Ark blockchain explorer version 0.1. Works with Ark wallet API. Uses Redis for caching data and Freegeoip for IP geo-location.
- Nodejs v4.0.0 or higher (https://nodejs.org/)
- Redis (http://redis.io)
- Freegeoip (https://github.com/fiorix/freegeoip)
- Bower (http://bower.io/)
- Grunt.js (http://gruntjs.com/)
To install run:
npm install
bower install
Redis is used for caching parsed exchange data. To install Redis perfom the following:
sudo apt-get install redis-server
Once installation is complete, run the server using the following command:
nohup redis-server &
Freegeoip is used by the Network Monitor for IP address geo-location.
Installation is very simple. Download and unpack the latest release from: https://github.com/fiorix/freegeoip/releases
Then start the server in the background, using the following command:
./freegeoip > /dev/null 2>&1 &
config.json file contains configuration settings.
Example:
{
"configuration" : {
"development": {
"host": "0.0.0.0",
"port": 6040
},
"production": {
"host": "0.0.0.0",
"port": 80
},
"ark" : {
"host" : "127.0.0.1",
"port" : 4000
},
"freegeoip" : {
"host" : "127.0.0.1",
"port" : 8080
},
"redis" : {
"host" : "127.0.0.1",
"port" : 6379,
"password" : ""
},
"cacheTTL" : 20,
"fixedPoint" : 100000000,
"enableCandles" : true,
"updateCandlesInterval" : 30000,
"enableOrders" : true,
"updateOrdersInterval" : 30000,
"enableExchange" : true,
"updateExchangeInterval" : 900000,
"btcusdExchange" : "bitfinex",
"arkbtcExchange" : "poloniex"
}
}
cacheTTL- time to live cache in redis.fixedPoint- fixed point number of Ark (10^8).enableCandles- enable or disable updating of candlestick data.updateCandlesInterval- time to update candlestick data.enableOrders- enable or disable updating of order book data.updateOrdersInterval- time to update order book data.enableExchange- enable or disable exchange currency courses.updateExchangeInterval- time to update exchange currency courses.btcusdExchange- default is bitfinex, alternatives are: bitstamp & btce.arkbtcExchange- default is poloniex.
Frontend must be built with grunt:
grunt compile
If you want to work with frontend and see updates in realtime run:
grunt
It will update css/js files as changes are made.
To build candlestick data for each exchange run:
grunt candles:build
To update candlestick data manually run:
grunt candles:update
During runtime candlestick data is updated automatically.
To run benchmark tests run:
node benchmark.js
Development:
node app.js
Open: http://localhost:6000
Production:
NODE_ENV=production node app.js
Open: http://localhost
Ports for both mode can be found in config.json
