Iquidus Explorer - 1.6.1

An open source block explorer written in node.js.

NB: Much depends on your server.

• SSD cached
• At least 1 GB of memory
• A good idea to configure swap Digital Ocean
• use the same amount of swap memory as you have as RAM (e.g 1gb, 2gb)
• Using an open VZ is possible, but you have to set up the whole OS first, which takes ages

---

Requires

• Ubuntu 14.04 server
• node.js >= 0.10.28
• mongodb 2.6.x
• *maod

---

Install some deps

---

git clone mao

$ git clone https://github.com/mao-zedongx/mao-zedong.git

$ cd mao-zedong/src

$ make -f makefile.unix

Start maod

$ ./maod

You get an error saying to make a .conf file. It will give you an rpcusername and rpcpassword. Copy paste them onto a text document.

$ nano /root/.mao/mao.conf

// If you do not have nano

// $ sudo apt-get install nano

Make the mao.conf (you could use the exact details below, you do not need to use the ones given by the error message)

rpcuser=maorpc
rpcpassword=FeYNNEkueCMrdU7su9gtNQyaKeCQAR87fzRrjBkNxStS

Create database with Mongodb (these are settings for Ubuntu 14)

see also at: mongodb

$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 0C49F3730359A14518585931BC711F9BA15703C6

$ echo "deb [ arch=amd64 ] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.4.list

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

---

Start mongodb:

$ mongo

Create databse:

> use explorerdb

Create user with read/write access:

> db.createUser( { user: "iquidus", pwd: "3xp!0reR", roles: [ "readWrite" ] } )

Croot

$ Ctrl + C

---

Get the explorer source

git clone https://github.com/mao-zedongx/explorer.git explorer

Update

$ cd explorer
$ npm update
$ cd (return)

Install node modules

cd explorer && npm install --production

Configure

$ cd settings.json

I have filled these in, so unless you change password or user for mongo, they are ready

I have also put a mao favicon in the public folder, and mao logo in the images folder

---

Start mao

$ cd (return)
$ cd mao-zedong/src
$ ./maod

---

cron

$ cd (return)

$ crontab-e

Copy paste these into the cron at the bottom:

*/1 * * * * cd /root/explorer && /usr/bin/nodejs scripts/sync.js index update > /dev/null 2>&1
 */2 * * * * cd /root/explorer && /usr/bin/nodejs scripts/sync.js market > /dev/null 2>&1
 */5 * * * * cd /root/explorer && /usr/bin/nodejs scripts/peers.js > /dev/null 2>&1

Exit

$ Ctrl + X

---

Start the explorer

$ cd explorer

$ screen -S explorer
$ npm start
$ Ctrl + A + D // to quit the running process

If you do not have screen

$ sudo apt-get install screen

---

If you get errors and want to start again, completely remove mongodb

$ sudo service mongod stop
$ sudo apt-get purge mongodb-org*
$ sudo rm -r /var/log/mongodb
$ sudo rm -r /var/lib/mongodb
$ cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
$ rm -r mongodb-org-3.4.list
$ sudo apt-get update

The mongodb site forgets to tell you to remove the mongodb-org-3.4.list, buyt it is necessary if you want to reinstall mongodb.
