed using the Digest value of the image. Exemplarily, when pulling an image from a Docker repository, the Docker client will send a request to the repository to obtain the metadata of the image, including the Digest value of the image. Docker will store the obtained image Digest value in the local image repository and associate it with the corresponding image tag. In this way, when the image is subsequently operated, its Digest value can be easily obtained for verification.

[0108] Step S306, file structure verification; if the file structure verification succeeds, execute step S307; otherwise, execute step S308. File structure verification can be based on the extracted file content, verifying the file format to verify whether the file structure meets expectations. For example, for Docker images, check the integrity of the configuration files and layers of the Docker image, and for blockchain-related executable files, check whether there are necessary dependencies and operating environments.

[0109] Step S307, return the verification success information and exit the process.

[0110] Step S308: Return an error report and prompt the user to re-upload the correct binary file.

[0111] This embodiment reduces manual intervention by automatically verifying the validity of binary files, and intervenes in the validity verification of binary files before graphical operations, thereby improving the reliability of deployment.

[0112] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowcharts involved in the above-mentioned embodiments are displayed in sequence according to the indication of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in sequence according to the order indicated by the arrows. Unless there is a clear explanation in this article, the execution of these steps does not have a strict order restriction, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least a part of the steps in the flowcharts involved in the above-mentioned embodiments can include multiple steps or multiple stages, and these steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and the execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily to be carried out in sequence, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least a part of the steps or stages in other steps.

[0113] In one embodiment, Figure 6 A flowchart of another blockchain network deployment method is provided, such as Figure 6 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0114] Step S401: Upload a binary file based on a graphical user interface.

[0115] Step S402: parse and verify the binary file. Figure 4 The process shown.

[0116] Step S403: Execute graphical network configuration. Figure 3 The process shown.

[0117] Step S404: Automatically generate deployment configuration. For details, please refer to Figure 2 or Figure 3 The process shown.

[0118] Step S405: one-click deployment.

[0119] The following will introduce the above-mentioned blockchain network deployment method through specific examples.

[0120] Example 1 provides a process for deploying an Ethereum blockchain network based on the above process. The specific steps are as follows:

[0121] Step 1: Upload binary files based on the graphical user interface. Users upload a Docker image file of an Ethereum node (such as ethereum / client-go) or a packaged executable file through the graphical user interface.

[0122] Step 2: Parse and verify the binary file. The terminal checks the format and integrity of the uploaded Docker image or executable file. After verification, the terminal confirms that the binary file is a valid Ethereum node image.

[0123] Step 3: Perform graphical network configuration. Network topology selection: The user selects "Private Network" as the network type on the graphical user interface.

[0124] Node quantity setting: The user chooses to create 4 full nodes (node1, node2, node3, node4).

[0125] Consensus mechanism: users choose Proof of Stake;

[0126] Smart Contract: User chooses not to deploy any smart contract;

[0127] Template selection: The user selects the "Simple Ethereum Network" template from the template library and quickly loads the default configuration.

[0128] Step 4: Automatically generate deployment configuration. The terminal generates the corresponding Docker Compose configuration file based on the user's selection.

[0129] Step 5, one-click deployment. The user clicks the "one-click deployment" button and the terminal starts the startup process. The terminal calls the Docker command to start creating and starting containers for 4 Ethereum nodes. The terminal configures the network for each node to ensure that they can communicate with each other. Set port mapping and firewall rules to ensure that external requests can access the node. After the deployment is complete, the terminal performs a health check to ensure that the status of each node is normal (such as response time, CPU usage, etc.). If any node fails to start normally, the terminal will automatically restart the corresponding container and record an error log.

[0130] In the above example 1, the preset configuration template is used in step 3. The following example 2 is provided. Example 2 does not select the preset configuration template, but customizes the blockchain network. Example 2 provides a process for customizing the graphical configuration of the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain network based on the above process. The specific steps are as follows:

[0131] Step 1: Enter the configuration interface. The user opens the graphical configuration interface, and the terminal displays the available component library and predefined templates.

[0132] Step 2: Select components. Users drag the following elements from the component library to the configuration area:

[0133] 3 peer nodes (peer0, peer1, peer2);

[0134] 1 Orderer node (orderer);

[0135] 1 CA node (Certificate Authority).

[0136] Step 3: Configure node properties. Peer node configuration: Users click on each Peer node to enter the property editing panel and set the following properties:

[0137] Node names: peer0, peer1, peer2;

[0138] Node role: peer;

[0139] Chaincode path: / path / to / chaincode;

[0140] Port settings: 7051 (peer0), 7052 (peer1), 7053 (peer2).

[0141] Orderer node configuration. The user clicks on the Orderer node and sets the properties:

[0142] Node name: orderer;

[0143] Node role: orderer;

[0144] Port setting: 7050;

[0145] Consensus mechanism: PBFT.

[0146] CA node configuration. The user clicks on the CA node and sets the properties:

[0147] Node name: ca.example.com;

[0148] Node role: CA;

[0149] Port setting: 7054.

[0150] Step 4, configure the network relationship. The user clicks and drags the mouse to connect the Peer node and the Orderer node to indicate the communication relationship between them. The user also draws a line for the connection between the CA node and the Peer node to indicate the authentication process.

[0151] Step 5: Save the custom template. After completing the configuration, click "Save Template". A pop-up window will appear on the terminal asking the user to enter a template name. Enter "Hyperledger Fabric Network" and click OK. The terminal will save the configuration to the template library for future use.

[0152] Step 6: Generate deployment configuration. The user clicks the "One-click deployment" button, and the terminal automatically generates a Docker Compose file based on the user's graphical configuration.

[0153] Figure 5The blockchain network deployment method shown and the above two examples support users to quickly deploy different versions or types of blockchain networks in the cloud or locally by uploading binary files and simple graphical operations. Binary files include but are not limited to Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, Corda, etc. Graphical operations mean that users can flexibly build the target blockchain network in the graphical user interface by dragging components (such as nodes) and see the blockchain network topology in real time. The complexity is simplified through an intuitive graphical user interface, manual configuration errors are reduced by automatically verifying and generating configurations, and the flexibility of deployment is enhanced by customizing network topology, node configuration and consensus mechanism. Through one-click deployment, the terminal can automatically handle resource allocation, network connection and service startup. Therefore, the blockchain network deployment method is efficient and simple, and effectively solves the defects in the existing blockchain network deployment by simplifying complexity, reducing configuration errors, providing flexibility and rapid deployment. This model is suitable for developers, enterprises, educational institutions and other fields, especially in fast iteration and experimental projects, which can provide great convenience.
