Foreword

We know that this documentation needs cleaned up and made easier to read. We'll compile it as part of the full documentation as the project moves forward.

Setup

1. Clone this repository to wherever you'd like the API to run:

git clone https://github.com/Kulteam/Blockchain-Cache-API.git

2. Install the required Node.js modules

cd Blockchain-Cache-API && npm install

3. Use your favorite text editor to change the values as necessary in config.json

Note: Make sure you use a read-only database user for security reasons

{
  "bindIp": "0.0.0.0",
  "httpPort": 80,
  "corsHeader": "*"
}

4. Fire up the script

export RABBIT_PUBLIC_SERVER=127.0.0.1
export RABBIT_PUBLIC_USERNAME=yourrabbitmqusername
export RABBIT_PUBLIC_PASSWORD=yourrabbitmqpassword
export MYSQL_HOST=127.0.0.1
export MYSQL_PORT=3306
export MYSQL_USERNAME=yourdbusername
export MYSQL_PASSWORD=yourdbpassword
export MYSQL_DATABASE=yourdbname
node index.js

5. Optionally, install PM2 or another process manager to keep the service running.

npm install -g pm2@latest
pm2 startup
pm2 start index.js --name Blockchain-Cache-API -i max
pm2 save
