Title: ElectrumX easy howto? Post by: JorisK on March 02, 2021, 07:46:33 PM Hi,
I want to run my own dedicated ElectrumX server for everyone, but can't find a decent howto that is recent. Anyone here that can help me? Gr. JorisK Title: Re: ElectrumX easy howto? Post by: NeuroticFish on March 02, 2021, 08:06:50 PM Is this outdated? https://github.com/bauerj/electrumx-installer
Because the latest (?) doc ( https://electrumx-spesmilo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ) links to this in case you want to install onto Linux. But I didn't install it (ever) and maybe you have already seen these pages... Do you have any OS in mind? Do you already have a fully synced Bitcoin Core? Is the howto also outdated? https://electrumx-spesmilo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/HOWTO.html#howto Title: Re: ElectrumX easy howto? Post by: JorisK on March 02, 2021, 08:49:19 PM Last time I checked, that first link was outdated, i'll look into it again.
I was hoping for some sort of docker setup. Title: Re: ElectrumX easy howto? Post by: hugeblack on March 03, 2021, 11:48:42 AM use ---> https://github.com/romanz/electrs/
@mocacinno created this topic ----> private Electrum Server [bitcointalk members only] (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5130661.0) when public electrum nodes were usder DDos attack. You can ask if you need more details. read this Features Quote Supports Electrum protocol v1.4 Maintains an index over transaction inputs and outputs, allowing fast balance queries Fast synchronization of the Bitcoin blockchain (~2 hours for ~187GB @ July 2018) on modest hardware Low index storage overhead (~20%), relying on a local full node for transaction retrieval Efficient mempool tracker (allowing better fee estimation) Low CPU & memory usage (after initial indexing) txindex is not required for the Bitcoin node Uses a single RocksDB database, for better consistency and crash recovery @romanzeyde topic ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4589797.0 Title: Re: ElectrumX easy howto? Post by: MixMAx123 on October 21, 2021, 08:16:14 PM I also search for a guide, which can install "Normal User" ElectrumX.
tried a lot, the ElectrumX installer does not work either. need Electrumx for my local block Explorer. Title: Re: ElectrumX easy howto? Post by: womanderful on October 22, 2021, 06:38:39 AM This is what I did on linux:
Code: root@myserver:~ # adduser electrumx Title: Re: ElectrumX easy howto? Post by: ABCbits on October 22, 2021, 09:36:08 AM I was hoping for some sort of docker setup. I made short guide about setup Electrum using docker few months ago. Honestly if the VPS use linux, you can use easy installer/docker (which i mentioned above), which is very easy to use. I saw the docker, but I haven't ever used docker in the past for setups. Would you mind guiding me a hand? There's no steps, just a “docker run /” script. I rarely use Docker, but here's short guide (i've tested it on my device, but don't know whether it runs on WSL) 1. Install docker Code: sudo apt install docker.io 2. Test whether docker run correctly Code: sudo docker run hello-world If you see message "Hello from Docker!", then Docker run correctly. 3. Create directory which used to store electrumx data Code: cd /home/user 4. Run this command Code: sudo docker run \ Here's short explanation 1. --net="host", this command is used to ensure the container can access host port. 2. -e used to configure environment for electrumx. 3. -p HOST_PORT:CONTAINER_PORT is used to expose and link port between host and container. 4. -v HOST_DIRECTORY:CONTAINER_DIRECTORY is used to link host directory on the container. 5. lukechilds/electrumx means container we're going to use P.S. If you want ElectrumX container to automatically start after boot, add --restart=always when you run docker. Title: Re: ElectrumX easy howto? Post by: MixMAx123 on October 22, 2021, 01:06:11 PM This is what I did on linux: Code: root@myserver:~ # adduser electrumx Thanks very much! At this point I will not get on: Code: electrumx@myserver:~/electrumx$ pip3 install . @ETFbitcoin Thanks very much! With docker I do not know myself and it is an additional difficulty for me. Since I'm not familiar with Linux, I try to make it as easy as possible. Title: Re: ElectrumX easy howto? Post by: DaveF on October 22, 2021, 03:46:52 PM Are you looking for something for just you to use or for public use?
Are you looking to learn how to do it and maintain it or just have it work? Any of the 'nodes in a box' that I talk about a lot run electrs so for single or limited number of users it's fine. For a pubic server it's going to be slow. You also don't learn anything it's just a click and install. So there is that too. -Dave Title: Re: ElectrumX easy howto? Post by: MixMAx123 on October 22, 2021, 05:10:02 PM I have to install Electrumx because it is needed by the RPC Explorer to display addresses.
After the last attempt, my ubuntu is destroyed. The GUI does not start and only a console window with username and password appears. Linux is like bitcoin transactions. To claim coins you have to enter a valid signature script in the SIGScript field. To make something in Linux, you have to enter any kind of Cryptic in the console, which only understand freaks. ;-( Linux will probably not become my friend. Title: Re: ElectrumX easy howto? Post by: DaveF on October 22, 2021, 06:03:07 PM I have to install Electrumx because it is needed by the RPC Explorer to display addresses. Take a look at mynodebtc.com It can run on as a virtual machine on VirtualBox VM under Windows http://mynodebtc.com/download Installs Bitcoin, electrum and BTC RPC explorer v2.0.2 and a few other apps with a click of a button. No linux knowledge needed. Just a spare TB or drive space :-) The online community support is good too. There is a paid edition with more features and better support but probably not needed if you just want a small setup. -Dave |
