Ethereum Network Stats with POA and POW support

This is a visual interface for tracking proof-of-work ("mainnet") and proof-of-authority ("testnet") network status. It uses WebSockets to receive stats from running nodes and output them through an angular interface. It is the front-end implementation for ethstats-client.

Proof-of-Authority

• Demo: https://stats.goerli.net/
• Demo: https://kotti.goerli.net/

Prerequisite

• node
• npm

Installation

Make sure you have node.js and npm installed.

Clone the repository and install the dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/goerli/ethstats-server
cd ethstats-server
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
npm install
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli

Build

In order to build the static files you have to run grunt tasks which will generate dist directories containing the js and css files, fonts and images.

grunt poa

To build the static files for a network other than Ethereum copy and change src/js/defaultConfig.js and run the following command.

grunt poa --configPath="src/js/someOtherConfig.js"

Configure

Define some setting to environment file (.env)

PORT=3030
WS_SECRET=beta-net-stats-has-a-secret

Run (Test)

Start a node process and pass the websocket secret to it.

WS_SECRET="asdf" npm start

Run (Production)

Start a node process and pass the websocket secret to it.

pm2 start npm --name "beta-stats-server" -- start

Find the interface at http://localhost:3030

Proof-of-Work (Legacy)

• Demo: https://mordor.dash.fault.dev/

Same as above, just run the pow build task in Grunt.

grunt pow
WS_SECRET="asdf" npm start

:-)

PM2

PM2 is a Production Process Manager for Node.js applications with a built-in Load Balancer.

            Start and Daemonize any application:
            $ pm2 start app.js

            Load Balance 4 instances of api.js:
            $ pm2 start api.js -i 4

            Monitor in production:
            $ pm2 monitor

            Make pm2 auto-boot at server restart:
            $ pm2 startup
