Polkascan Open-Source Application
git clone https://github.com/polkascan/polkascan-os.git
cd polkascan-os
git tag
git checkout v0.x.x
git submodule update --init --recursive
docker-compose -p kusama -f docker-compose.kusama-quick.yml up --build
git clone https://github.com/polkascan/polkascan-os.git
cd polkascan-os
git tag
git checkout v0.x.x
git submodule update --init --recursive
docker-compose -p kusama -f docker-compose.kusama-public.yml up -d mysql
docker-compose -p kusama -f docker-compose.kusama-public.yml up --build
The following steps will run a full Polkascan-stack that harvests blocks from a new local network.
git clone https://github.com/polkascan/polkascan-os.git
cd polkascan-os
git tag
git checkout v0.x.x
git submodule update --init --recursive
docker-compose -p kusama -f docker-compose.kusama-full.yml up -d mysql
docker-compose -p kusama -f docker-compose.kusama-full.yml up --build
- Polkascan Explorer GUI: http://127.0.0.1:8080
- Monitor harvester progress: http://127.0.0.1:8080/kusama/harvester/admin
- Harvester Task Monitor: http://127.0.0.1:5555
- Polkadot JS Apps: http://127.0.0.1:8081
- Polkadot: Use
docker-compose.polkadot-quick.yml
,docker-compose.polkadot-public.yml
anddocker-compose.polkadot-full.yml
- Substrate Node Template (https://github.com/substrate-developer-hub/substrate-node-template): Use
docker-compose.substrate-node-template.yml
- Modify
harvester/app/type_registry/substrate-node-template.json
to match the introduced types of the custom chain - Truncate
runtime
andruntime_*
tables on database - Start harvester
- Check http://127.0.0.1:8080/node-template/runtime-type if all type are now correctly supported
- Monitor http://127.0.0.1:8080/node-template/harvester/admin if blocks are being processed and try to restart by pressing "Process blocks in harvester queue" if process is interupted.
Use the following commands with caution to cleanup your Docker environment.
docker system prune
docker system prune -a
docker volume prune
When certain block are not being processed or no blocks at all then most likely there is a missing or invalid type definition in the type registry.
Some steps to check:
- The Substrate node should be started in archive mode (
--pruning archive
) - Be sure to regularly update, also the Git submodules:
git submodule update --init --recursive
for latest version of py-scale-codec - Check which blocks are not being processed and try to restart manually at: http://127.0.0.1:8080/<NETWORK_NAME>/harvester/admin
- Check Celery queue for more details about failing blocks: http://127.0.0.1:5555/tasks?state=FAILURE
- Check and match types in ./harvester/app/type_registry/custom_types.json with added types in Substrate
You can also dive into Python to pinpoint which types are failing to decode:
import json
from scalecodec.type_registry import load_type_registry_file
from substrateinterface import SubstrateInterface
substrate = SubstrateInterface(
url='ws://127.0.0.1:9944',
type_registry_preset='substrate-node-template',
type_registry=load_type_registry_file('harvester/app/type_registry/custom_types.json'),
)
block_hash = substrate.get_block_hash(block_id=3899710)
extrinsics = substrate.get_block_extrinsics(block_hash=block_hash)
print('Extrinsincs:', json.dumps([e.value for e in extrinsics], indent=4))
events = substrate.get_events(block_hash)
print("Events:", json.dumps([e.value for e in events], indent=4))
