# eth-indexer
![GitHub Tag](https://img.shields.io/github/v/tag/grassrootseconomics/eth-indexer)
A lightweight Postgres chain indexer designed to couple with
[eth-tracker](https://github.com/grassrootseconomics/eth-tracker) to index all
relevant GE related blockchain data on any EVM chain.
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- Git
- Docker
- Postgres server
- Access to a `eth-tracker` instance
See [docker-compose.yaml](dev/docker-compose.yaml) for an example on how to run
and deploy a single instance.
### 1. Build the Docker image
We provide pre-built images for `linux/amd64`. See the packages tab on Github.
If you are on any other platform:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/grassrootseconomics/eth-indexer.git
cd eth-indexer
docker buildx build --build-arg BUILD=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) --tag eth-indexer:$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) --tag eth-indexer:latest .
docker images
```
### 2. Run Postgres
For an example, see `dev/docker-compose.postgres.yaml`.
### 3. Update config values
See `.env.example` on how to override default values defined in `config.toml`
using env variables. Alternatively, mount your own config.toml either during
build time or Docker runtime.
```bash
# Override only specific config values
nano .env.example
mv .env.example .env
```
Special env variables:
- DEV=*
Refer to [`config.toml`](config.toml) to understand different config value
settings.
### 4. Run the indexer
```bash
cd dev
docker compose up
```
