## 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`
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
- 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 <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
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
2. In a separate terminal start VulcanizeDB:
|
|
- `./vulcanizedb lightSync --config <config.toml> --starting-block-number <block-number>`
|
|
|
|
## Backfill Auction event logs from light sync
|
|
Backfills auction event logs from the configured Ethereum node based on the populated block headers.
|
|
This command requires that a light sync (see command above) has previously been run.
|
|
|
|
_Since auction 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 backfillAuctionLogs --config <config.toml>`
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
