The raw data indexed by ipld-eth-server serves as the basis for more specific watchers and applications. +NOTE: WIP -Currently the service supports complete processing of all Bitcoin and Ethereum data. +ipld-eth-server is used to service queries against the indexed Ethereum IPLD objects indexed by [ipld-eth-indexer](https://github.com/vulcanize/ipld-eth-indexer). + +It exposes standard Ethereum JSON RPC endpoints on top of the database, in some cases these endpoints can leverage the unique indexes to improve query performance. +Additional, unique endpoints are exposed which utilize the new indexes and state diff data objects. -## Architecture -More details on the design of ipld-eth-server can be found in [here](./documentation/architecture.md) ## Dependencies Minimal build dependencies @@ -28,111 +27,10 @@ Minimal build dependencies * GCC compiler * This repository -Potential external dependencies -* Goose -* Postgres -* Statediffing go-ethereum -* Bitcoin node +External dependency +* Postgres database populated by [ipld-eth-indexer](https://github.com/vulcanize/ipld-eth-indexer) ## Install -1.

To allow access on Ubuntu, set localhost connections via hostname, ipv4, and ipv6 from peer/md5 to trust in: /etc/postgresql//pg_hba.conf - -(It should be noted that trusted auth should only be enabled on systems without sensitive data in them: development and local test databases) - -### IPFS -Data is stored in an [IPFS-backing Postgres datastore](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ds-sql). -By default data is written directly to the ipfs blockstore in Postgres; the public.blocks table. -In this case no further IPFS configuration is needed at this time. - -Optionally, ipld-eth-server can be configured to function through an internal ipfs node interface using the flag: `-ipfs-mode=interface`. -Operating through the ipfs interface provides the option to configure a block exchange that can search remotely for IPLD data found missing in the local datastore. -This option is irrelevant in most cases and this mode has some disadvantages, namely: - -1. Environment must have IPFS configured -1. Process will contend with the lockfile at `$IPFS_PATH` -1. Publishing and indexing of data must occur in separate db transactions - -More information for configuring Postgres-IPFS can be found [here](./documentation/ipfs.md) - -### Blockchain -This section describes how to setup an Ethereum or Bitcoin node to serve as a data source for ipld-eth-server - -#### Ethereum -For Ethereum, [a special fork of go-ethereum](https://github.com/vulcanize/go-ethereum/tree/statediff_at_anyblock-1.9.11) is currently *requirde*. -This can be setup as follows. -Skip this step if you already have access to a node that displays the statediffing endpoints. - -Begin by downloading geth and switching to the statediffing branch: - -`GO111MODULE=off go get -d github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum` - -`cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum` - -`git remote add vulcanize https://github.com/vulcanize/go-ethereum.git` - -`git fetch vulcanize` - -`git checkout -b statediffing vulcanize/statediff_at_anyblock-1.9.11` - -Now, install this fork of geth (make sure any old versions have been uninstalled/binaries removed first): - -`make geth` - -And run the output binary with statediffing turned on: - -`cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/build/bin` - -`./geth --syncmode=full --statediff --ws` - -Note: to access historical data (perform `backFill`) the node will need to operate as an archival node (`--gcmode=archive`) with rpc endpoints -exposed (`--rpc --rpcapi=eth,statediff,net`) - -Warning: There is a good chance even a fully synced archive node has incomplete historical state data to some degree - -The output from geth should mention that it is `Starting statediff service` and block synchronization should begin shortly thereafter. -Note that until it receives a subscriber, the statediffing process does nothing but wait for one. Once a subscription is received, this -will be indicated in the output and the node will begin processing and sending statediffs. - -Also in the output will be the endpoints that will be used to interface with the node. -The default ws url is "127.0.0.1:8546" and the default http url is "127.0.0.1:8545". -These values will be used as the `ethereum.wsPath` and `ethereum.httpPath` in the config, respectively. - -#### Bitcoin -For Bitcoin, ipld-eth-server is able to operate entirely through the universally exposed JSON-RPC interfaces. -This means any of the standard full nodes can be used (e.g. bitcoind, btcd) as the data source. - -Point at a remote node or set one up locally using the instructions for [bitcoind](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin) and [btcd](https://github.com/btcsuite/btcd). - -The default http url is "127.0.0.1:8332".
