  pull the genesis block for the current channel we would like to append our peer to.
  peer channel fetch oldest ​allarewelcome​.​block​ -​c​​ allarewelcome​ --​orderer​​orderer.example.com:7050

  There is a allarewelcome​.tx in the config folder but not a allarewelcome​.​block​

  It gives the following error
  Error: can't read the block: &{NOT_FOUND}

  I have checked the peer0 also using command
  peer channel list

  But it too is not joined to any channel.

  The tutorial mentions that this will be done by bootstrap.sh

  I had stopped all containers and restart them using the command
  docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d peer0.org1.example.com peer1.org1.example.com cli

  Hi @milangarg , first I would recommend to use the teardown script of your network, since you are in Lab2. Then when you run the startup script again.

  Regarding the block, the tx artifact will be generated in the config folder, but the allarewelcome.block will not. You have to extract that from inside the peer container from the orderer, as described in the documents. After completed, try to log into the peer container and do an LS, then you should see the allarewelcome.block

  Hi @moolkothari, what worked for me is to first execute the command for creating the channel:
  docker exec -e "CORE_PEER_LOCALMSPID=Org1MSP" -e "CORE_PEER_MSPCONFIGPATH=/etc/hyperledger/msp/users/[email protected]/msp" peer0.org1.example.com peer channel create -o orderer.example.com:7050 -c allarewelcome -f /etc/hyperledger/configtx/allarewelcome.tx as this transaction file already exists from the installation. This would create the channel.
  Then go back into your peer1 container to fetch the channel's genesis block:
  peer channel fetch oldest -c allarewelcome --orderer orderer.example.com:7050
  (make sure your msp is set correctly)

  Now that you have the genesis block, you can join the channel:
  peer channel join -b allarewelcome_oldest.block

  Hope this helps.
