# Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer
Currently available Monero blockchain explorers have several limitations which are of
special importance to privacy-oriented users:
- they use JavaScript,
- have images which might be used for [cookieless tracking](http://lucb1e.com/rp/cookielesscookies/),
- track users activities through google analytics,
- are closed sourced,
- are not available as hidden services,
- do not support Monero testnet nor stagenet networks,
- have limited JSON API.
In this example, these limitations are addressed by development of
an Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer. The example not only shows how to use
Monero C++ libraries, but also demonstrates how to use:
- [crow](https://github.com/ipkn/crow) - C++ micro web framework
- [mstch](https://github.com/no1msd/mstch) - C++ {{mustache}} templates
- [json](https://github.com/nlohmann/json) - JSON for Modern C++
- [fmt](https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt) - Small, safe and fast string formatting library

## Development branch
Current development branch:
- https://github.com/moneroexamples/onion-monero-blockchain-explorer/tree/devel
Note: `devel` branch of the explorer follows `master` branch of the monero!
## Compilation on Ubuntu 18.04/20.04
#### Monero download and compilation
To download and compile recent Monero follow instructions
in the following link:
https://github.com/moneroexamples/monero-compilation/blob/master/README.md
##### Compile and run the explorer
Once the Monero compiles, the explorer can be downloaded and compiled
as follows:
```bash
# go to home folder if still in ~/monero
cd ~
# download the source code
git clone https://github.com/moneroexamples/onion-monero-blockchain-explorer.git
# enter the downloaded sourced code folder
cd onion-monero-blockchain-explorer
# make a build folder and enter it
mkdir build && cd build
# create the makefile
cmake ..
# compile
make
```
To run it:
```
./xmrblocks
```
By default it will look for blockchain in its default location i.e., `~/.bitmonero/lmdb`.
You can use `-b` option if its in different location.
For example:
```bash
./xmrblocks -b /home/mwo/non-default-monero-location/lmdb/
```
Example output:
```bash
[mwo@arch onion-monero-blockchain-explorer]$ ./xmrblocks
2016-May-28 10:04:49.160280 Blockchain initialized. last block: 1056761, d0.h0.m12.s47 time ago, current difficulty: 1517857750
(2016-05-28 02:04:49) [INFO ] Crow/0.1 server is running, local port 8081
```
Go to your browser: http://127.0.0.1:8081
## Compiling and running with Docker
The explorer can also be compiled using `docker build` as follows:
```
# build using all CPU cores
docker build --no-cache -t xmrblocks .
# alternatively, specify number of cores to use (e.g. 2)
docker build --no-cache --build-arg NPROC=2 -t xmrblocks .
```
- The build needs 3 GB space.
- The final container image is 179MB.
To run it, mount the monero blockchain onto the container as volume.
```
# either run in foreground
docker run -it -v <path-to-monero-blockckain-on-the-host>:/home/monero/.bitmonero -p 8081:8081 xmrblocks
# or in background
docker run -it -d -v <path-to-monero-blockchain-on-the-host>:/home/monero/.bitmonero -p 8081:8081 xmrblocks
```
Example output:
```
docker run --rm -it -v /mnt/w7/bitmonero:/home/monero/.bitmonero xmrblocks
Staring in non-ssl mode
(2020-04-20 16:20:00) [INFO ] Crow/0.1 server is running at 0.0.0.0:8081 using 1 threads
```
### Docker Compose example

docker-compose build
```
Or build and run in one step via:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/moneroexamples/onion-monero-blockchain-explorer.git
docker-compose up -d
```
When running via Docker, please use something like [Traefik](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/) or [enable SSL](#enable-ssl-https) to secure communications.

```
Make sure to always start the portion of command line flags with `./xmrblocks` and set any flags you would like after that, as shown above.
## Enable Monero emission
Obtaining current Monero emission amount is not straight forward. Thus, by default it is
disabled. To enable it use `--enable-emission-monitor` flag, e.g.,
```bash
xmrblocks --enable-emission-monitor
```
This flag will enable emission monitoring thread. When started, the thread
will initially scan the entire blockchain, and calculate the cumulative emission based on each block.
Since it is a separate thread, the explorer will work as usual during this time.
Every 10000 blocks, the thread will save current emission in a file, by default,
in `~/.bitmonero/lmdb/emission_amount.txt`. For testnet or stagenet networks,
it is `~/.bitmonero/testnet/lmdb/emission_amount.txt` or `~/.bitmonero/stagenet/lmdb/emission_amount.txt`. This file is used so that we don't
need to rescan entire blockchain whenever the explorer is restarted. When the
explorer restarts, the thread will first check if `~/.bitmonero/lmdb/emission_amount.txt`
is present, read its values, and continue from there if possible. Subsequently, only the initial
use of the thread is time consuming. Once the thread scans the entire blockchain, it updates
the emission amount using new blocks as they come. Since the explorer writes this file, there can
be only one instance of it running for mainnet, testnet and stagenet. Thus, for example, you can't have
two explorers for mainnet
running at the same time, as they will be trying to write and read the same file at the same time,
leading to unexpected results. Off course having one instance for mainnet and one instance for testnet
is fine, as they write to different files.
When the emission monitor is enabled, information about current emission of coinbase and fees is
displayed on the front page, e.g., :
```
Monero emission (fees) is 14485540.430 (52545.373) as of 1313448 block
```
The values given, can be checked using Monero daemon's `print_coinbase_tx_sum` command.
For example, for the above example: `print_coinbase_tx_sum 0 1313449`.
To disable the monitor, simply restart the explorer without `--enable-emission-monitor` flag.
## Enable SSL (https)
By default, the explorer does not use ssl. But it has such a functionality.
As an example, you can generate your own ssl certificates as follows:
```bash
cd /tmp # example folder
openssl genrsa -out server.key 1024
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
```
Having the `crt` and `key` files, run `xmrblocks` in the following way:
```bash
./xmrblocks --ssl-crt-file=/tmp/server.crt --ssl-key-file=/tmp/server.key
```
Note: Because we generated our own certificate, modern browsers will complain
about it as they can't verify the signatures against any third party. So probably
for any practical use need to have properly issued ssl certificates.
## JSON API
The explorer has JSON api. For the API, it uses conventions defined by [JSend](https://labs.omniti.com/labs/jsend).
By default the api is disabled. To enable it, use `--enable-json-api` flag, e.g.,
```
./xmrblocks --enable-json-api
```

curl -w "\n" -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/transaction/6093260dbe79fd6277694d14789dc8718f1bd54457df8bab338c2efa3bb0f03d"

For `txprove=1` we use to prove to the recipient that we sent them founds.
For this, we use recipient's address and our tx private key as a viewkey value,
i.e., `viewkey=<tx_private_key>`
Checking outputs:
```bash
# we use here official Monero project's donation address as an example
curl -w "\n" -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/outputs?txhash=17049bc5f2d9fbca1ce8dae443bbbbed2fc02f1ee003ffdd0571996905faa831&address=44AFFq5kSiGBoZ4NMDwYtN18obc8AemS33DBLWs3H7otXft3XjrpDtQGv7SqSsaBYBb98uNbr2VBBEt7f2wfn3RVGQBEP3A&viewkey=f359631075708155cc3d92a32b75a7d02a5dcf27756707b47a2b31b21c389501&txprove=0"

Proving transfer:
We use recipient's address (i.e. not our address from which we sent xmr to recipient).
For the viewkey, we use `tx_private_key` (although the GET variable is still called `viewkey`) that we obtained by sending this txs.
```bash
# this is for testnet transaction
curl -w "\n" -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:8082/api/outputs?txhash=94782a8c0aa8d8768afa0c040ef0544b63eb5148ca971a024ac402cad313d3b3&address=9wUf8UcPUtb2huK7RphBw5PFCyKosKxqtGxbcKBDnzTCPrdNfJjLjtuht87zhTgsffCB21qmjxjj18Pw7cBnRctcKHrUB7N&viewkey=e94b5bfc599d2f741d6f07e3ab2a83f915e96fb374dfb2cd3dbe730e34ecb40b&txprove=1"

api number is store as `uint32_t`. In this case `65536` represents
major version 1 and minor version 0.
In JavaScript to get these numbers, one can do as follows:
```javascript
var api_major = response.data.api >> 16;
var api_minor = response.data.api & 0xffff;
```
