PHP Bitcoin Node Status Page

[CraigWatson]

Well, I just setup Bitcoin node, just try this, hahaha. I have always wanted to run a Bitcoin node so now I had a reason to do so. The status page can be found here: click. Bitcoind is still syncing blocks though and has been doing so for the last 12 hours.

Awesome, great to know the page is being used.

I've just updated the code with a better Readme and wrapped the node sub-version in htmlspecialchars

Ah alright, going to pull again than. Setting it up was really easy, but I'm a Web dev so I guess it should be easy for me

can you add FREE DISK SPACE ?

Code:

Free disk space:
<?php
    $bytes = disk_free_space(".");
    $si_prefix = array( 'B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB' );
    $base = 1024;
    $class = min((int)log($bytes , $base) , count($si_prefix) - 1);
  //  echo $bytes . '<br />';
    echo sprintf('%1.2f' , $bytes / pow($base,$class)) . ' ' . $si_prefix[$class] . '<br />';
?>

Added, with feature switch

[CraigWatson]

Also added: geolocation feature

[CraigWatson]

Thanks to a few more pull requests, we now have a few new features!

• Can bypass the file-based cache system entirely -- please note that this could overload your Bitcoind with RPC calls, please use with caution!
  
• Display if the node is running on testnet.
• Display the currently running Bitcoind version

Cheers for the comments and contributions - all are greatly appreciated

No problem

Removed (by default) the remote port when displaying connected nodes.

As with most of the page's functionality, it's easily toggled via the config.php file

[Cryptowatch.com]

Good work.

I noticed this "Free Disk Space: 19.39 GB" on https://loki.vikingserv.net/.

Is that supposed to be the size of the block chain? If so, you might want to  rephrase the label?

Also, shorena made some scripts, check these:
http://node.cryptowatch.com/
http://213.165.91.169/

I got the script for making graphs sent to me by Shorena, I could make it available if others want it too. Not sure if Shorena already made it available.

For those interested, there's also apparently a "high score list".

Check out these links:
https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/
https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/leaderboard/

It is possible to check your node on the leaderboard to see how you fare.

That's the amount of free disk space left on the node, so basically "the amount the blockchain can grow before I run out of space". Purely vanity and has no real purpose - but as with most things, can be controlled with a toggle switch in config.

I got the script for making graphs sent to me by Shorena, I could make it available if others want it too. Not sure if Shorena already made it available.

The graphs look nice, though I guess it's beyond the scope of this app for the moment - would be nice for a 2.0 release though! Would be interested to see what the code to generate the graphs is like - if you can check if Shorena is happy for the scripts to be made open source (a pre-requisite for the project) that would be awesome

Nice, I may add this in future

[BCwinning]

It's pretty nice.
I'm going to see if I can get my router to point to my node and display the results.

Yeah sure you can share the scripts with anyone. If you notice my name or link to my profile/node thats nice, but its not required. Best fitting license would probably be WTFPL or CC0. The little I wrote is public here -> http://213.165.91.169/whatdo.txt

Just a heads up though: I recently shared the complete collection of shell scripts and cronjobs with someone. Its currently not working even though they use the same Linux flavour. So you might have to look into rrdtool after all if you want something similar. Im currently[1] working on a ruby script that can feed several databases with a single request. Not sure where I will share it once its done, but Ill let you know somehow.


[1] a few lines a week, might take a while

This is a very interesting script thanks for making this. I am thinking about making a btc node because it has always been on my mind, but I never wanted to risk making one. Now I think I may make one just for the support of bitcoin.

[CraigWatson]

Some more minor revisions:

I've reworked the CSS to be slightly flatter and more modern, and shipped with two different styles - "light" (default) and "dark" (viewable on my demo) - just edit config.php.

I've also added a "Fork me on GitHub" ribbon (toggleable via config.php) - I'd really appreciate it if everyone could keep the ribbon enabled to try and boost exposure for the code

[Mitchell]

CraigWatson, will update my node right now and keep in the ribbon.

EDIT: Done.

[CraigWatson]

I've now added Travis CI testing, including PHP syntax checking and PEAR standards compliance - should hopefully make contributions easier

Can this be used with other cryptocurrencies?

[CraigWatson]

It can indeed, as long as they respond over RPC in the same way bitcoind does - I know for a fact that the page works with the LTC node, and should work for most altcoins.

Ok, thank you I'll try fiddling with this in the next few days...

hi craig,

I noticed this site, some 1/2 a year or so ago and relocated it after seeing your topic here;

http://176.10.116.242/xbt_cgi/node_status.pl?sortfield=syncnode&sortdirection=1

this is something (the stats from bitcoind) that you could easily incorporate into what you have already, I'd think..
