BentoBox

Microservice. Polls a parity or go-ethereum JSON/RPC endpoint. On new block header it will extract certain specified data.

Quick Start

If you don't have a PSQL at hand, run one using docker, with the instructions in the below section "Run and Configure a PostgreSQL using docker"

make bentobox && ./build/bin/bentobox

Run and Configure a PostgreSQL DB using docker

Create this custom container (logs all queries)

make custom-psql-image

Then, just use the command, always from this repository root

make run-psql

Will mount the dir $HOME/.psql and have a DB for you.

You need to setup your database if it is the first time using it. Use the instructions below.

Setup the database

You can have your database already, or you can use docker as above. This script will set you up with your database.

Get in a console able to use psql and Run

psql -U postgres

TIP: If you are running PSQL with docker, to access bash inside the container do

docker exec -ti <psql-container> /bin/bash

Once inside you create your database with

CREATE DATABASE bentobox;
\q

Now you need to restore the schema. Do from the comamnd line

psql -U postgres bentobox < database.sql

You are good to go.
