Ordi Labs Live

Ordinals mempool viewer. View inscriptions before they're inscribed!

Setup

We use Docker to containerize all micro-services and you just need to run a few recipes (see below) to get your devbox up and running. When your systems prerequisites are already met, usually in under 15 minutes.

prerequisites

• Rust ^1.68
• nodejs ^18.15
• just
• git
• fast internet, decent cpu

first installation

git clone https://github.com/ordilabs/live live--ordilabs
cd live--ordilabs
just install

inscription watching

Run a local instance of Ordi Live after starting bitcoin core:

just watch

Open a browser http:://127.0.0.1:3000 to new inscriptions hitting your mempool in real time

developing

All micro-services are managed with 2 simple commands

just run-services
# just clean-services

Once they are running, you can start developing.

cp .env.sample .env # and uncomment the relevant lines
just watch # for changes, recompile rust/css, refresh frontend

additional commands

Once up and running you can perform dev tasks

just open # all .local domains in a browser

# inscribe-1-punk (into the mempool) then mine-1-block
just i1p m1b

# create temporary tunnel to expose your .local on the internet
just run-tunnel

see more commands with just -l

run live through Tor

socat can be used as a relay between the standard web and a hidden service on the Tor network.

• Add to .env

  
  CORE_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
  CORE_PORT=8332

Replace {onion-address} + {onion-port} with your data

TOR_ADDRESS={onion-address}.onion TOR_PORT={onion-port}

- Then you have two options:

   - Option A: Using Docker and `socator`

   ```bash
   just socator

• Option B: Using socat command (currently tested on Linux only). Note: socat needs to be install on your machine.

  just socat

known issues

Linux

Issue by running just run-services command:

Error response from daemon: invalid IP address in add-host: ""
error: Recipe `run-services` failed on line 34 with exit code 1

Quick fix (manually):

• In just file override run-services as follow

[linux]
run-services:
  # if someone has a better solution, be my guest
  cd docker && docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.monkey-patch-linux.yml up 

• Get you local IP address (on Ubuntu Settings -> Network -> Details -> IPv4 Address) and replace GATEWAY_IPV4 with that IP in docker/docker-compose.monkey-patch-linux.yml

version: "3.7"

services:

  nginx-proxy:
    extra_hosts:
      # Replace {IP-ADDRESS} with your local IP address
      # e.g. "host.docker.internal.:192.168.1.212" 
      - "host.docker.internal.:{IP-ADDRESS}"
