Updates happens multiple times, normally 2 to 3, even if we consider a state without includes. On states with multiple includes, it could easily get approximately 10 updates being ran. This behavior leads to unnecessary network bandwidth being spent and more time to run the installation state. When the connection is slow and not using the cacher, such as torified connections on Whonix, the installation can occurs much faster. Adding external repositories has to be done prior to update to ensure it is also fetched. Fixes: https://github.com/ben-grande/qusal/issues/29 |

sys-electrumx
ElectrumX in Qubes OS.
Table of Contents
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.
- Top
sudo qubesctl top.enable sys-electrumx
sudo qubesctl --targets=tpl-electrumx-builder,tpl-sys-electrumx,disp-electrumx-builder,sys-electrumx state.apply
sudo qubesctl top.disable sys-electrumx
- State
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-electrumx.create
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-electrumx-builder state.apply sys-electrumx.install-builder
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-sys-electrumx state.apply sys-electrumx.install
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=disp-electrumx-builder state.apply sys-electrumx.configure-builder
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=sys-electrumx state.apply sys-electrumx.configure
Usage
You may customize ElectrumX by writing to the file
~/.electrumx/conf.d/electrumx.conf.local.
If you are not using sys-bitcoin, 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.
