A private Ethereum network is useful for dapp testing, privacy, starting a local network for a hackathon, and many other purposes. An Ethereum network is private if the nodes are not connected to a main network.
Setting up a private network can be a complex task; you need to configure a genesis block, different node types, miners, monitoring, and more. To help get you started, `puppeth` is a CLI tool that leads you through the steps to create a private network, building it with Docker containers, and in creating a new Ethereum network down to the genesis, bootnodes, signers, ethstats, faucet, dashboard and more, without the hassle that it normally takes to configure all these services one by one. Puppeth uses ssh to connect into remote servers and builds its network components out of docker containers using docker-compose. The user is guided through the process via a command-line wizard that does the heavy lifting and topology configuration automatically behind the scenes.
