Correct Execution Structure for Corda Network Bootstrapper #

Let's walk through the exact directory setup and execution steps you need to get the network-bootstrapper.jar working properly:

1. Directory Structure Requirements #

First, your target <nodes-root-dir> needs to be a dedicated folder that holds individual .conf configuration files for every node in your network—including notaries. There's no need for nested subfolders here; just place all the .conf files directly in this root directory.

Here's a concrete example of what this looks like:

nodes-root-dir/
├── notary.conf
├── partyA.conf
├── partyB.conf
└── partyC.conf

2. Node Configuration File Basics #

Each .conf file must include core settings that define the node's identity and connectivity. At minimum, you'll need:

• myLegalName: The X500 identifier for the node (e.g., O=Notary, L=New York, C=US)
• p2pAddress: The peer-to-peer communication address (e.g., localhost:10002)
• rpcSettings.address: The RPC endpoint for client connections (e.g., localhost:10003)
• rpcSettings.adminAddress: The admin RPC endpoint (e.g., localhost:10004)
• For notaries: Add the notary block, e.g., notary { validating = true } (use false for non-validating notaries)

3. Execution Steps #

Once your directory and configs are ready, follow these steps to run the bootstrapper:

• First, ensure you have the network-bootstrapper.jar file accessible (you can keep it in the same parent folder as your <nodes-root-dir>, or use its full file path in the command).
• Open your terminal/command prompt, then run:

  java -jar network-bootstrapper.jar <path-to-nodes-root-dir>
  

  Replace <path-to-nodes-root-dir> with either the absolute path (like /home/me/corda/nodes-root-dir) or relative path (like nodes-root-dir if the jar is in the same parent folder) to your config directory.

4. What the Bootstrapper Does #

After running the command, the bootstrapper will generate all the necessary files to run your Corda network:

• A shared network-parameters file that defines network-wide rules (like minimum platform version)
• A dedicated folder for each node inside your <nodes-root-dir> (or a nodes subfolder, depending on your Corda version)
• Each node folder will contain the full runtime setup: the node jar, cordapps, keystores, a finalized node.conf, and all required dependencies to start the node.
