PrivateInvoice

Private Invoice is a P2P based invoicing system where anyone can create their own Node or join a managed Node in order to manage their own keys, assets, and financial records.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 WARNING!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Private Invoice is still a work in progress, it does not include best practices for security. Also the data format is still subject to change which will require data to be migrated. If you create a Node, only use it for testing with fake data.

Screenshots

Create Invoice, send to member on a different node.

Make payment on invoice.

See transaction details.

Install Instructions

Install instructions are provided for Ubuntu 20.04 x86_64 server as root. The application can be run on other Linux distrubutions, but no instructions are currently provided.

• Install Nodejs
• Install Ganache
• Install IPFS
• Install MariaDB
• Install Redis

Install Nodejs

# curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
# source ~/.bashrc
# nvm install 16
# nvm use 16
# npm i pm2 -g

Install Ganache

# tar -xzf go-ipfs_v0.12.0_linux-amd64.tar.gz && cd go-ipfs
# bash install.sh
# sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=2500000

# ipfs init
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl enable ipfs
# systemctl start ipfs

Install MariaDB

# apt update
# apt install mariadb-server
# systemctl start mariadb.service
# systemctl enable mariadb.service
# mysql_secure_installation
--- Start Prompt ---
Set root password? [Y/n] n
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y

--- End Prompt ---
# mysql
--- Start MariaDB ---
> CREATE DATABASE PrivateInvoice_dev;
> CREATE DATABASE PrivateInvoice_client;
> CREATE DATABASE PrivateInvoice_supply;
> CREATE USER pi_user@% IDENTIFIED BY `raspberry`;
> GRANT ALL ON PrivateInvoice_dev TO pi_user@%;
> GRANT ALL ON PrivateInvoice_client TO pi_user@%;
> GRANT ALL ON PrivateInvoice_supply TO pi_user@%;
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES
--- End MariaDB ---

Install Redis

# apt install redis-server
# systemctl start redis.service
# systemctl enable redis.service

Clone and Run

The next step is to clone and run the Private Invoice. Most of the server configurations can be found in config.json for currency format and database connections.

We use .env files to allow for testing multiple instances on a single server for testing interactions between Nodes.

# cd /opt
# git clone https://github.com/WebServiceDevelopment/PrivateInvoice.git
# cd PrivateInvoice
# npm i
# cd model
# mysql PrivateInvoice_dev < PrivateInvoice.sql
# mysql PrivateInvoice_client < PrivateInvoice.sql
# mysql PrivateInvoice_supply < PrivateInvoice.sql
# cd ..
# vim .env
--- Create File ---
SERVER_PORT=3000
DATABASE_NAME=PrivateInvoice_dev
--- EOF ---
# vim client.env
--- Create File ---
SERVER_PORT=3001
DATABASE_NAME=PrivateInvoice_client
--- EOF ---
# vim supply.env
--- Create File ---
SERVER_PORT=3002
DATABASE_NAME=PrivateInvoice_supply
--- EOF ---

From there, each of the three instances can be run with a script with:

# npm run dev
# npm num dev:client
# npm num dev:supply

Or start with pm2 to run in the background

# pm2 start npm -- dev
# pm2 start npm -- dev:client
# pm2 start npm -- dev:supply

From there the application will be available on port 3000, 3001, 3002
