GUI-only mode #275

Open cofob opened 2 years ago

cofob commented 2 years ago
Original feature proposal from the AUR package page

Now in order to run the GUI mode you have to

  1. Generate a new config with different ports and specify the desired config from the terminal
  2. Stop the daemon and start a new one, but in GUI mode from the terminal

To solve this problem, I suggest to add a new flag --gui which will disable DNS server and will select a random port for P2P connections. This will make startup easier and the .desktop file will finally start to make sense.

What should we do with blockchain.db? It can't be used from two separate processes :(

We can save a new copy in the ~/.local/alfis/blockchain.db folder.

Or split gui and backend and use web browser to connect to daemon that does work with blockchain.
