This is the backend service which runs along with [multi-geth](https://github.com/ethereumsocial/multi-geth/releases) and tracks the network status, fetches information through JSON-RPC and connects through WebSockets to [stats.ethereumsocial.kr](https://stats.ethereumsocial.kr) to feed information. For full install instructions please read the [wiki](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Network-Status).


## Prerequisite

* geth(multi-geth) or Parity
* node
* npm


## Setup

Install multi-geth node

```bash
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential unzip
$ wget https://github.com/ethereumsocial/multi-geth/releases/download/v1.8.4/multi-geth-linux-v1.8.4.zip
$ unzip multi-geth-linux-v1.8.4
$ sudo mv geth /usr/local/bin/geth
$ sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/ethereumsocial.service
```

Copy the following service settings

```bash
[Unit]
Description=Ethereum Social
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/geth --social --cache=1024 --maxpeers=125 --rpc --rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 --rpcport 8545
KillMode=process
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
User=<your-user-name>

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```

Start the multi-geth node

```bash
$ sudo systemctl start ethereumsocial
$ sudo systemctl enable ethereumsocial
```

Now install the node.js with etsc-net-intelligence-api

```bash
$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
$ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
$ git clone https://github.com/ethereumsocial/etsc-net-intelligence-api
$ cd etsc-net-intelligence-api
$ npm install
$ sudo npm install -g pm2
```

## Configuration

Configure the app modifying [app.json](app.json). Ensure that geth node is running on the backgruond with --rpc enabled.

```json
"env":
	{
		"NODE_ENV"        : "production", // tell the client we're in production environment
		"RPC_HOST"        : "127.0.0.1", // eth JSON-RPC host
		"RPC_PORT"        : "8545", // eth JSON-RPC port
		"LISTENING_PORT"  : "30303", // eth listening port (only used for display)
		"INSTANCE_NAME"   : "", // whatever you wish to name your node
		"CONTACT_DETAILS" : "", // add your contact details here if you wish (email/skype)
		"WS_SERVER"       : "wss://stats.ethereumsocial.kr", // path to eth-netstats WebSockets api server
		"WS_SECRET"       : "NewEthereumSocial", // WebSockets api server secret used for login
		"VERBOSITY"       : 2 // Set the verbosity (0 = silent, 1 = error, warn, 2 = error, warn, info, success, 3 = all logs)
	}
```

## Run

Run it using pm2:

```bash
pm2 start app.json
```
