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