For an easy testing of OdysseusNet on a single machine, we propose the user of docker-compose. See an example of a docker-compose.yml file below (use docker-compose up) . Here three workers with kafka capabilities are created and started. Hint: To update the images to the lastest versions after the initial download use docker-compose pull bevor starting with up again.

version: '3.8'

services:
    worker01:
        image: odysseusol/odysseus_kafka_debug:dev-latest
        stdin_open: true
        ports:
            - 18881:8888
        volumes:
            - ./worker01:/var/lib/odysseus
            
    worker02:
        image: odysseusol/odysseus_kafka_debug:dev-latest
        stdin_open: true
        ports:
            - 18882:8888
        volumes:
            - ./worker02:/var/lib/odysseus        

    worker03:
        image: odysseusol/odysseus_kafka_debug:dev-latest
        stdin_open: true
        ports:
            - 18883:8888
        volumes:
            - ./worker03:/var/lib/odysseus        

As this is not a root container under linux you will need to give write access to user with uid=1000 gid=1024

sudo chown 1000:1888 worker0*
sudo chmod 755 worker0*

or give access right for any user:

sudo chmod 777 -R worker0*

Remark: If you do not want to use kafka to communicate and the worker should be able to commicate with each other, it is important, that the master node is part of the docker network, else the connections between the workers could be failing.
