Lisk Service Blockchain Coordinator

The Blockchain Coordinator service is primarily responsible to verify the index readiness. It regularly monitors the index completion status and schedules jobs to index the missing or newly generated blocks as soon as they're available.

Note that this installation instruction is required only for development activities. For a regular Lisk Service user the official documentation is sufficient to run an instance. The global readme file present in the root directory covers running all the microservices simultaneously.

Installation

Prerequisites

Please refer to the README in the project root directory.

Installation

Clone the Lisk Service Repository:

git clone https://github.com/LiskHQ/lisk-service.git # clone repository
cd lisk-service/services/blockchain-coordinator # move into blockchain-coordinator microservice directory
yarn install --frozen-lockfile # install required Node.js dependencies

Configuration

To configure the different microservices, there are several environment variables the user can define to customize the configurations.

A list of the most commonly used environment variables is presented below:

  • SERVICE_BROKER: URL of the microservice message broker (NATS or Redis).
  • SERVICE_MESSAGE_QUEUE_REDIS: URL of the job queue to schedule the indexing jobs (Redis).
  • JOB_INTERVAL_INDEX_MISSING_BLOCKS: Job run interval to index missing blocks. By default, it is set to 0.
  • JOB_SCHEDULE_INDEX_MISSING_BLOCKS: Job run cron schedule to index missing blocks. By default, it is set to run every 5 minutes (*/5 * * * *).

Note: interval takes priority over schedule and must be greater than 0 to be valid for all the moleculer job configurations.

Management

Start

cd lisk-service/services/blockchain-coordinator # move into the root directory of the blockchain-coordinator microservice
yarn start # start the microservice with running nodes locally

Use the framework/bin/moleculer_client.js and framework/bin/moleculer_subscribe.js clients to test particular service endpoints.

If you want to run a production variant of the service, use Docker or PM2. This will automatically recover the process when it fails.

Stop

Press Ctrl+C in the terminal to stop the process.
