This page provides a guide for developers to setup and install the RIF Notifier project.
The first requirement is an RSK node which can be run using the JAR file method. Use the latest RSKj version available and have it sync with mainnet.
This node should be accessible through localhost:4444. For more information on how to achieve this, please consult the Setup node on Java section on the Developer Portal.
The latest version of the git client can be installed through:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
Note: for docker installation the following steps are not required.
The latest version of the mysql-server database can be installed through:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mysql-server
Then, run the installer by executing:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
This will take you through a series of prompts where you can configure your MySQL installation.
You can verify the MySQL service is running by executing:
sudo service mysql status
You can verify the port used by the MySQL is of the expected value 3306 by executing:
sudo netstat -tlnp | grep mysql
netstat can be installed through sudo apt install net-tools.
The latest version of maven can be installed through:
sudo apt install maven
Ensure prerequisites are met.
bin/install.sh <database root user> <database root password> <notifier_user password>
The third parameter is the password for user notifier_user which will be created by this script
Run the command cd rif-notifier and open config.json file from the rif-notifier folder. Set the dbpassword property to the password you just entered in previous step for notifier_user_password
rif-notifier, but replace it with your own.git clone https://github.com/rsksmart/rif-notifier rif-notifier
Stay on the master branch.
. Create the RIF Notifier database and configure its access. This is done by first opening the MySQL prompt by executing:
sudo mysql
Then, pick a name for the RIF Notifier database to be used. From now on this will be called rif_notifier, but replace it with your own.
Create the schema by entering:
CREATE DATABASE rif_notifier;
in the mysql prompt.
Now pick a username and password for the database to be accessed with. From now on these will be called notifier_user and notifier_db_password, but replace them with your own.
To have these set up in the MySQL database first do:
CREATE USER 'notifier_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'notifier_db_password';
in the mysql prompt. Then grant this user all permissions on the schema by doing:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON rif_notifier.* TO 'notifier_user'@'localhost';
and then exit the mysql terminal by entering exit.
Restart the MySQL service by executing:
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
git clone https://github.com/rsksmart/rif-notifier rif-notifier and switch to the rif-notifier directory by using command cd rif-notifier
config-docker.json to update the rskendpoint to point to the rsk blockchain endpoint. In case you are running locally, set the endpoint to http://host.docker.internal:4444 Update other required properties in the same file, see config.json
subscription-plan.json under src/main/resources to provide the subscription plan details. See create subscription plans to change or add new subscription plans. To use the example provided, leave the file unchanged.docker-compose up --build This command will build the mysql, and rif-notifier docker images and run it.curl -k http://localhost:8080/getSubscriptionPlans. And that’s it, congrats! you should see a response with the json of subscription plans. In case the response is empty, use docker-compose restart command to restart the container.docker-compose stop and to start use docker-compose start
RIF Notifier uses eth_getLogs rpc to get the information about events, therefore the RSK node must respond in a reasonable
timeframe (< 30s)
Since the eth_getLogs result is cached, it will take a long time for this call to finish the first time it is executed after the RSK node is started. This will happen each time the RSK node boots.
After this, each call should be finished in a reasonable time.
Use this curl to test the eth_getLogs response:
curl -X POST http://localhost:4444 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getLogs","params":[{"address":"0xde2D53e8d0E673A4b1D9054cE83091777F2fd8Ce","fromBlock":"0x0","toBlock":"latest"}],"id":74}'
First modify the config.json file to setup the rsk blockchain and database properties. Note: the comments should be removed in the actual json. The below are example values for each json property.
{
"serverport":"8080", // server port to start the server on
"dbhost":"localhost", //database host name
"dbname":"rif_notifier", //database name
"dbuser":"notifier_user", //database user with privileges
"dbpassword":"##password##", //database password
"rskendpoint":"http://localhost:7545", //rsk blockchain endpoint
"blockconfirmationcount":"20", // number of blocks to wait for confirmation
"smartcontractaddress":"0xC2Cd3835d36510dc065d0f8991785DAA70a601a4", // smart contract address for payments
"tokennetworkregistry":"0xFEC354973ca22697BC5Cd1E7F372609574e2AfcA",
"multichaincontract":"0xFEC354973ca22697BC5Cd1E7F372609574e2AfcA",
"provideraddress":"0x882bf23c4a7E73cA96AF14CACfA2CC006F6781A9", // provider address
"providerprivatekey":"b1ed36c7f7e02edeaacfd7b485cc857e3051e94a73195a6c96c88dd74d22744a", //provider privatekey without hex prefix
"notificationpreferences":"API,EMAIL", // supported notifications comma separated
"acceptedcurrencies":"RIF,RBTC" // supported currencies comma separated
}
To run the RIF Notifier start a terminal in rif-notifier directory and run the script bin/subscriptionplans.sh to create the subscription plans. Refer to create subscription plans and update subscription plans
Run the script bin/run.sh to start rif-notifier.
