To run the mediator, it requires these packages that is also part of the Affinidi Messaging project.

1. affinidi-messaging-didcomm - Affinidi Messaging DIDComm implementation, a modified version of didcomm-rust project.
2. affinidi-messaging-sdk - a Software Development Kit (SDK) to simplify the implementation of Affinidi Messaging into your application.

Prerequisites

To build and run this project, you need to set up the following:

1. Install Rust on your machine if you haven't installed it yet using this guide.
2. Install Docker on your machine if you haven't installed it yet using this guide. We will need this to run Redis instance for the mediator.

Running affinidi-messaging-mediator service

1. Run Redis docker container using the command below:

   docker run --name=redis-local --publish=6379:6379 --hostname=redis --restart=on-failure --detach redis:latest

2. Run setup_environment to configure the mediator with all the required information to run locally.

   You must run the following from the top-level directory of affinidi-messaging

   cargo run --bin setup_environment

   This will generate:

   • Mediator DID and secrets
   • Administration DID and secrets
   • SSL Certificates for local development/testing

3. Start affinidi-messaging-mediator service via:

   cd affinidi-messaging-mediator
   export REDIS_URL=redis://@localhost:6379
