Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use the dashboard when you want an explorer centered on on-chain metrics. Use the repository instructions when assessing or preparing a self-hosted development setup with a frontend and indexer.

Who it is for

  • People seeking a dashboard view of on-chain validator, mining-pool, token or network metrics.
  • Developers exploring a self-hosted blockchain explorer and its documented Docker development setup.

Documented uses

  • View indexed on-chain metrics for validators, mining pools, tokens and networks.
  • Set up the frontend and indexer with the documented Docker Compose development environment.
  • Review a manual build-and-start workflow using Node.js, Yarn and PM2.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • The project separates a frontend application from an indexer service.
  • The Docker Compose development environment includes PostgreSQL, Redis and automatic database migrations.
  • The manual workflow lists Linux package prerequisites and uses Yarn and PM2.
  • The repository mentions Bitcoin and Ethereum as ecosystems.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Prepare a Docker Compose development environment

Configure the documented services and start the Docker-based development environment.

Before you start

  • Docker and Docker Compose
  • A cloned Validator Info repository
  • Values for the database and frontend/indexer environment variables

Steps

  1. Copy .env.example to .env.

  2. Set POSTGRES_DB, POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_PASSWORD, PUBLIC_URL, REDIS_HOST and VALIDATORS_APP_TOKEN in .env.

  3. Run the command below from the repository.

    Documented command
    docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d --build

Expected outcome

The documented environment starts PostgreSQL, Redis, a migrations service, the frontend and the indexer.

Guide limitations

  • The instructions describe a development environment and do not establish production deployment steps.
  • The environment requires Docker Compose and configured variables.
