You can start Orion providing a config file:
orion foo.conf
Where foo.conf
is a file in the current directory.
The only required properties are nodeurl
and nodeport
. Although, it is recommended to set at least the
following properties:
property name | description |
---|---|
nodeurl | The URL to advertise to other nodes (reachable by them) |
nodeport | The local port to listen on for Orion nodes |
nodenetworkinterface | The network interface to bind to for Orion nodes |
clienturl | The URL to advertise to the Ethereum client (reachable by it) |
clientport | The local port to listen on for a client |
clientnetworkinterface | The network interface to bind to for a client node |
workdir | The folder to put stuff in (default: .) |
othernodes | "Boot nodes" to connect to to discover the network |
publickeys | Public keys hosted by this node |
privatekeys | Private keys hosted by this node (in corresponding order) |
Example config file:
nodeurl = "http://127.0.0.1:9001/"
nodeport = 9001
nodenetworkinterface = "127.0.0.1"
clienturl = "http://127.0.0.1:9002/"
clientport = 9002
clientnetworkinterface = "127.0.0.1"
workdir = "data"
othernodes = ["http://127.0.0.1:9000/"]
publickeys = ["foo.pub"]
privatekeys = ["foo.key"]
You can check all the available properties in the
sample.conf
file.
By default, Orion relies on leveldb to store information.
storage = "leveldb:oriondb"
Orion offers persistence using MapDB.
storage = "mapdb:oriondb"
Orion supports working with relational databases.
- Add the SQL driver jar to the lib folder of the Orion installation
- Create a table in your database:
Database | Create statement |
---|---|
MySQL | create table store(key varbinary, value varbinary, primary key(key)) |
PostgresQL | create table store(key bytea, value bytea, primary key(key)) |
- Set storage to:
storage = "sql:jdbc:postgresql://localhost/oriondb"
