Skynet Portal

Web application

Change current directory with cd packages/website.

Use yarn start to start the development server.

Use yarn build to compile the application to /public directory.

You can use the below build parameters to customize your web application.

• development example GATSBY_API_URL=https://siasky.dev yarn start
• production example GATSBY_API_URL=https://siasky.net yarn build

List of available parameters:

• GATSBY_API_URL: override api url (defaults to location origin)

MongoDB Setup

Mongo needs a couple of extra steps in order to start a secure cluster.

• Open port 27017 on all nodes that will take part in the cluster. Ideally, you would only open the port for the other nodes in the cluster.
• Manually add a mgkey file under ./docker/data/mongo with the respective secret ( see Mongo's keyfile access control for details).
• Manually run an initialisation docker run with extra environment variables that will initialise the admin user with a password (example below).
• During the initialisation run mentioned above, we need to make two extra steps within the container:
  • Change the ownership of mgkey to mongodb:mongodb
  • Change its permissions to 400
• After these steps are done we can open a mongo shell on the primary node and run rs.add() in order to add the new node to the cluster. If you don't know which node is primary, log onto any server and jump into the Mongo's container (docker exec -it mongo mongo -u admin -p) and then get the status of the replica set (rs.status()).

Example initialisation docker run command:

docker run \
	--rm \
	--name mg \
	-p 27017:27017 \
	-e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=<admin username> \
	-e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=<admin password> \
	-v /home/user/skynet-webportal/docker/data/mongo/db:/data/db \
	-v /home/user/skynet-webportal/docker/data/mongo/mgkey:/data/mgkey \
	mongo --keyFile=/data/mgkey --replSet=skynet

Regular docker run command:

docker run \
	--rm \
	--name mg \
	-p 27017:27017 \
	-v /home/user/skynet-webportal/docker/data/mongo/db:/data/db \
	-v /home/user/skynet-webportal/docker/data/mongo/mgkey:/data/mgkey \
	mongo --keyFile=/data/mgkey --replSet=skynet

Cluster initialisation mongo command:

rs.initiate(
  {
    _id : "skynet",
    members: [
      { _id : 0, host : "mongo:27017" }
    ]
  }
)

Add more nodes when they are ready:

rs.add("second.node.net:27017")
