Catenis Colored Coins Node Server

This is the implementation of the Catenis Colored Coins node server application, which is based on the Colored Coins Full-Node application from ColoredCoins.org.

Deployment

System requirements

The following is required to properly install and run the Catenis Colored Coins node server:

• Node.js (see recommended version in .nvmrc file)
• A Redis database
• Bitcoin Core node server (bitcoind)

Deploying the application

To prepare the application for deployment, issue the command:

npm run predeploy

A tarball named c3-node-server-<version>.tgz is written to the dist subdirectory.

Copy the tarball to the target host and extract its contents, renaming the top-level directory of the extracted contents from package to C3NodeSvr.

tar -xzf c3-node-server-<version>.tgz && mv package C3NodeSvr

Then change to the top-level directory of the extracted contents (i.e., cd C3NodeSvr), and issue the following commands:

nvm use
npm i

• redisHost - Host name/IP address assigned to Redis database
• redisPort - IP port assigned to Redis database (Redis default: 6379)
• bitcoinHost - Host name/IP address assigned to Bitcoin Core's JSON-RPC connections
• bitcoinPort - IP port assigned to Bitcoin Core's JSON-RPC connections
