Setup CCF Runtime Environment

Environment Setup

First, checkout the CCF repository or Install CCF.

Then, to quickly set up the dependencies necessary to start CCF applications, simply run:

$ cd <ccf_path>/getting_started/setup_vm
$ ./run.sh app-run.yml

Runtime Container

The mcr.microsoft.com/ccf/app/run container can be run to setup an environment containing the cchost binary and the associated dependencies.

The pre-built container can be obtained from the mcr.microsoft.com/ccf/app/run image on Azure Container Registry:

$ export VERSION="3.0.0"
$ export PLATFORM="sgx" # One of sgx, snp or virtual
$ docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/ccf/app/run:$VERSION-$PLATFORM

The container does not contain any particular CCF enclave application, and may be helpful when deploying CCF nodes via docker, k8s, etc. It is up to the operator(s) to mount the appropriate CCF enclave application and start and manage the CCF node.

Note

That image is optimised for size above all. If you need an image that comes with peripheral utilities, you probably want the Build Container instead.
