The Colored Coins Block-Explorer

Requirements

1. Bitcoin Core that runs as an RPC server with -txindex=1
2. MongoDB

Configuring

On a first run, copy config/properties.sample.conf as config/properties.conf and edit the configuration parameters according to your needs.

Through environment variables it's possible to override configuration parameters. Set NODE_ENV to production or development to change the environment in which cexplorer should run.

Installing and running

To install and run the service, execute:

$ npm install
$ NODE_ENV=production npm start

A Dockerfile based on Debian Stretch is available. To build and run a docker image of cexplorer, run:

$ docker build -f docker/Dockerfile -t cexplorer .
$ docker run --rm -p 8081:8081 --env NODE_ENV=production \
  -v $(pwd)/config/properties.conf:/srv/app/cexplorer/config/properties.conf \
