# Optional (for development)
- Python 3.11+
- Go 1.21+
- Node.js 20+

Installation

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/rwilliamspbg-ops/Sovereign_Map_Federated_Learning.git
cd Sovereign_Map_Federated_Learning

# Verify installation
./genesis-launch.sh

🚀 Launch Procedure

Step 1: Pre-Launch Validation

Run pre-flight checks to ensure system readiness:

# Automated validation
./genesis-launch.sh

# Manual checks
docker --version
docker compose version
docker network ls
docker system df

Expected Output:

✓ Docker installed: Docker version 24.0.0
✓ Docker Compose installed: Docker Compose version 2.20.0
✓ All required files present
✓ System Resources: 16 cores, 32GB RAM, 400GB available
✓ All ports available

Step 2: Launch Monitoring Stack

The script automatically launches:

Prometheus (metrics collection)
Grafana (visualization)
Alertmanager (alerting)

# Monitoring services start automatically
# Manual start if needed:
docker compose -f docker-compose.full.yml up -d

Verification:

Prometheus: http://localhost:9090
Grafana: http://localhost:3001 (admin/admin)
Alertmanager: http://localhost:9093

Step 3: Genesis Block Creation

The Genesis block initializes the network with:

{
  "genesis_time": "2026-02-28 00:00:00",
  "chain_id": "sovereign-mainnet",
  "initial_nodes": 20,
  "consensus_mechanism": "BFT",
  "min_trust_score": 75,
  "target_accuracy": 0.85,
  "max_byzantine_tolerance": 0.33
}

Step 4: Network Deployment

Nodes are deployed in stages:

# Phase 1: Initial 20 nodes (automatic)
# Phase 2: Scale to 50 nodes (if needed)
docker compose -f docker-compose.full.yml up -d --scale node-agent=50

# Phase 3: Scale to 100 nodes (production)
docker compose -f docker-compose.full.yml up -d --scale node-agent=100

Step 5: Health Verification

Monitor system health:

# Quick status check
./genesis-launch.sh status

# Continuous monitoring
./genesis-launch.sh monitor

🔧 Post-Launch Operations

Scaling Operations

Gradual Scaling (Recommended):

# Scale to 30 nodes
docker compose -f docker-compose.full.yml up -d --scale node-agent=30

# Wait for stabilization (5 minutes)
sleep 300

# Scale to 50 nodes
docker compose -f docker-compose.full.yml up -d --scale node-agent=50

Immediate Scaling:

# Scale directly to target
docker compose -f docker-compose.full.yml up -d --scale node-agent=100

Performance Tuning

Adjust FL Parameters:

# Edit backend configuration
vi sovereignmap_production_backend_v2.py

# Key parameters:
# - ROUND_DURATION: Training round length
# - MIN_CLIENTS: Minimum participating nodes
# - CONVERGENCE_THRESHOLD: Accuracy target

Optimize Network:

# Adjust Docker resources
docker update --cpus="4" --memory="8g" <container_id>

# Monitor resource usage
docker stats

Backup & Recovery

Automated Backups:

# Backup metrics data
docker run --rm -v prometheus_data:/data -v $(pwd):/backup \
  alpine tar czf /backup/prometheus-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz /data

# Backup Grafana dashboards

# Increase swap space
sudo fallocate -l 8G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

# Adjust Docker limits
# Edit /etc/docker/daemon.json:
# {
#   "default-ulimits": {
#     "memlock": { "soft": -1, "hard": -1 }
#   }
# }
