Hosting Block Explorer
You can install the Qwertycoin daemon from precompiled sources or compile it yourself. Guides for both are below.
- You can download the precompiled binaries here. Enter your downloaded file through your terminal and run
qwertycoindwith an open port like so:
./qwertycoind --restricted-rpc --enable-cors=* --enable-blockchain-indexes --rpc-bind-ip=0.0.0.0 --rpc-bind-port=8197
- This is a guide for compiling on Linux (Ubuntu). For other operating systems you can find a guide here.
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake git
- You will need Cmake version 3.10 to compile Qwertycoin. You can find a guide on installing that here.
- After installing the dependencies you can run this simple script:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/qwertycoin-org/qwertycoin
cd ./qwertycoin
mkdir ./build
cd ./build
cmake -DBUILD_ALL:BOOL=TRUE ..
cmake --build . --config Release
- If all went well, it will complete successfully, and you will find all your binaries in the
./build/srcdirectory. - Finally run
qwertycoindwith an open port like so:
./qwertycoind --restricted-rpc --enable-cors=* --enable-blockchain-indexes --rpc-bind-ip=0.0.0.0 --rpc-bind-port=8197
You can host the block explorer with Apache or Nginx. For this guide I will be using Apache.
- Install Apache
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo ufw allow 'Apache Full'
- Next download the block explorer code
git clone https://github.com/qwertycoin-org/qwertycoin-blockchain-explorer.git
- Change the 'api' variable in config.js to point to your daemon. Also change the '$apiNode=' variable in /api/index.php to point the API urls to your daemon.
- Once that is done copy all the files to the html directory.
sudo cp -rf api/ config.js css/ favicon.ico index.html js/ LICENSE pages/ q/ README.md /var/www/html/
- Your block explorer can now be seen at your servers address.
Extra:
- You can change the look of your block explorer by playing around with the
cssfiles.
