DeFi Blockchain Explorer

An insight-based blockchain explorer that's built for the DeFi Blockchain (defichain.io).

Start

The default setup uses docker and docker-compose to enable a single command deployment with an env file.

By default there are 3 env files in the repo:

• .env.example
• .env.testnet
• .env.mainnet

One is a local example file - .env.example. The other two files target testnet.defichain.io and mainnet.defichain.io deployments. To do a local deployment:

user@host:~/src/defi-explorer$ cp .env.example .env

user@host:~/src/defi-explorer$ docker-compose up

That's it. This should launch everything required (DeFi Blockchain node, Bitcore API server, MongoDB and Insight) in their respective containers.

Please have a look at the docker-compose.yml file for other defaults and env usage.

Configurations

Environment variables

• NETWORK [required] - mainnet/testnet
• API_PREFIX [required] - The full path prefix to the bitcore API endpoint
• HTTP_PORT [default: 5000] - The final web endpoint of the insight explorer
• API_PORT [default: 3000] - The bitcore API endpoint port
• BITCORE_NODE_FILE_LOG [default: false] - When "true" it will create a local log file using winston
• BITCORE_NODE_SENTRY_DNS [default: false] - An api key for sentry when present logs response on sentry

Conf files

• bitcore.${NETWORK}.config.json [required] - The bitcore config file for the given network provided by the NETWORK env.
• defi.${NETWORK}.conf [required] - The DeFi Blockchain config that's used the node.

NOTE: Please make sure to set a proper rpc username and password in both of the above before production deployments.

• The DeFi Blockchain node version entirely depends on the docker image used to run it, with compose.

For details on bitcore config, have a look at the Bitcore README.

Notes

Deployment shortcuts:

testnet.defichain.io:

docker-compose --env-file .env.testnet up

mainnet.defichain.io:

docker-compose --env-file .env.mainnet up
