Installing, Starting & Stopping The Indexer
The transaction indexer comes as a docker cluster which runs locally.
Docker should be installed and running.
Clone the Mailchain repository to your .mailchain/mailchain folder:
git clone https://github.com/mailchain/mailchain.git ~/.mailchain/mailchaincd ~/.mailchain/mailchain
The indexer is preconfigured for 3 networks:
Network | Command |
Edgeware Mainnet |
|
Edgeware Testnet (beresheet) |
|
Edgeware Local (development) |
|
Select the network and run the appropriate make command (e.g. make edgeware-mainnet). This will download or update the required docker containers.
NOTE: If working in local mode, you can access the preconfigured development accounts here if you need to transfer a balance to accounts you configured in Setting Up > Add Account.
If successful, the output will be similar to the following:
