Run BlockChan Locally

This project was generated with [Angular CLI](https://github.com/angular/angular-cli) version 7.2.2.

Clone this repo: https://github.com/milezzz/BlockChan.git

Install Angular CLI: npm install -g @angular/cli

You must then run: npm install --save-dev @angular-devkit/build-angular

Install Dependencies: npm install

Run Locally: ng serve

Navigate to `http://localhost:4200/`

Put your client live on the internet with an nginx reverse proxy

It's easy just add lines like this to your nginx vhost conf in /etc/nginx/sites-available/

#We don't need no stinky web logs (optional)
access_log  /dev/null;
error_log /dev/null;

#proxy part (required)
location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:4200;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}

If you choose to run on Apache2, then edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf to be as follows:
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride ALL
    Require all denied
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share>
        AllowOverride ALL
        Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride ALL
        Require all granted
</Directory>

You will also need to add a .htaccess file to your root web server directory (typically /var/www/html) that contains the line:

ErrorDocument 404 /index.html

You should also of course install SSL with a free certificate via https://letsencrypt.org or purchase your own.

How does BlockChan work

BlockChan works by storing content and references on the Ripple blockchain while storing actual images on IPFS referenced via hash. https://blockchan.ca/about
