Deploy Filechain

This topic outlines how to deploy a Filechain, which serves as a storage solution for managing and storing file chunks in the Chromia Filehub ecosystem.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have access to the following tools and resources:

• Chromia CLI
• Git
• Docker

Step 1: Create a Container

Start by creating a container for your Filechain instance.

Step 2: Prepare chromia.yml

Next, configure your chromia.yml file with the required settings, making sure to include the trusted_filehub_brid field with the blockchain RID from your Filehub deployment.

Step 3: Deploy the Filechain Blockchain

Follow the blockchain deployment guide to deploy the Filechain blockchain. This blockchain will be responsible for storing file chunks and validating transactions for files uploaded through Filehub.

For additional storage capacity, repeat these steps for each Filechain you plan to deploy.
