# 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)
## 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`
## 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 $GOPATH/src/github.com/vulcanize/vulcanizedb`
1. Run the migrations: `make migrate HOST_NAME=localhost NAME=vulcanize_public PORT=5432`
* See below for configuring additional environments
## Configuration
- To use a local Ethereum node, copy `environments/public.toml.example` to
`environments/public.toml` and update the `ipcPath` and `levelDbPath`.
- `ipcPath` should match the local node's IPC filepath:
- when using geth:
- The IPC file is called `geth.ipc`.
- The geth IPC file path is printed to the console when you start geth.
- The default location is:
- Mac: `$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
## Start syncing with postgres
Syncs VulcanizeDB with the configured Ethereum node.
1. Start node (**if fast syncing wait for initial sync to finish**)
1. In a separate terminal start vulcanize_db
- `./vulcanizedb sync --config <config.toml> --starting-block-number <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 <config.toml> --starting-block-number <block-number> --ending-block-number <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
## Running the Tests
### Unit Tests
- `go test ./pkg/...`
### Integration Tests
- `go test ./...` to run all tests.
