Explorer Backend

Prerequisites​

Download Application File​

Download file explorer-backend-x.x.x.jar from Github release.

Create the database:​

  1. Start the postgresql service.
  2. Login to the PostgreSQL shell with the default postgres user: 
    psql postgres # or `psql -U postgres` depending on your OS
  3. Ensure that the postgres role exists, and if not, create it. List all roles: 
    postgres=# \du
    Create postgres role: 
    postgres=# CREATE ROLE postgres WITH LOGIN;
  4. Then, create the database: 
    postgres=# CREATE DATABASE explorer;

Start your explorer-backend​

java -jar explorer-backend-x.x.x.jar

Your explorer-backend will start to sync with the full node. It might take long the first time

Start from a snapshot​

To reduce the first syncing time, you can restore one of our snapshot. Snapshots are available here.

Download the latest one, extract it, and run:

psql explorer < explorer-db-xxx.pg_dump

Please note that the explorer database must have been created before and be empty.
