Chaincode compilation and deployment

After setting up the network and writing the Chaincode, it's time to deploy the Chaincode. For that, we start by building and compiling the Chaincode using the following command: go build.

Many developers directly compile and install Chaincode from the project Chaincode folder, which isn't the best practice. Typically, we define GOPATH at /opt/gopath in the docker-compose-cli.yaml file, under the cli section:

cli:
 container_name: cli
 image: hyperledger/fabric-tools
 tty: true
 environment:
 - GOPATH=/opt/gopath
 - CORE_VM_ENDPOINT=unix:///host/var/run/docker.sock
 - CORE_LOGGING_LEVEL=DEBUG
 ....
 working_dir: /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer
 command: /bin/bash -c './scripts/script.sh ${CHANNEL_NAME} ${DELAY}; sleep $TIMEOUT'
 volumes:
 - /var/run/:/host/var/run/
 - ./Chaincode/:/opt/gopath/src/github.com/Chaincode...
