Docker deployment of IdHub and tools

About the pilots that this repository deploys

• XO9B:

  • Motivation: The aim is to support an accreditation program for vulnerable people, exploring the value of using verifiable credentials to get services/benefits.

  • Scenario: A vulnerable family obtains a benefit (internet connection fee discount) presenting a verifiable credential to an connectivity provider entity.

    Actors-> XO9B: IdHub (acting as a user wallet), Connectivity provider entity: Demo portal (acting as Verifier Portal). The verifier portal incorporates verification capabalities and support to establish an OIDC4VP dialog with the user wallet.

• Setem:

  • Motivation: Since SETEM is a federation, members of one of the federated entities (Setem BCN) can accredit their membership to other federation members (Setem Madrid) with a verifiable credential to obtain a discount.

    Actors-> Setem BCN: IdHub (acting as a user wallet), Setem Madrid: Demo portal (acting as Verifier Portal). The verifier portal incorporates verification capabalities and support to establish an OIDC4VP dialog with the user wallet.

• Lafede:

  • Motivation: Implementation of the dual model of EIDAS1-compliant signed PDFS that embed public verifiable credentials exported as QR codes embedded in these documents. Member organisations of the Lafede federation request membership and training certificates.

    Actors-> Lafede: idHub

• Pangea:

  • Motivation: The case of Pangea as a web/internet service provider, with member organisations that receive services. These organisations have allocated several resources units (mail accounts, blogs, etc.). Only authorised users with a specific role should be able to access the Musician (Administration Control Panel of resources).
  • Scenarios:

    • Scenario 1-> 'Login with Organisation A (Idp)'. The staff members of organisation A, with the appropiate role, can authenticate themselves by providing their organisation credentials (username and password) to access a service in Pangea (Musician).

      Actors-> Pangea: Idp (goauthentik), Musician, Orchestra. Organisation A: Idp, IdHub

      Pangea delegates authentication to the idP of organisation B using OpenID Connect. In this case, the Pangea's IdP (goauthentik) delegates the authentication to Organisation A's IdP, which get the user's role information from the Organisation A's IdHub.

    • Scenario 2-> 'Present a verifiable credential'. The staff members of organisation A, with the appropiate credentials, present them to Pangea in order to access the Musician service.

      Actors-> Pangea: Idp (goauthentik), IdHub (as verifier), Musician, Orchestra (with also nginx api rproxy). Organisation A: IdHub (as user wallet)

• test: intended for software quality such as testing, CI/CD, etc.

Installation

Considering debian stable distribution (Debian 12 bookworm)

• docker: install using the convenience script
• make: some of the actions are declared in Makefile, you will need sudo apt install make.
• figlet: display large texts, better visibility when running all the pilots together sudo apt install figlet.

Deployment

Execute ./build__all.sh to run all the pilots, that includes building locally all the docker images and deploying its docker compose (each pilot has its docker-compose__pilot-example.yml).

Or run a specific pilot with ./build__pilot-example.sh.

All the scripts are written in POSIX Shell. I hope they are easy enough and structured to be adapted to your needs.

Development

You can use these docker images for developing the software. This repo is targeted on integrating, deploying and testing the IdHub tools. You can do the same with the other tools, the trick used is to override the docker's directory with a local directory. Example found on all pilots instances

    volumes:
      - ./idhub1__pilot-example:/opt/idhub

If you are developing IdHub, all the instances generate a copy of the target repository such as idhub1__pilot-example, which you can modify there, and the changes will apply to the deployment

In the .env there are some variables intended to be used for debugging purposes

Commands that you might like

if you want to enter a shell inside a new container:

docker run -it --entrypoint= ${target_docker_image} bash

if you want to enter a shell on already running container:

docker exec -it ${target_docker_image} bash

Where target_docker_image contains the ID of the container you want to run (see docker ps or docker ps -a)
