Welcome to the CLN community app repo. We're building a dApp that will interact with the smart contracts of the CLN ecosystem. For now, we have a small api server that communicates with an IPFS node (because exposing an IPFS node might be unsafe) and replicates the data into mongodb.
copy the confige file and start the docker compose:
cp .env.dist .env
docker network create cln-community
docker-compose up -d
the .env.dist is the config template while .env is the actual file used for environment variables. The .env is gitignored so fill free to tweak it.
Then open localhost:9000 in your browser. The IPFS node needs time to sync, so for the first time part of the data may not be fetched on time. Refresh the browser if this is the case.
For the best experience, stop the client docker container and start it natively as described here.
Start a mongodb daemon with default settings.
Start a IPFS daemon with default settings.
ipfs daemon
Then define following environment variables for the server's shell
export COMMUNITY_IPFS_HOST=127.0.0.1
export COMMUNITY_IPFS_PORT=5001
export COMMUNITY_IPFS_PROTOCOL=http
You can skip this step if you will use MeteMask or Mist to browser the DApp.
Otherwise, run an ethereum node, for example:
geth --testnet --rpc --rpcapi="db,eth,net,web3,personal,web3"
Then export its HTTP enpoint as COMMUNITY_WEB3_PROVIDER variable:
export COMMUNITY_WEB3_PROVIDER=http://127.0.0.1:8545
cd to project's directory, then:
cd server
npm install
npm run dev
Load the relevant environment variables from the .env file.
cd to project's directory, then:
cd client
npm install
npm start
If your browser has an MetaMask extension, that should be enought.
Take a look into server/config directory.
