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
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-electrumx.appmenus
- 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
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-electrumx.appmenus
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.
