Ticker

This project aims to provide an easy-to-deploy Stellar ticker.

Quick Start

This project provides a docker setup that makes it easy to get a Ticker up and running (you can check an architecture overview here). In order to get up and running, follow these steps:

  1. Install Docker
  2. Clone the monorepo
  3. Build the Ticker's docker image. At the repo's root, run $ docker build -t ticker -f services/ticker/docker/Dockerfile-dev .
  4. Run the Ticker: $ docker run --rm -it -p "8000:8000" ticker (you'll be asked to enter a PostgreSQL password)
  5. After the initial setup (after the supervisord started message), you should be able to visit the two available endpoints: http://localhost:8000/markets.json and http://localhost:8000/assets.json

Persisting the data

The quickstart guide creates an ephemeral database that will be deleted once the Docker image stops running. If you wish to have a persisting ticker, you'll have to mount a volume inside of it. If you want to do this, replace step 4 with the following steps:

  1. Create a folder for the persisting data $ mkdir /path/to/data/folder
  2. Run the ticker with the mounted folder: $ docker run --rm -it -p "8000:8000" -v "/path/to/data/folder:/opt/stellar/postgresql" ticker (you'll also be asked to enter a PostgreSQL password in the first time you run, but shouldn't happen the next time you run this command).
  3. Voilà! After the initial setup / population is done, you should be able to visit you should be able to visit the two available endpoints: http://localhost:8000/markets.json and http://localhost:8000/assets.json

Using the CLI

You can also test the Ticker locally, without the Docker setup. For that, you'll need a PostgreSQL instance running. In order to build the Ticker project, follow these steps:

  1. See the details in README.md for installing dependencies.
  2. Run $ go run main.go --help to see the list of available commands.
