Ethereum Network Intelligence API

This is the backend service which runs along with the node for tracking the ethereum network status, fetches information through the JSON-RPC and connects through WebSockets to eth-netstats and feed information constantly.

Prerequisite

eth or geth
node
npm

Installation on Ubuntu

Fetch and run the build shell. This will install everything you need: latest ethereum - CLI from develop branch (you can choose between eth or geth), node.js, npm & pm2.

bash <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cubedro/eth-net-intelligence-api/master/bin/build.sh)

Configuration

Configure the app modifying processes.json. Note that you have to modify the backup processes.json file located in ./bin/processes.json (to allow you to set your env vars without being rewritten when updating).

"env":
	{
		"NODE_ENV"        : "production", // tell the client we're in production environment
		"RPC_HOST"        : "localhost", // eth JSON-RPC host
		"RPC_PORT"        : "8080", // eth JSON-RPC port
		"INSTANCE_NAME"   : "", // whatever you wish to name your node
		"WS_SERVER"       : "wss://eth-netstats.herokuapp.com", // path to eth-netstats WebSockets api server
		"WS_SECRET"       : "", // WebSockets api server secret used for login
	}

Run

Run it using pm2:

cd ~/bin
pm2 start processes.json

Updating

To update the API client use the following command:

~/bin/www/bin/update.sh

It will stop the current netstats client processes, automatically detect your ethereum implementation and version, update it to the latest develop build, update netstats client and reload the processes.
