Connecting MetaMask to a Hyperledger Besu Private Network on Different Computers

As a user of the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain platform, you are probably familiar with the convenience of using MetaMask, a popular wallet for Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies, to manage your digital assets. However, what if you want to connect your MetaMask wallet to a Hyperledger Besu Private Network running on another computer? In this article, we will walk you through the steps to achieve this connection.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure to follow:

• You have installed MetaMask on both computers.

• The Hyperledger Fabric Private Network is set up and running on your Ubuntu computer (computer B).

• Your MetaMask wallet is properly configured for Ethereum (or the cryptocurrency you want to use) on your Windows computer (computer A).

Step 1: Download and install Node.js

As MetaMask requires a node with JavaScript support, download and install the latest version of Node.js from the official website.

Step 2: Set up MetaMask on Computer B

On Ubuntu computer (B), follow these steps to set up MetaMask:

• Open the terminal.

• Type sudo npm install -g cordova (if you are using the Cordova CLI).

• Start the Cordova service: cordova start

• Install Node.js (version 14 or later): sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nodejs

Step 3: Set up MetaMask on Computer B

• Open the terminal.

• Type npm install -g metamask (if you are using the Metamask CLI).

• Start the Metamask service: metamask start

• Configure your Ethereum wallet settings in the Metamask CLI by running: metamask config set --network

Step 4: Connect to the Hyperledger Create private network on computer B

• Open a new terminal on the Ubuntu computer (B).

• Type nodemon and press Enter.

• Navigate to your project directory using cd.

• Run the following command to connect to your Hyperledger Fabric private network:

metamask connect --network 

Replace with the actual name of your Hyperledger Fabric private network.

Step 5: Verify the connection

After connecting to the network, verify that your MetaMask wallet is connected correctly. You can do this by checking the blockchain explorer or by using the metamask command line tool.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If you are having trouble, make sure your Ubuntu and Windows computers are running on separate networks.

• Check the network settings on both operating systems to make sure they are configured correctly.

• If you are using a VPN, try disabling it and reconnecting to the network.

If you follow these steps, you should now be able to connect your MetaMask wallet on the Windows computer (computer A) to the Hyperledger Besu private network running on the Ubuntu computer (computer B). Happy blockchain exploring!
