psl-lending

Service API to lend resources using Ethereum to log events

Config

• Create files src/blockchain/ABI.txt & src/blockchain/contractAddress.txt:

touch src/blockchain/ABI.txt
touch src/blockchain/contractAddress.txt

• Deploy the contract to peer (if not already done) & paste the ABI and the contract address in files created above.

  • ABI and contract address change after every deployment. If not updated accordingly, events will not be logged.

• Update src/config/config.json with values as per your configuration. Make sure you change the gethUrl to the IP where your geth client is running.

• Create a Firebase project and update src/config/firebase-admin.json.

---

Deploying via Docker

• Install docker and docker-compose based on your platform.

• Set values for ADMIN_EMAIL and ADMIN_EMAIL_PASSWORD in Dockerfile. If no envt variables, will use values in src/config/config.json

• Run docker compose:

docker-compose up --build -d

• App will run on port 3000 by default.

• Running via docker will set environment to production. So, production config values from src/config/config.json will be used.

  • Environment can be changed to development in the Dockerfile.

---

Deploying normally

• Install node v6.10.2 and npm v4.4.4.

• Set environment to production:

export NODE_ENV=production

• Install gulp and dependencies:

npm install -g gulp-cli
npm install

• Build and start:

gulp
npm start

• App will run on port 3000 by default.
