Smartcash Mempool Statistics

SmartCash Mempool Statistics

Installation: Part 1

Create user with sudo rights called mempool.

Install smarcashd by PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:smartcash/ppa -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install smartcashd -y
smartcash-cli stop

Edit the config file with nano and press control x to save and exit. nano smartcash.conf daemon=1 rpcuser=mempool rpcpassword=mempool smartcashd

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/smartcash/mempool

Edit mempool.sh to adapt paths as necessary, especially the path to smartcash-cli. Add a smartcash.conf with rpcuser/rpcpassword settings to /home/mempool/.smartcash, to be able to use smartcash-cli. You can test your setup by running

smartcash-cli getmempoolinfo

Install mysql and create a database. Then you can test your configuration by running mempool.sh. If you don't want to use mysql, comment out the four lines starting with open(SQL at the end of mempool-sql.pl. In that case zooming and auto-update in the webinterface won't work.

sudo apt install mysql_server
sudo mysql_secure_installation
sudo mysql -u root -p <<EOF
create database smart_mempool;
grant all privileges on smart_mempool.* TO 'mempool'@'localhost' identified by 'mempool';
grant select on smart_mempool.* TO 'www'@'localhost' identified by 'mempool';
EOF
cat > ~/.my.cnf <<EOF
[client]
user=mempool
password=mempool
EOF
cd mempool
perl mempool-create.pl | mysql smart_mempool
./mempool.sh

You are almost ready now. Check that everything works. There should be a file mempool.log containing one line of statistics. There should be newly created files in /dev/shm/mempool-smart that contain the dynamic data the webserver should serve. If everything looks fine add the following crontab entry (using crontab -e):

* * * * * /home/mempool/mempool/mempool.sh 

Installation: Part 2 - Web service

Install a web server, copy files to web directory, and link data.

sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites_enabled/000-default.conf
  document path=/var/www/mempool
(control x to save and quit)
sudo mkdir /var/www/mempool
sudo cp -r $HOME/mempool/web/* /var/www/html/mempool/
ln -s /dev/shm/mempool-smart/*.js /var/www/html/mempool/queue/

Restart webserver for changes to take effect. sudo systemctl restart apache2.service

Start on startup or with crontab with @reboot

service mysql start
smartcashd
