This repo is a generic version of http://simpledoge.com and http://simplevert.com. This includes all Celery tasks for handling the PowerPool stratum mining servers output.

Simple Doge makes use of PostgreSQL and Redis, as well as RabbitMQ if you'll be running a test powerpool instance for end to end testing. Setup is designed to run on Ubuntu 12.04. If you're doing development you'll also want to install Node since Grunt is used.

apt-get install redis-server postgresql-contrib-9.1 postgresql-9.1 postgresql-server-dev-9.1 
# to install rabbitmq as well
apt-get install rabbitmq-server
# add the ppa that includes latest version of nodejs. Ubuntu repos are really out of date
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get install nodejs

Now you'll want to setup a Python virtual enviroment to run the application in. This isn't stricly necessary, but not using virtualenv can cause all kinds of headache, so it's highly recommended. You'll want to setup virtualenvwrapper to make this easier.

# make a new virtual enviroment for simpledoge
mkvirtualenv sd
# clone the source code repo
git clone https://github.com/ericecook/simpledoge.git
cd simpledoge
pip install -e .
# install all python dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
# install nodejs dependencies for grunt
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli  # setup grunt binary globally
npm install  # setup all the grunt libs local to the project

Initialize an empty PostgreSQL database for simpledoge.

# creates a new user with password testing, creates the database, enabled
# contrib extensions
./util/reset_db.sh
# creates the database schema for simpledoge
python manage.py init_db

Now everything should be ready for running the server. This project uses Grunt in development to watch for file changes and reload the server.

grunt watch

This should successfully start the development server if all is well. If not, taking a look at the uwsgi log can help.

tail -f websever.log

It's also Usually I have this running in a possible that gunicorn is failing to start completely, in which case you can run it by hand to see what's going wrong.

gunicorn simplecoin.wsgi_entry:app -p gunicorn.pid -b 0.0.0.0:9400 --access-logfile gunicorn.log

If you're running powerpool as well you'll need to start a celery worker to process the tasks (found shares/blocks/stats etc) that it generates. You can run the worker like this:

python simplecoin/celery_entry.py -l INFO --beat
