How to run Guru Network Indexer

Quickstart

How it works

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Docker

• Docker Compose

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Environment Variables

   • Copy the env.sample file and rename it to .env.

   • Edit the .env file to set the following variables according to your needs:

     • CHAIN_ID: The ID of the blockchain network you are indexing.

     • DATABASE: The name of the database that will be created in ClickHouse.

     • PROVIDER_URL: The URL of your RPC provider, such as a public node, Infura, or a local node.

   • See Environment Variables

2. Start Indexing

   • Open your terminal and navigate to the directory containing your docker-compose.yml file.

   • Run the command:

     docker-compose up

   • This command will start indexing the Ethereum blockchain into ClickHouse.

3. Verify Database Content

   • Once the indexing process begins, you can inspect the database to see the tables created for each entity type and a few service-related tables.

Running certain command

Install Ethereum ETL:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

⚠️ If you want to use Clickhouse as a destination, make sure to apply migrations:

CLICKHOUSE_URL=clickhouse+http://default:@localhost:8123/ethereum alembic upgrade head
