Monero node tracker.
Stores Monero (and Wownero) nodes for clearnet, Tor, and I2P.
Tools you will need:
- Docker # apt-get install docker.io
- docker-compose # apt-get install docker-compose
- python3 (linux os will have this)
- python3-venv # apt-get install python3-venv
I have provided a Makefile with some helpful stuff...make sure to install make to use it.
The map portion of the service requires the GeoLite2 db...the make setup command fetches a copy via wget.
# install python virtual environment and install application dependencies
make setup
# default configs work out of the box, modify .env if needed
# setup .env
cp env-example .env
vim .env
# run services (tor, i2p, etc)
make up
# run development server
make dev
# access at http://127.0.0.1:5000
There are 3 things that need to run in the background:
- validating nodes that have been added
- checking existing node health
- scraping peer lists
I accomplish this via crontab and some management scripts. Ensure the i2p and tor containers are running (or just on the host) so that requests can be proxied.
docker-compose up -d
./manage.sh validate
./manage.sh check
./manage.sh get_peers
For production, update SERVER_NAME in .env to your production URL/domain. Use manage.sh (or provided Makefile) to serve the Flask process using Gunicorn.
./manage.sh prod
Runs the Gunicorn process on port 4000. Setup a web server to proxy requests to that port.
Kill production Gunicorn with make kill.
