Insight v0.5 - How to

gistfile1.txt

- Install local dashcore version. 
- Create dash.conf file in .dashcore with data allowing to be requested by RPC (server=1, rpcport,... - You can use exemple [REF1] below)
- Start dashd by simply call for ./bin/dashd

- Then in another folder (insight?) do a git clone https://github.com/dashevo/bitcore-node-dash -b skip-dash-download
- cd bitcore-node-dash
- npm install
- npm install insight-api-dash --S
- npm install insight-ui-dash --S

- Create a bitcore-node-dash conf file (touch bitcore-node-dash.json) that would the network, port, services and connect data (You can use exemple [REF2] below).
- chmod +x bin/bitcore-node-dash
- ./bin/bitcore-node-dash start

[REF1] dash.conf

whitelist=0.0.0.0/0

{
  "network": "livenet",
  "port": 3001,
  "services": [
    "bitcoind",
    "insight-api-dash",
    "insight-ui-dash",
    "web"
  ],
  "servicesConfig": {
    "bitcoind": {
      "connect": [{
        "rpchost": "127.0.0.1",
        "rpcport": 9998,
        "rpcuser": "dash",
        "rpcpassword": "local321",
        "zmqpubrawtx": "tcp://127.0.0.1:28332"
      }]
    }
  }
}

Nota : 

Allowing rpc from outside can be not what you want. Instead you will prefer to set : 

whitelist=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

Troubles : 

- If you do not see any blocks (waiting for blocks... in insight-ui), chance are that you will need to reindex dashd.
- If you can't npm install bitcore-node-dash on Windows, edit package.json and remove preinstall line.

Hi ,

I have my own coin , i need to setup insight UI , so what configurations need to be done in bitcore-node to sync with mycoin detals insted of bitcoind...

this is somrthing i am trying to do but not workin.

Install bitcore on your server (I use bitcore-node, but it's essentially the same)
Go into the bitcore-node.json file, alter it to point at your new coin core instead of the default bitcoind that gets downloaded upon bitcore installs.
Install insight-api. Change the bitcore-lib/lib/networks.js to be compatible with your new coin.
[optional] Install insight-ui
Get a copy of copay
Compile as-is to make sure all works.
Go into the networks.js file in the copay code (exact same format as the one in the bitcore-lib) and change it.

any help will be appriciated.

Hi guys,
I have got the error from the step installing dashcore local.

• I used this command: npm install -g bitcore-dash
  ... and got an error like this: sh: 1:

./scripts/download: Permission denied

Hi, I am able to run insight-api and insight-ui. But I have 2 questions:

1. How to install & integrate dash-payment-processor?
   • I have tried npm install dash-payment-processor --S
   • The service cannot be accessed using ipaddress:3001/dash-payment-processor/createReceiver
   • It seems insight-api take over (refer picture below).
2. How to run bitcore-node-dash start as background service? Because every time SSH version ended/expired, the services stopped.

Hi! run bitcore-node-dash start it throw me this error, what should i do?

Hi, I've dockerized these instructions here: https://hub.docker.com/r/figassis/docker-bitcore

Just run
