• Expand setup instructions and move to top
• Fix incorrect markdown
• Hi Marc

I'm running postgres 10. I believe 11 works too. @rawrmaan did you say you ran into issues running on postgres 12?

And do we require any particular rust minimum version?

[madninja]

I think we need to fix #138 and adjust the GOOGLE api key instructions?

[jamiew]

@madninja I pretended like that is fixed already and the key is optional

I'm currently trying to install on..

• linode
• ubuntu 20
• postgres 12 (latest version at this time)

Feedback points: 1) README wasn't clear that I needed to rename .env.dev to .env (otherwise the make start failed) 2) Also that postgres seemed to need postgis installed, as per sudo apt-get install postgis (might want to add a short section on installing postgres including a mention to mapping to a spare volume as the blockchain grows - I was told it could be 200GB - hence I created a 512G drive for this)

Did https://github.com/helium/blockchain-etl/pull/141 address these? @jamiew makes his PRs confusing

[stephendrobinson]

141 addresses all the issues - thanks!

Sweet. FYI I'm up to about 400GB of space utilized for postgres (version10), and that is recently VACUUM'd

Up to about 35GB for blockchain ledger data

Quite unrelated to this issue, but I hear ya

@madninja README still out of date without this PR

does it need fixes based on the other PR? hard to track given all the noise today

[madninja]

no it does not.. looks good

[jamiew]

No, each PR is self-contained
