ElectrumX Server Setup

We have forked ElectrumX in order to make changes that specifically support Zclassic and later shielded transactions.

In order to run the server, you need RPC access to a Zclassic full node on the same machine.

You should set up a custom domain with an SSL cert for each server.

Setup

1. Acquire a linux machine
2. Download a conf file here and put it here ~/.zclassic/zclassic.conf (create the .zclassic folder if not present)
3. Open the zclassic.conf file and replace rpcuser value with zcl and rpcpassword value with a secure randomly generated value
4. After the rpcport line add 'txindex=1' as a new line
5. Clone Zclassic from github
6. Build Zclassic from instructions
7. Run 'nohup ./src/zcashd -daemon'
8. Download electrumx-zcl
9. Create a dir at ~/zcl_electrum_db
10. Change directory to electrumx
11. Install electrumx dependencies
12. Increase file descriptor limit [here)(https://underyx.me/2015/05/18/raising-the-maximum-number-of-file-descriptors)
13. Run electrumx COIN=Zclassic DB_DIRECTORY=/home/<user>/zcl_electrum_db DAEMON_URL=http://<zcl rpc user>:<rpc password in zclassic.conf file>@127.0.0.1:8232 HOST=0.0.0.0 SSL_PORT=50002 PEER_DISCOVERY=Off SSL_CERTFILE=<path to>/fullchain.pem SSL_KEYFILE=<path to>/privkey.pem BANDWIDTH_LIMIT=10000000 DONATION_ADDRESS=t1gsePJZ6ojJYygj3PWMGJfojPUoMd5AVfU MAX_SESSIONS=5000 nohup ./electrumx_server.py &
