Mempool can be self-hosted on a wide variety of your own hardware, ranging from a simple one-click installation on a Raspberry Pi full-node distro all the way to a robust production instance on a powerful FreeBSD server.
|
||||
|
||||
We support the following installation methods, ranked in order from simple to advanced:
|
||||
|
||||
1) [One-click installation on full-node distros](#one-click-installation)
|
||||
2) [Docker installation on Linux using docker-compose](./docker)
|
||||
3) [Manual installation on Linux or FreeBSD](#manual-installation)
|
||||
4) [Production installation on a powerful FreeBSD server](./production)
|
||||
|
||||
This doc offers install notes on the one-click method and manual install method. Follow the links above for install notes on Docker and production installations.
|
||||
**Most people should use a one-click install method.** Other install methods are meant for developers and others with experience managing servers.

## One-Click Installation
|
||||
@ -29,167 +22,12 @@ Mempool can be conveniently installed on the following full-node distros:
|
||||
- [myNode](https://github.com/mynodebtc/mynode)
|
||||
- [Start9](https://github.com/Start9Labs/embassy-os)
|
||||
|
||||
<a id="manual-installation"></a>
|
||||
## Manual Installation
|
||||
**We highly recommend you deploy your own Mempool instance this way.** No matter which option you pick, you'll be able to get your own fully-sovereign instance of Mempool up quickly without needing to fiddle with any settings.
|
||||
|
||||
The following instructions are for a manual installation on Linux or FreeBSD. You may need to change file and directory paths to match your OS.
|
||||
## Advanced Installation Methods
|
||||
|
||||
You will need [Bitcoin Core](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin), [Electrum Server](https://github.com/romanz/electrs), [Node.js](https://github.com/nodejs/node), [MariaDB](https://github.com/mariadb/server), and [Nginx](https://github.com/nginx/nginx). Below, we walk through how to configure each of these.
|
||||
Mempool can be installed in other ways too, but we only recommend doing so if you're a developer, have experience managing servers, or otherwise know what you're doing.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Get Latest Mempool Release
|
||||
|
||||
Clone the Mempool repo, and checkout the latest release tag:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/mempool/mempool
|
||||
cd mempool
|
||||
latestrelease=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/mempool/mempool/releases/latest|grep tag_name|head -1|cut -d '"' -f4)
|
||||
git checkout $latestrelease
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Configure Bitcoin Core
|
||||
|
||||
Enable RPC and txindex in `bitcoin.conf`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
rpcuser=mempool
|
||||
rpcpassword=mempool
|
||||
txindex=1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Get & Configure MySQL
|
||||
|
||||
Install MariaDB from your OS package manager:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Debian, Ubuntu, etc.
|
||||
apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client
|
||||
|
||||
# macOS
|
||||
brew install mariadb
|
||||
mysql.server start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Create a database and grant privileges:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
MariaDB [(none)]> drop database mempool;
|
||||
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
|
||||
|
||||
MariaDB [(none)]> create database mempool;
|
||||
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
|
||||
|
||||
MariaDB [(none)]> grant all privileges on mempool.* to 'mempool'@'%' identified by 'mempool';
|
||||
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Build Mempool Backend
|
||||
|
||||
Install Mempool dependencies with npm and build the backend:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd backend
|
||||
npm install --prod
|
||||
npm run build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In the `backend` folder, make a copy of the sample config:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp mempool-config.sample.json mempool-config.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Edit `mempool-config.json` with your Bitcoin Core node RPC credentials:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
{
|
||||
"MEMPOOL": {
|
||||
"NETWORK": "mainnet",
|
||||
"BACKEND": "electrum",
|
||||
"HTTP_PORT": 8999
|
||||
},
|
||||
"CORE_RPC": {
|
||||
"HOST": "127.0.0.1",
|
||||
"PORT": 8332,
|
||||
"USERNAME": "mempool",
|
||||
"PASSWORD": "mempool"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"ELECTRUM": {
|
||||
"HOST": "127.0.0.1",
|
||||
"PORT": 50002,
|
||||
"TLS_ENABLED": true
|
||||
},
|
||||
"DATABASE": {
|
||||
"ENABLED": true,
|
||||
"HOST": "127.0.0.1",
|
||||
"PORT": 3306,
|
||||
"USERNAME": "mempool",
|
||||
"PASSWORD": "mempool",
|
||||
"DATABASE": "mempool"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Start the backend:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When it's running, you should see output like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||

||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Build Mempool Frontend
|
||||
|
||||
Install the Mempool dependencies with npm and build the frontend:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd frontend
|
||||
npm install --prod
|
||||
npm run build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Install the output into the nginx webroot folder:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo rsync -av --delete dist/ /var/www/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. `nginx` + `certbot`
|
||||
|
||||
Install the supplied `nginx.conf` and `nginx-mempool.conf` in `/etc/nginx`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# install nginx and certbot
|
||||
apt-get install -y nginx python3-certbot-nginx
|
||||
|
||||
# install the mempool configuration for nginx
|
||||
cp nginx.conf nginx-mempool.conf /etc/nginx/
|
||||
|
||||
# replace example.com with your domain name
|
||||
certbot --nginx -d example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If everything went well, you should see the beautiful mempool :grin:
|
||||
|
||||
If you get stuck on "loading blocks", this means the websocket can't connect. Check your nginx proxy setup, firewalls, etc. and open an issue if you need help.

|
||||
- See the [`backend/`](./backend/) and [`frontend/`](./frontend/) directories for manual install instructions oriented for developers and small-scale deployments.
|

- See the [`production/`](./production/) directory for guidance on setting up a more serious Mempool instance designed for high performance at scale.
