# Vulcanize DB
[![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 $GOPATH/src/github.com/vulcanize/vulcanizedb`
1. Import the schema: `psql vulcanize_public < db/schema.sql`
or run the migrations: `make migrate HOST_NAME=localhost NAME=vulcanize_public PORT=5432`
* See below for configuring additional environments
## Configuration
- To use a local Ethereum node, copy `environments/public.toml.example` to
`environments/public.toml` and update the `ipcPath` to the local node's IPC filepath:
- when using geth:
- The IPC file is called `geth.ipc`.
- The geth IPC file path is printed to the console when you start geth.
- The default location is:
- Mac: `$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/`
- 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>`
## Running the Tests
### Unit Tests
- `go test ./pkg/...`
### Integration Tests
- `go test ./...` to run all tests.
