This repository contains the code, report, slides and demo video of Team Digital Twins' submission to the 2022 AI/ML in 5G Challenge. We present a Proof of Concept (PoC) of the decentralized controller evolution architecture for Autonomous Networks (AN) using a distributed Marketplace.
With this project, we aim to solve the problem of ensuring security, traceability and trust in the evolution of controllers in AN. To this end, we have developed a fully decentralized Marketplace that registers, stores and protects evolution artifacts in a way that is fully auditable, and secure. This has been achieved through the use of IPFS and a private Ethereum blockchain. For more details, check out our report here.
You can find a video demo of this project here.
- Docker Engine and Docker Compose:
https://www.docker.com/get-started/
To start the network run the following command in your terminal from the working directory:
docker compose up -dNote The -d parameter in the previous command runs each container in the background. To display the logs of the entire network you can run:
docker compose logs -for for a specific container:
docker compose logs -f <my-container>
To stop the network and remove the containers run:
docker compose downNote Once deployed, you can gain access the uploaded artifacts on your browser by accessing the IPFS HTTP API of each node.
For instance, you could connect to the HTTP API for the Evolution Controller node in your browser with the url http://0.0.0.0:8080/ipfs/ + < your-file-cid > The different port mappings for each node are listed below:
- Evol_Ctr: 8080
- Exp_Mg: 8091
- DT: 8092
- Cur_Ctr: 8093
The following is a list of useful commands to run for troubleshooting or solving issues while building the project:
- Clear docker's build cache:
docker builder prune -a- Remove the images of each container in the network:
bash ./clean.sh- List all containers (running or not):
docker ps -a- Remove all stopped containers:
docker container prune
