# Configuration steps

## Section 1: Environment setup

## Description

Rsk blockchain explorer

## Components

### API server

HTTP/WS server, see the documentation [here](doc/api.md).

### Blocks services

Imports blockchain data from rsk node to DB.

- **blocksRouter:** routes messages between services *REQUIRED*
- **blocksListener:** listens to new blocks from node and announces them as service event.
- **blocksRequester:** requests blocks from node.
- **blocksChecker:** checks database for missing blocks and reorgs, emits missing/bad blocks.
- **txPool:** listens to node transactions pool and stores changes in the DB.
- **blocksBalances:** gets historical addresses balances and stores in the DB.
- **blocksStatus:** checks DB and node status and stores changes in the DB.
- **blocksStats:** gets BC stats and stores in the DB.

### API user events service

Allows to update fields on the fly and send async response to clients.
Required by the contract verification module.

## Requisites

- mongodb > 4
- node >= 12.18.2
- access to JSON/RPC interface of a rskj node >= 2.0.1
with this modules enabled: eth, net, web3, txpool, debug and trace.

## Install

- Install dependencies

``` shell
npm install
```

## Create log dir

```shell
sudo mkdir /var/log/rsk-explorer
sudo chown $USER /var/log/rsk-explorer/
chmod 755 /var/log/rsk-explorer
```

Note: You can change the log folder in config.json

## Configuration file

(optional)

``` shell
cp config-example.json config.json
```

see [configuration](#configuration)

## Start

### Services

Services can be started manually one by one, but we recommend to use [PM2](https://github.com/Unitech/pm2).
This repo includes a pm2 ecosystem file that starts all services automatically.

#### Install PM2

``` shell
npm install -g pm2
```

To enable pm2 log rotation

``` shell
pm2 install pm2-logrotate
```

see [pm2-logrotate](https://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/log-management/#pm2-logrotate-module)
see [pm2-logrotate configuration](https://github.com/keymetrics/pm2-logrotate#configure) to set the rotation options

e.g:

```shell

pm2 set pm2-logrotate:compress true

```

#### Start services

```shell
pm2 start dist/services/blocks.config.js
```

### API

``` shell
pm2 start dist/api/api.config.js
```

## Show PM2 logs in pretty format

All tasks

```shell

:~/rsk-explorer-api$ pm2 log --raw | npx bunyan

```

One task

```shell

:~/rsk-explorer-api$ pm2 log blocksListener --raw | npx bunyan

```

## Commands

Run api in development mode

``` shell
npm run dev
```

Run blocks service in development mode

``` shell
npm run blocks
```

Production build to ./dist folder

``` shell
npm run build
```

## Configuration

**config.json**
See defaults on: **lib/defaultConfig**
*(config.json overrides this values)*

Use:

```shell
node dist/tools/showConfig.js
```

to check current configuration

**Configuration Example:**

``` javascript
"source": {
"node": "localhost",
"port": 4444
```javascript
{
source: {
protocol: 'http',
node: 'localhost',
port: 4444,
url: null
},
sourceRoutes: { // Nod3Router routes, used as default when source is an array of sources
subscribe: 0, // delegates subscriptions to the first node
rsk: 0, // delegates rsk module to the node that handle subscriptions
trace: 1 // delegates trace_ module to the second node
},
"api": {
"address": "localhost",
"port": 3003
db: {
protocol: 'postgres://',
databaseName: 'explorer_db',
host: 'localhost',
port: 5432,
user: 'postgres',
password: 12345678
},
"db": {
"server": "localhost",
"port": 27017,
"database": "blockDB"
}
api: {
address: 'localhost',
port: 3003,
lastBlocks: 30,
MIN_LIMIT: 10,
LIMIT: 50,
MAX_LIMIT: 500,
MAX_PAGES: 10,
allowUserEvents: false,
exposeDoc: false,
// All modules are enabled as default
modules: setAllModules(true),
delayedFields,
allowCountQueries: false
},
blocks: {
blocksQueueSize: 10,
bcTipSize: 120,
batchRequestSize: 20,
debug: false,
ports: [3010], // list of services ports, if the list runs out, the services will try to take the next ports starting from the last
address: '127.0.0.1',
services
},
forceSaveBcStats: true,
enableTxPoolFromApi: true
}
```

```
### api
- **address** [string] api server bind address
- **port** [number] api server port
- **exposeDoc** [boolean]: serve rsk-openapi-ui on /doc to render swagger.json
- **allowUserEvents** [boolean]: allow contractVerifier

### To enable contract verifier module:

The contractVerifier module requires a connection to a [rsk-contract-verifier](https://github.com/rsksmart/rsk-contract-verifier)
instance. The url must be provided on api section:

- set api.allowUserEvents to true
- add the contract verifier url inside api:
```javascript
"api":{
"contractVerifier": {
"url": "ws://localhost:3008"
}
api:{
//... other configs,
contractVerifier: {
url: 'ws://localhost:3008'
},
//... other configs
}

```

### Source

Address of rskj node or array of addresses of rskj nodes
## Section 3: Build process
Run commands:
- npm install
- npm run build
- npx prisma generate

e.g.:

```json
{
"url":"http://localhost:4444"
}
## Start
- Start block service: npm run start-blocks
- Start api: npm run start-api

```
Note: an rsk node must be running in port or url specified in defaultConfig.js. Otherwise, blocks service will crash.

e.g:
## Section 4: Logs
To see block service logs:
- npm run blocks-logs-raw (production)
- npm run blocks-logs-pretty (development)

```json
[
{ "url":"http://localhost:4444" },
{ "url":"http://othernode:4444" }
]
To see api logs:
- npm run api-logs-raw (production)
- npm run api-logs-pretty (development)

```
## Section 5: Tools

### db
Get a block:
- node dist/tools/getBlock.js 4000 (print in console)
- node dist/tools/getBlock.js 4000 --save (print in console and also store in database)

- **server**": "localhost"
- **port**": 27017
- **database**: "explorerDB"
Get missing segments in database:
- node dist/tools/missingSegments.js

**Optionals:**
## Components

- **user**: < user >
- **password**: < password >
The logic in charge of indexing the blockchain in the database and maintaining data integrity consists of 4 services:
- [blocks-checker-service]: ensures integrity of the most recent 120 blocks in database at the moment of running the service
- [savetip-service]: requests blocks inside the tip size threshold (the top 120 newest, starting from latest block)
- [live-syncer-service]: requests new blocks to the RSK node, starting from latest block
- [static-syncer-service]: Stores immutable blocks (starting from latest - 120). To do so, it checks database gaps between already indexed blocks, and requests the missing ones by iterating the gaps

### blocks

- **validateCollections** :[Boolean] Validate collections at blocks service start, default false
- **blocksQueueSize**:[Number] blocksRequester queue size
- **bcTipSize**:[Number] Number of confirmations required to check blocks
- **debug**:[Boolean] Enable logging of nod3 requests, default false
- **services**:[Object] {ServiceName:[Boolean]}. All services are enabled as default, to disable a service use: **serviceName:false**
API server: HTTP/WS server
- API Documentation: [docs](doc/api.md)
- Swagger docs: [open api specification](public/swagger.json)

### api
## Development

- **address** [string] api server bind address
- **port** [number] api server port
Run api in development mode: npm run dev
Run blocks in development mode:

- **allowUserEvents** [boolean]: enable/disable userEventsApi
- **exposeDoc** [boolean]: serve rsk-openapi-ui on /doc to render swagger.json
- npm run build
- npm prisma generate
- npm run blocks-start

## Documentation

- [api documentation](doc/api.md)

Note Before uploading changes, remember to execute npm run build after upgrading version in package.version, so swagger docs compile the version number too.
