How to retain the container state after shutdown restart of Hyperledger Fabric network

Question

I am trying to create a simple Hyperledger Fabric network. I have created in successfully. Now when i use the command ./stopFabric.sh to stop the network and then start it, the container state is lost. I want to know how can i restart/shutdown the network and the network should still retain the container state. How can i do it?

Answer 1

In a Dev environment, you can first run docker stop <container id> to stop the particular container. Then what you have to do is restart the Orderer, CA, peers and CouchDB containers. After this you can start the container using the docker start <container id>. I tried this and the container state was retained.
