monero.fail

Monero node tracker.

Stores Monero (and Wownero) nodes for clearnet, Tor, and I2P.

Setup

Tools you will need:

Docker # apt-get install docker.io
docker-compose # apt-get install docker-compose
python3 (linux os will have this)
python3-venv # apt-get install python3-venv

Development

I have provided a Makefile with some helpful stuff...make sure to install make to use it.

The map portion of the service requires the GeoLite2 db...the make setup command fetches a copy via wget.

# install python virtual environment and install application dependencies
make setup

# default configs work out of the box, modify .env if needed
# setup .env
cp env-example .env
vim .env

# run services (tor, i2p, etc)
make up

# run development server
make dev

# access at http://127.0.0.1:5000

Background Tasks

There are 3 things that need to run in the background:

validating nodes that have been added
checking existing node health
scraping peer lists

I accomplish this via crontab and some management scripts. Ensure the i2p and tor containers are running (or just on the host) so that requests can be proxied.

docker-compose up -d
./manage.sh validate
./manage.sh check
./manage.sh get_peers

Production

For production, update SERVER_NAME in .env to your production URL/domain. Use manage.sh (or provided Makefile) to serve the Flask process using Gunicorn.

./manage.sh prod

Runs the Gunicorn process on port 4000. Setup a web server to proxy requests to that port.

Kill production Gunicorn with make kill.
