AND ENTERPRISE BUSINESSES
AS THE FOUNDATION OF THEIR
B2B AND B2C FINANCIAL SERVICE PLATFORMS

Who is Marionette Test Drive for and what can you do with it?

  1. Teams who want to test the core functionality of Marionette Software to see if Marionette is the right fit for their vision/team/project.

  2. Teams who want to contribute to the improvements of Marionette Software, earn contributor bounties or earn a commercial license for Marionette Software.

  3. Teams who want to understand what does it actually take to run a cryptocurrency and fiat FinTech service.

  4. Teams who want to build their Proof of Concept and seek public and/or private investment with a go to market ready MVP.

  5. Teams can customize the UI with examples and thorough documentation of API's and Architecture.
    - User App Architecture:
    - Configurations for User App:
    - User App Queries, Mutations and Subscriptions:

  6. Teams can introduce their custom plugins and features. From introducing 3rd party services like custom bots, to integrating local banks, payment gateways, liquidity providers, market makers as well as very custom and unique user facing services.

#1 Step: Fork & Star Configurator repo

This document describes initial deployment process for the Marionette Software.

Marionette Configurator - is a tool set to generate deployment configuration for the Marionette Software.

Actions:

  1. Make changes in main configuration file global/config.yaml (yellow block)

  2. Render deployment configuration (red block)

  3. Make deployment on the server or locally (green blocks)

Many settings apply to multiple services. Therefore, they can be repeated in many configuration and compose files. So that when changing such settings there is no need to edit a large number of system files, we place specific parameters in a separate configuration file global/config.yaml. The configurator uses data from this file to fill in variables in template files (see handlebars).

Table of content

1. Prerequisites

Before you start, you have to prepare your hardware and software.

This document describe deployment on Ubuntu Server 23.10. There are no OS dependency due to Docker-based nature of Marionette services. Probably it will work on any Docker friendly infrastructure.

1.1. Hardware

Minimum hardware requirements (physical or virtual server):

  • CPU: 6

  • RAM: 10 GB

  • Disk: 40 GB

Note: Hardware resources must be estimated during technical interview according to Marionette Software settings

Connect to the VM via SSH in terminal or command line prompt, if you need more details on launching it and connecting to remote machine or using Recovery Console please read How to Use SSH to Connect to a Remote Server in Linux or Windows article.
This guide uses Linux terminal.

1.2. Software

2. Setup "Marionette Configurator"

Obtain copy of a repository . It is good idea to use git clone (instead download zip) to be able to receive update easily by git pull.

Note: All shell commands in this section are executed in Marionette Configurator root directory (directory where the project was cloned/downloaded)

2.1. Fetch application dependencies

(cd tool && npm install)

2.2. Check run of the marionette tool:

./m

You should receive:

 

2.3. Create key-pair for load balancer

mkdir config/secrets

Create couple of RSA keys for using by Marionette project (use the source for information)

You may get similar to:

Check generated keys inside current folder:

The result should be 2 generated keys:

2.4. Configure

2.4.1. Local deployment

Create couple certificate keys for using by Marionette project (use the source for information)

Check generated keys inside current folder:

The result should be 2 generated keys: cert.key and key.pem

Add to /etc/hosts following line:

It must be similar to:

2.4.2 Server deployment

To configure software you need to modify global/config.yaml configuration file.

a. Change base_url to your domain name

b. Change localhost_run to false

c. If you have file storage, sms and email providers you can configure:

  • Configure storage. See Storage configuration details here

  • Configure emailing. See Emailing configuration details here.

  • Configure SMS verification. See SMS verification configuration details here.

2.5. Run render-config to create compose and config files from templates

The result should be like next screen (all templates successfully 'Done'):

2.6. Pull Docker images

Pull Docker image to ensure availability/accessibility

In success case You should get (all docker images pull will 'done'):

Note: There are cases of troubleshooting You can mostly get on the reason of not enough user rights for docker images or errors in configuration

 

To resolve similar troubles You should:

  • check properly settings in the Marionette configuration file global/config.yaml in case of errors in configuration

  • provide the screen evidence to our technical staff for check your rights on the TuneX Docker images repository in case not enough user rights

Note: Follow the next step only if the current step was successful

2.7. Run all Marionette Stack services

All services will start and you should see all "green" done for each service:

2.8. Check services

example screen:

3. Admin Panel

Admin Panel is a web admin panel of Marionette Stack.

Open Admin Panel in browser

Local deployment:

Follow https://marionette.localhost/admin

Server deployment:

Follow https://<domain name>/admin

Use default login: qa@tunex.io, password: changeP@ssword123 to login

N.B. If you make local deployment you can receive following:

Click on “Advanced” then “Proceed to marionette.localhost (unsafe)”

Conclusion

You have finished the initial deployment of the Marionette Stack.
