BHD-Burst-Proxy
======


Prerequisites

- nodejs >= 10, see here how to install it

Getting started

If you are unsure on how to proceed check this Getting started guide.

Setup

$3

``bash
npm i -g bhd-burst-proxy
bhd-burst-proxy
`

$3

A docker image based on alpine linux is built automatically on every commit to master as well as on tags.

`bash
latest : Latest master build of the proxy
1.3.0, 1.3, 1 : Version 1.3.0 of the proxy
`

To run the proxy on the fly use:

`bash
docker run --volume /path/to/conf/dir:/conf -p 12345:12345 --name bhd-burst-proxy --rm felixbrucker/bhd-burst-proxy
`

Or set it up via compose as a service:

`bash
version: '2'
services:
app:
image: felixbrucker/bhd-burst-proxy
restart: always
volumes:
- /path/to/conf/dir:/conf
ports:
- "12345:12345"
`

Be sure to edit the config.yaml to listen on 0.0.0.0 for docker.

$3

`bash
git clone https://github.com/felixbrucker/bhd-burst-proxy
cd bhd-burst-proxy
npm ci
npm start
`

----

This will download the proxy, install its dependencies and setup the default config with some example upstream configs.
Edit the created config.yaml file so that your desired proxy/proxies and upstream(s) are configured. More on the valid config options here.
Make sure you do not break the yaml format or the file can not be read correctly.

Updating the proxy

$3


When installed via npm just run npm update -g bhd-burst-proxy

$3

When using docker just pull the latest image or tag you want to update to and replace the running container.
This can be automated via watchtower.

$3

When installed as a git repository just git pull.
If the changes have new dependencies required one needs to execute npm ci again as well before starting the proxy.

CLI parameters

The proxy can be setup with a custom config and db file path, see --help for more info:

`bash
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
--config The custom config.yaml file path
--db The custom db.sqlite file path
--live Show a live dashboard with stats
--update-historical-stats Update all historical stats
-h, --help output usage information
`

Config examples

Some config examples can be found in the wiki

Running the proxy in production

I personally use pm2 to manage my nodejs based apps. An example ecosystem.config.js has been included. Just cp ecosystem.config.js.dist ecosystem.config.js.
Then just use pm2 start ecosystem.config.js.
To startup pm2 on boot use pm2 save to save the current running config and pm2 startup to startup pm2 on boot.
This will only work when installed via git.

Alternatively docker (tag) based deployments with automatic updates through watchtower can be used as well.




Per miner maxScanTime

To allow fine granular control each miner which supports urls instead of simple ip:port can subscribe to their own maxScanTime. This was tested with scavenger only.
To do so, just append the preferred maxScanTime in seconds to the url, like so: http://localhost:12345/burst-bhd/25. That would result in that miner setting its maxScanTime to 25 seconds.

Stats

An embedded web ui is available on the listenAddr address and port. Alternatively some basic live stats are available via the --live cli parameter.

Heroku

One can deploy the proxy to Heroku, though you'll want the config to contain the ignoreMinerIP` config option per proxy because Heroku assigns each request a different internal ip based on the load balancer route the request took.
