The server process handles peer-to-peer communication with the network and serves clients connected to it through a message bus. Wallet(s) are implemented by the client library and transactions are also signed at the client side, therefore it is safe to operate the Server in a remote environment as it does not store or receive private keys.

To use the API of your local server you need to run a message broker process providing the infrastructure. Since the message bus offers authentication and a wide selection of transports, your installation will likely be unique and need to be reflected in server/src/main/resources/context/BCSAPI-profile.xml. You find example configurations for the message broker Apollo and Active MQ there. The complete command line for a production environment might be:
