 abstract = {Hyperledger Fabric is an open-source private permissioned blockchain that supports the use of smart contracts (chaincode). It is aimed mainly at private networks of companies. To serve the different needs of each company and to be flexible in customer requirements, it consists of various adaptive components. Although this structure efficiently addresses a wide range of needs, deploying such a network for research purposes or rapid development is complex. In this paper, we present a web-based system architecture for the automated deployment of a Hyperledger Fabric network, and in addition, we describe the tools needed to manage and update such a network. Finally, as a proof-of-concept, we implement the proposed architecture to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach.}
