Practical overview
When it fits
Use Gloomberg when you can configure its node and Redis requirements and want a terminal or integrated web view of live Ethereum NFT activity, optionally focused on a wallet.
Who it is for
- NFT watchers who want a live view of Ethereum sales and mints.
- Developers or technically experienced users able to configure an Ethereum WebSocket connection and Redis.
Documented uses
- Watch a live stream of Ethereum NFT sales and mints.
- Filter the live monitor using a wallet argument.
- Run the monitor from a Linux AMD64 binary or in Docker.
Requirements & limits
- Requires an Ethereum node WebSocket endpoint and a Redis instance.
- The README warns that node providers may impose limits or costs because the application makes many calls.
- The project is explicitly a work in progress and proof of concept, with incomplete documentation.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Run the live monitor from a Linux AMD64 binary
Start Gloomberg's live Ethereum NFT stream with a wallet filter using the README's Linux binary example.
Before you start
- A Linux AMD64 environment.
- An Ethereum node WebSocket endpoint.
- A Redis instance.
- A wallet identifier to pass to the live command.
Steps
Use the README's release lookup and download commands to retrieve and extract the latest Linux AMD64 binary into /usr/local/bin.
Run
gloomberg live -e "" -w ""with the endpoint and wallet values.
Expected outcome
The documented command starts the live monitor with a wallet argument.
Guide limitations
- The README describes the project as a work in progress and proof of concept, with incomplete documentation.
- The README warns that frequent node calls may quickly hit provider limits or become costly.
- The wallet filter's full supported range is not specified.
Start the live monitor in Docker
Use the documented Docker example to start Gloomberg with an Ethereum endpoint and wallet.
Before you start
- Docker.
- An Ethereum node WebSocket endpoint.
- A Redis instance.
- A wallet identifier for the GLOOMBERG_WALLETS environment variable.
Steps
Set
GLOOMBERG_ENDPOINTSto the Ethereum WebSocket endpoint.Set
GLOOMBERG_WALLETSto the wallet identifier.Run the README's
ghcr.io/benleb/gloomberg:latest livecontainer command.
Expected outcome
The documented container command starts the live monitor with the configured endpoint and wallet.
Guide limitations
- Redis is separately required by the README.
- The project is a work in progress and proof of concept, and its documentation is incomplete.
- The README warns that frequent node calls may quickly hit provider limits or become costly.
