Configuration of Etherscan (Esplora) to point out Bitcoin Bitcoind servers on Ubuntu
As you have two servers in progress, one for the Complete Bitcoin Blockchain (Bitcoind Daemon V0.18.1) and a website of a single page for Esplora (Etherscan), you are probably looking to integrate these two services in a stream unified work. Unfortunately, Esplora is based on Bitcoind data to operate, which is synchronized with the main blockchain.
To configure Etherscan (Esplora) to point to your Bitcoin Bitcoind servers, follow these steps:
Step 1: update the Esplora configuration
Open the Config.json file in the directory/ usr / local / etherscan / of the two Ubuntu server instances. This file contains parameters for Esplora.
For example:
`JSON
{
"IP": "127.0.0.1",
"Port": 8545,
"Blockchain": {
"server": "https: // bitcoind: 8332",
"Rpcuse": "your_username",
"RPCPASSWORD": "Your_password"
}
}
'
Replacehttp: // Localhost: 8546 ‘by the URL of your Bitcoind demon (V0.18.1) in order to synchronize the data.
Step 2: update the Bitcoind parameters on Ubuntu
Update the / etc / Bitcoin / Bitcoin.conf file to point to the IP address and the correct port for your Bitcoind server:
`bash
sudo nano /etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
'
Add the following lines:
Markdown
Listen ["0.0.0.0", "127.0.0.1"]
Server ["https: // your_bitcoind_ip: 8332", "http: // localhost: 8546"]
'
Replaceyour_bitcoind_ipby your IPCOind Server IP address.
Step 3: Restart Esplora and Bitcoind
Restart theEsploraservice and the Bitcoin-Daemon 'service on the two Ubuntu servers:
bash
Sudo Systemctl restart Esplora
Sudo Systemctl restart Bitcoin
'
Check the configuration
After restarting, you should see data from your Bitcoin blockchain displayed in the Esplora interface.
troubleshooting advice:
- If Esplora still does not display data, check theConfig.json` file for any error or inconsistency.
- Check that Bitcoind is running and is synchronized with the main blockchain to the two server instances.
- Make sure that the IP address used by ESPLORA in the configuration file corresponds to that of your Bitcoin servers.
By following these steps, you should be able to configure Etherscan (ESPLORA) to point to your Bitcoin Bitcoind servers, allowing a unified workflow and more efficient data management.
