Practical overview

When it fits

Consider it when studying or evaluating the documented exchange architecture and setup sequence; the repository says this version is abandoned and points to a newer project.

Who it is for

  • Developers examining open-source exchange software and its documented server components.
  • Teams assessing a self-hosted exchange codebase and a separate web trading interface.
  • Contributors reviewing or adapting the repository, with the stated abandonment status in mind.

Documented uses

  • Inspect a Go exchange application described as including a matching engine and order book.
  • Prepare the documented server application using MySQL, Kafka and Redis.
  • Install or build the separately documented web frontend.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and described as open source. Its README marks this version abandoned.

  • Server and web frontend are separate repositories with separate setup steps.
  • The server instructions require MySQL row-format binary logging, Kafka and Redis.
  • The repository points to a newer version and labels this project abandoned.

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 the documented exchange server

Follow the README’s server setup sequence through launching the application.

Before you start

  • Go build tooling
  • MySQL with BINLOG in ROW format enabled
  • Kafka
  • Redis
  • The Gitbitex Spot repository

Steps

  1. Clone the gitbitex-spot repository.

  2. Create a database and ensure MySQL BINLOG uses ROW format.

  3. Execute ddl.sql and modify conf.json.

  4. Run go build, then run ./gitbitex-spot.

Expected outcome

The documented sequence ends with launching the Gitbitex Spot server application.

Guide limitations

Set up the separate web frontend

Install and build the separately documented Gitbitex web project.

Before you start

  • Node.js/npm environment
  • The gitbitex-web repository

Steps

  1. Clone the gitbitex-web repository.

  2. Run npm install.

  3. Run npm start for the documented start step, or run npm run build for a production build.

Expected outcome

The README documents starting the web project or building its production bundle.

Guide limitations

  • The frontend is a separate repository from the exchange server.
  • The instructions do not document how to connect the frontend to a server instance.
