Running FDO servers as containers for development and testing

Containerized FDO Servers and Clients

This repository allows to run FDO servers as containers and interact with them using clients that run as containers as well, for testing and development.

Important

• First, build the container images by running ./build-images.sh.
• You will need to run the device initialization client (./run-init-client.sh) at least once to create a device credentials file under device_credentials and an ownership voucher under ownership_vouchers.
• You will need to wait for the owner-onboarding server to send ownership vouchers to the rendezvous server before a successful "onboarding".
• Keep in mind that creating a user and many other service-info commands will fail because of the limitation of a container.
• Although the repo includes a script for generating keys and certificates, this is not required as pre-generated ones are already provided for testing and development.

Benefits

• Can run on a system that does not have FDO packages, without installing them.
• Lightweight.
• Quick turnaround when trying, for instance, various configurations.
• Any generated files (such as device credentials or OV) are available locally right away, without copying.
• Can simulate various parts of the protocol separately, e.g. device "onboarding" without waiting for OS installation or device initialization.
