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

{
  "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've dockerized these instructions here: https://hub.docker.com/r/figassis/docker-bitcore

Just run
docker run -d --restart=always --name dash -p 3001:3001 -p 18332:18332 -v /datadir:/root/.dashcore figassis/docker-bitcore:dash
