# Vulcanize DB [![Join the chat at https://gitter.im/vulcanizeio/VulcanizeDB](https://badges.gitter.im/vulcanizeio/VulcanizeDB.svg)](https://gitter.im/vulcanizeio/VulcanizeDB?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/vulcanize/vulcanizedb.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/vulcanize/vulcanizedb) ## About Vulcanize DB is a set of tools that make it easier for developers to write application-specific indexes and caches for dapps built on Ethereum. ## Dependencies - Go 1.9+ - Postgres 10 - Ethereum Node - [Go Ethereum](https://ethereum.github.io/go-ethereum/downloads/) (1.8+) - [Parity 1.8.11+](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/releases) ## Installation `go get github.com/vulcanize/vulcanizedb` `go get gopkg.in/DataDog/dd-trace-go.v1/ddtrace` ## Setting up the Database 1. Install Postgres 1. Create a superuser for yourself and make sure `psql --list` works without prompting for a password. 1. `createdb vulcanize_public` 1. `cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/vulcanize/vulcanizedb` 1. Run the migrations: `make migrate HOST_NAME=localhost NAME=vulcanize_public PORT=5432` * See below for configuring additional environments ## Create a migration file (up and down) 1. ./script/create_migrate create_bite_table ## Configuration - To use a local Ethereum node, copy `environments/public.toml.example` to `environments/public.toml` and update the `ipcPath` and `levelDbPath`. - `ipcPath` should match the local node's IPC filepath: - when using geth: - The IPC file is called `geth.ipc`. - The geth IPC file path is printed to the console when you start geth. - The default location is: - Mac: `$HOME/Library/Ethereum` - Linux: `$HOME/.ethereum` - when using parity: - The IPC file is called `jsonrpc.ipc`. - The default location is: - Mac: `$HOME/Library/Application\ Support/io.parity.ethereum/` - Linux: `$HOME/.local/share/io.parity.ethereum/` - `levelDbPath` should match Geth's chaindata directory path. - The geth LevelDB chaindata path is printed to the console when you start geth. - The default location is: - Mac: `$HOME/Library/Ethereum/geth/chaindata` - Linux: `$HOME/.ethereum/geth/chaindata` - `levelDbPath` is irrelevant (and `coldImport` is currently unavailable) if only running parity. - See `environments/infura.toml` to configure commands to run against infura, if a local node is unavailable. - Copy `environments/local.toml.example` to `environments/local.toml` to configure commands to run against a local node such as [Ganache](https://truffleframework.com/ganache) or [ganache-cli](https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache-clihttps://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache-cli). ## Start syncing with postgres Syncs VulcanizeDB with the configured Ethereum node, populating blocks, transactions, receipts, and logs. This command is useful when you want to maintain a broad cache of what's happening on the blockchain. 1. Start Ethereum node (**if fast syncing your Ethereum node, wait for initial sync to finish**) 1. In a separate terminal start VulcanizeDB: - `./vulcanizedb sync --config --starting-block-number ` ## Alternatively, sync from Geth's underlying LevelDB Sync VulcanizeDB from the LevelDB underlying a Geth node. 1. Assure node is not running, and that it has synced to the desired block height. 1. Start vulcanize_db - `./vulcanizedb coldImport --config --starting-block-number --ending-block-number ` 1. Optional flags: - `--starting-block-number`/`-s`: block number to start syncing from - `--ending-block-number`/`-e`: block number to sync to - `--all`/`-a`: sync all missing blocks ## Alternatively, sync in "light" mode Syncs VulcanizeDB with the configured Ethereum node, populating only block headers. This command is useful when you want a minimal baseline from which to track targeted data on the blockchain (e.g. individual smart contract storage values). 1. Start Ethereum node 1. In a separate terminal start VulcanizeDB: - `./vulcanizedb lightSync --config --starting-block-number ` ## Backfill Maker event logs from light sync Backfills Maker event logs from the configured Ethereum node based on the populated block headers. This includes logs related to auctions, multi-collateral dai, and price feeds. This command requires that a light sync (see command above) has previously been run. _Since auction/mcd contracts have not yet been deployed, this command will need to be run a local blockchain at the moment. As such, a new environment file will need to be added. See `environments/local.toml.example`._ 1. Start Ethereum node 1. In a separate terminal run the backfill command: - `./vulcanizedb backfillMakerLogs --config ` ## Start full environment in docker by single command ### Geth Rinkeby make command | description ------------------- | ---------------- rinkeby_env_up | start geth, postgres and rolling migrations, after migrations done starting vulcanizedb container rinkeby_env_deploy | build and run vulcanizedb container in rinkeby environment rinkeby_env_migrate | build and run rinkeby env migrations rinkeby_env_down | stop and remove all rinkeby env containers Success run of the VulcanizeDB container require full geth state sync, attach to geth console and check sync state: ```bash $ docker exec -it rinkeby_vulcanizedb_geth geth --rinkeby attach ... > eth.syncing false ``` If you have full rinkeby chaindata you can move it to `rinkeby_vulcanizedb_geth_data` docker volume to skip long wait of sync. ## Running the Tests - `make test` - Note: requires Ganache chain setup and seeded with `flip-kick.js` and `frob.js` (in that order) ## Deploying 1. you will need to make sure you have ssh agent running and your ssh key added to it. instructions [here](https://developer.github.com/v3/guides/using-ssh-agent-forwarding/#your-key-must-be-available-to-ssh-agent) 1. `go get -u github.com/pressly/sup/cmd/sup` 1. `sup staging deploy`
