ubuntu 18.04+
Minimum recommended specs:
32GB memory + 8 cpu core
Expandable storage to accommodate growth or use an external db.
It is safe to run the ortelius stack on multiple machines with a shared DB.
Docker is configured to write data files into /var/lib/ortelius/
The api listens on port 8080.
Other ports could be exposed on the machine, and appropriate security should be setup to protect your machine.

| Processed | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | unprocessed transactions |
| 1 | processed transactions |
As items are consumed into the indexer the count of processed = 0 transactions decreases. NOTE It can take a while for tx_pool records to appear on a fresh install.
There are 2 ortelius services api and indexer. There will be an avalanchego, and mysql container.

Ortelius requires an updated mysql compatible DB. This will work with aurora in mysql mode.
note DB needs to be up and migrated before use.
docker run --volume .../github.com/ava-labs/ortelius/docker/my.cnf:/etc/mysql/my.cnf --network host -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -e MYSQL_DATABASE=ortelius mysql:8.0.26
The standard mysql defaults can cause issues, please configure the customizations here
docker run --volume .../github.com/ava-labs/ortelius/services/db/migrations:/migrations --network host "migrate/migrate:v4.14.1" -path=/migrations/ -database "mysql://root:password@tcp(mysql:3306)/ortelius" up
Update the docker params as needed to match the user/password/host/database as appropriate.
Update config with the correct dsn in your local github repo.
The full Ortelius pipeline requires the following services. This guide will not cover their installation but will discuss key configuration settings.
- Avalanche.go is the gateway to the Avalanche network
- MySQL powers the index
The IPCs for the chains you want to consume must be available. This can be done by starting the Avalanche.go process with the --index-enabled flag.
see: avalanchego configs
The indexer requires that a MySQL compatible database be available. The migrations can be found in the repo's services/db/migrations directory and can be applied with golang-migrate, example:
migrate -source file://services/db/migrations -database "mysql://root:password@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/ortelius" up
Ortelius can be built from source into a single binary or a Docker image. A public Docker image is also available on Docker Hub.
Example: docker run --rm avaplatform/ortelius --help
Ortelius is a collection of services. The full stack consists of the Indexer, and API which can all be started from the single binary:
ortelius stream indexer -c path/to/config.json
ortelius api -c path/to/config.json
As Avalanche.go bootstraps the Producer will send all events to DB, the indexer will index, and the API will make them available. You can test your setup API.
If you performed a standard install the avalanchego database will be located at: /var/lib/ortelius/avalanche/mainnet/.
