## Description
Setup an offline Electrumx (Electrum Server) qube named "sys-electrumx",
connected to your own full node running on "sys-bitcoin" to index the
blockchain to allow for efficient query of the history of arbitrary addresses.
A disposable qube "disp-electrumx-builder" will be created, based on
Whonix-Workstation, it will server to install and verify ElectrumX. After the
verification succeeds, files are copied to the template "tpl-sys-electrumx".
This method was chosen so the server can be always offline.
At least `200GB` of disk space is required.
## Installation
This formula depends on [sys-bitcoin](../sys-bitcoin/README.md).
- Top
```sh
qubesctl top.enable sys-electrumx
qubesctl --targets=tpl-electrumx-builder,tpl-sys-electrumx,disp-electrumx-builder,sys-electrumx state.apply
qubesctl top.disable sys-electrumx
```
- State
<!-- pkg:begin:post-install -->
```sh
qubesctl state.apply sys-electrumx.create
qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-electrumx-builder state.apply sys-electrumx.install-builder
qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-sys-electrumx state.apply sys-electrumx.install
qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=disp-electrumx-builder state.apply sys-electrumx.configure-builder
qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=sys-electrumx state.apply sys-electrumx.configure
```
<!-- pkg:end:post-install -->
## Usage
You may customize ElectrumX by writing to the file
`~/.electrumx/conf.d/electrumx.conf.local`.
If you are not using [sys-bitcoin](../sys-bitcoin/README.md), you will need to
add the RPC Authentication cookie to the qube `sys-electrumx` in the file
`~/.bitcoin/.cookie`. Make sure there is no new line at the end of the cookie
file, else ElectrumX will fail to start.
You may want to use the command `electrumx-cli` to send commands to the
ElectrumX server.
