I have created a test instance of Mojaloop that people can use to test and
play with. You can access this test instance at http://mifosmojaloop.com
It is a single Ubuntu box with 4 different VMs running on it - the Mojaloop
core, the IST server, and 2 simulated DFSP instances (just like we saw in
the demo/screencast that Ed referred to earlier). Because we are accessing
all 4 servers through a single machine, I had to forward different ports to
route to the different services. Here are some of the basic mappings:
mifosmojaloop.com:3000 - Central Directory service
mifosmojaloop.com:3001 - End User Registry
mifosmojaloop.com:3002 - Central Ledger
mifosmojaloop.com:3119 - DFSP USSD test client 1 (this is the cell
phone simulator created by Software Group that is shown in the screencast)
mifosmojaloop.com:3219 - DFSP USSD test client 2
There are several other services/endpoints available - if you would like
access to those, let me know and I can get the full port mapping to you.
