blob-storage

Repository for BLOB storage (archive and serve data)

Prerequisites

  • Docker engine up and running.
  • Go installed on your system.

Configuration and Setup

Setting up MySQL

  1. Start MySQL:

    Navigate to the docker-compose directory and start the MySQL service:

    cd ./docker-compose
    docker-compose up -d

    This command starts your MySQL instance as defined in your docker-compose.yml file.

  2. Migrate Database Schema:

    Navigate to the migrations directory to apply database migrations:

    cd ./migrations
    goose mysql "<user>:<password>@tcp(localhost:3306)/blobs" status
    goose mysql "<user>:<password>@tcp(localhost:3306)/blobs" up

    These commands apply migrations to the blobs database.

Environment Configuration

Ensure your .default.indexer.env and .default.server.env files are configured with the correct database credentials, host, and any other necessary environment variables.

Running the Application

  1. Start the Indexer:

    With the environment file configured, start the indexer:

    ENV_FILE=.default.indexer.env go run cmd/main.go indexer

    This starts the app from the latest block height by default. Adjust the STARTING_BLOCK_ID in the environment file if needed.

  2. Start the Server:

    Similarly, start the server:

    ENV_FILE=.default.server.env go run cmd/main.go server

Testing and Usage

When the DB, blob-catcher and server are running, the blob-catcher is outputting the blobHash to the terminal (with the networkName variable too, though it is not written into the DB). Use that blobHash (including the 0x) in

  1. Querying Blob Data via HTTP Request:

    To retrieve blob data, you can execute a curl command. This allows for querying multiple blobHashes simultaneously, separated by commas. A single request can yield an array of results:

    curl -X GET "http://localhost:3282/getBlob?blobHash=0x01a2a1cdc7ad221934061642a79a760776a013d0e6fa1a1c6b642ace009c372a,0xWRONG_HASH"

    Expected Output:

    {"data":[{"blob":"0x123...00","kzg_commitment":"0xabd68b406920aa74b83cf19655f1179d373b5a8cba21b126b2c18baf2096c8eb9ab7116a89b375546a3c30038485939e"}, {"blob":"NOT_FOUND","kzg_commitment":"NOT_FOUND"}]}
  2. Backtesting with a Python Script:

    This script facilitates querying the database directly based on a specified blob_hash. Modify the blob_hash variable in the script to match the hash you wish to query.

    To run the script:

    python3 python_query.py

Todos

What is still missing is:

  • small refinements and DevOps (prod-grade DB with credentials, proper containerization)
