Prerequisites

• Docker and docker compose
• FEDn, install with pip3 install fedn.

Setting up a sandbox environment

To launch the environment, run:

docker-compose up

and wait for all services to initialize.

Next, add the following entry to your hosts file:

127.0.0.1 api-server combiner

If you want to connect the client from a different computer, you would have to change IP to the IP of the computer running the API server and the combiner.

Open the API_Example.ipynb notebook and run the first cells, setting the compute package and the seed model. Then start a client with:

fedn client start -in client.yaml

Once the client is running, you can proceed with the remaining steps in the notebook to start a session and plot the results.
