'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
}
}The first time you run this software, you will need to do some database preparation and setup. You will need to run the following commands first:
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuserThen you can run the website with
python manage.py runserverThe website will be available at http://127.0.0.1:8000. The administration panel is available at http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin
The first time you run this, you will need to login to the admin panel and add some nodes, one block for each node, and the initial fork state.
Run the website with
python manage.py runserverAny changes made to any of the file in this project will be automatically updated and reflected in the website by refreshing the web page.
To update information from the nodes, you will need to specify RPC_USER and RPC_PASSWORD
environment variables. These should match the rpcuser and rpcpassword that you have specified
for your nodes. THe rpcuser and rpcpassword must be the same for all nodes. To update
the database, run the following command:
python manage.py node_updatesThe updater command's logic is defined in monitor/node_updates.py.
