API Server for Odysee

⚠️ If you are looking for the UI code, that lives here: https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop. ⚠️

This is the API server used by Odysee, mostly acting as a bridge between web and the blockchain.

Running off source (the preferred way for development)

1. Launch the containers

docker-compose up -d postgres lbrynet

Note: if you're running a LBRY desktop app or a lbrynet instance, you will have to either shut it down or change its ports

2. Setup up the database schema if this is your first launch

go run . db_migrate_up

3. Generate RSA key file

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f token_privkey.rsa -m pem

4. Start Odysee API server

go run .

5. Clone lbry-desktop repo, if you don't have it

cd ..
git clone git@github.com:lbryio/lbry-desktop.git

6. Launch UI in lbry-desktop repo folder

SDK_API_URL=http://localhost:8080 yarn dev:web

Running with Docker

Make sure you have recent enough Docker and docker-compose installed.

1. Initialize and launch the containers

This will pull and launch SDK and postgres images, which Odysee API requires to operate.

docker-compose up app

Note: if you're running a LBRY desktop app or lbrynet instance, you will have to either shut it down or change ports

2. Clone lbry-desktop repo, if you don't have it

cd ..
git clone git@github.com:lbryio/lbry-desktop.git

3. Launch UI in lbry-desktop repo folder

LBRY_WEB_API=http://localhost:8080 yarn dev:web

4. Open http://localhost:9090/ in Chrome or Firefox for best experience

Testing

Make sure you have lbrynet, postgres and postgres-collector containers running and run make prepare_test test.

Modifying and building a Docker image

First, make sure you have Go 1.15+

• Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/~longsleep/+archive/ubuntu/golang-backports or https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Ubuntu
• OSX: brew install go

Then build the binary, create a docker image locally and run off it:

make image && docker-compose up app
