Simple Bitcoin block explorer

Get started

Here is the process to install lumière.

Need a new BTCD node? (Recommended)

Create a .env file from the .env.sample template.
Leave the HOST variable as btcd.

Checkout Environment Variables for more informations.

Make sure to create a volume containing the chain data and a volume containing TLS certificates.

$ docker volume create btcd_data
$ docker volume create btcd_certs

Now run the app.

$ docker-compose up

Checkout localhost:8000.

Already have a BTCD node?

If you already have a btcd node running, make sure it has the --txindex and --addrindex parameters.

Create a .env file from the .env.sample template. Checkout Environment Variables for more informations.

Make sure to create a volume containing TLS certificates to connect to your node.

$ docker volume create btcd_certs

Now run the app.

$ docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.lumiere.yml up

Check out localhost:8000.

Development

Copy .env.sample to .env.

$ cp .env.sample .env

Make sure to create a volume containing the chain data and a volume containing TLS certificates.

$ docker volume create btcd_data
$ docker volume create btcd_certs

Now run the development environment.

$ docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.dev.yml up

This will start a BTCD node on the test network, the Go API and the UI.

The API is available at localhost:8000/api.
The UI is available at localhost:3000.
