Table of Contents
Description
Setup an offline Electrs (Electrum Server) qube named "sys-electrs", 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-electrs-builder" will be created, based on Whonix-Workstation, it will server to install and verify Electrs. After the verification succeeds, files are copied to the template "tpl-sys-electrs". 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
qubesctl top.enable sys-electrs
qubesctl --targets=tpl-electrs-builder,tpl-sys-electrs,disp-electrs-builder,sys-electrs state.apply
qubesctl top.disable sys-electrs
- State
qubesctl state.apply sys-electrs.create
qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-electrs-builder state.apply sys-electrs.install-builder
qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-sys-electrs state.apply sys-electrs.install
qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=disp-electrs-builder state.apply sys-electrs.configure-builder
qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=sys-electrs state.apply sys-electrs.configure
Usage
You may customize Electrs by writing to the file
~/.electrs/conf.d/electrs.conf.local.
If you are not using sys-bitcoin, you will need to
add the RPC Authentication cookie to the qube sys-electrs in the file
~/.bitcoin/.cookie. Make sure there is no new line at the end of the cookie
file, else Electrs will fail to start.
