UPDATES

1. Darkcoin added
2. Updates

walletserver

Chef (and Vagrant) code to deploy and control crypto-currency wallets.

This code is aimed to be part of a larger crypto exchange. The current target is to:

1. Deploy coin(s) and monitoring system on wallet server.
2. Deploy backbone.js restful interface to coin RPC.
3. Setup business logic and tracking/logging for the restful service.

Init sub-modules first, update, then use Vagrant for testing. See the sample Vagrantfle in walletserver cookbook directory for vbox source and example.

Recipes

     "walletserver"
     "walletserver::install_gperf"
     "walletserver::install_openssl"
     "walletserver::install_leveldb"
     "walletserver::install_protobuf"
     "walletserver::install_bdb"
     "walletserver::install_python3"
     "walletserver::install_boost"
     "coins::setup_bitcoin"

Not all recipes are needed by all coins. The usual critical ones (for Bitcoin or Litecoin) are:

     "walletserver"
     "walletserver::install_gperf"
     "walletserver::install_openssl"
     "walletserver::install_leveldb"
     "walletserver::install_boost"
     "walletserver::install_bdb"

Why gperf?

I've setup a dependency on the Google Performance Tools for all coins. This is a hard dependency, but can be removed easily by removing the build references.

Done

1. bitcoind
2. devcoind
3. dogecoind
4. litecoind
5. darkcoin
6. blackcoin
7. Restore wallet.dat from S3 bucket.

Current Progress

Generic builds

TODO

1. Move all compile flags to attributes - Mostly done.
2. Setup generic coin configs. - Partly done
3. Save wallet.dat to S3 automatically.
4. Clustring via pub/sub.
5. Auto-share addnode logic via cluster.
6. Actual Ubuntu support
7. Documentation

Controlling Coin Daemons

Daemons are monitored and controlled via monit:

1. 'monit status' - shows status of daemons
2. 'monit stop bitcoind' - stops the bitcoind daemon
3. 'monit start bitcoind' - start the bitcoind daemon

Getting Started

0. Grab Oracle VirtualBox and this image http://www.mediafire.com/download/8fcbxywxngau25w/centos64_x64_chef_11.8.2.box (mostly tested on Centos 6.x)
1. It can take a very long time to build all the required libraries. I've implemented an archive and restore system via S3. Setup your AWS S3 credential's in the walletserver's attributes, and bucket name.
2. Use the 'archive' role. Allow the boot to properly finish. You will have an archive of all the libs; 'vagrant up && yes | vagrant destroy'
3. Use any of the other roles afterwards in future boots that contain the 'walletserver::restore_root' recipe.; then vagrant up
