Access the Storj network via simple REST API.
Download and install vagrant for your platform.
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Storj/bridge.git
cd bridge
Start up the vagrant VM:
vagrant up
NOTE: the first time you vagrant up it will take a while as vagrant downloads the base VM and provisions it.
SSH into the vm and start the server (set the NODE_ENV environment variable to specify the config):
vagrant ssh
NODE_ENV=develop storj-bridge
It is also possible to run the node server on your host but still wish to use the VM for mongo and rabbitmq. You may want to so this so you can remotely debug using an IDE running on the host or connect other host-borne tools to these services, for example.
To do this you just need to uncomment lines 33 and 36 of the Vagrantfile to forward the mongo and rabbitmq ports to your host:
# Uncomment to forward mongo
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 27017, host: 27017
# Uncomment to forward rabbitmq
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 5672, host: 5672If you're going to start the bridge web server on your host you should comment out line 30 so that your host port is free.
# Default bridge server HTTP port
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 6382, host: 6382After making any changes to the Vagrantfile you can apply them with a
vagrant reloadNOTE: don't manually change any VM settings via your provider's interface as they will be overriden by the vagrantfile and/or may cause conflicts.
Install MongoDB, Git and Wget:
apt-get install mongodb git wget
Install NVM, Node.js and NPM:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.30.1/install.sh | bash
source ~/.profile
nvm install 4.2.3
Clone the repository, install dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/Storj/bridge.git
cd bridge
npm install && npm link
Start the server (set the NODE_ENV environment variable to specify the config):
NODE_ENV=production
This will use the configuration file located at ~/.storj-bridge/config/develop.json.
For local testing and development, you can run Storj Bridge and a farmer to seed
it using the included development script:
cd /path/to/storj-bridge
npm run develop
Install utilizing automated script
https://github.com/Storj/storj-automation/archive/master.zip
The default configuration can be modified as needed. It is located at
%USERPROFILE%\.storj-bridge\config
Edit devel in notepad/wordpad
For more information, see the documentation.
Recommended config changes
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| storage.name | null | The name of the database that Bridge will use. It should be changed as to not conflict with running tests. |
| storage.user | null | The username for your database. You should set a username and password unless your DB instance is only listening locally. |
| storage.pass | null | Same as above. |
| network.minions.privkey | null | This should be the same across all of your minions and any instances of the Bridge behind a loadbalancer talking to the same database and queue. |
| network.minions.address | 127.0.0.1 | The public IP address or a DNS record that resolves to the public IP address of the Bridge server |
| server.host | 127.0.0.1 | If your public IP is not bound to an interface on your host, you can set this to the IP bound to the interface with access to the internet or the network that Bridge traffic will traval accross. If you set this to a non public IP, you will also need to be sure to set the server.public.host. |
| server.public.host | 127.0.0.1 | The hosts public IP address or a DNS record that resolves to the public IP address of the Bridge server. You only need to set this if server.host is set to a non public accessible IP address. |
The following is a sanatized version of the config that we use to run our Bridge servers. You can find the defaults in the config.js lib.
