If you want to run a public server you may be interested in the [Blockstream fork of electrs](https://github.com/Blockstream/electrs)
which is better optimized for public usage at the cost of consuming *significantly* more resources.

## Features

* Supports Electrum protocol [v1.4](https://electrumx-spesmilo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/protocol.html)
* Maintains an index over transaction inputs and outputs, allowing fast balance queries
* Fast synchronization of the Bitcoin blockchain (~6.5 hours for ~504GB @ August 2023) using HDD storage.
* Low index storage overhead (~10%), relying on a local full node for transaction retrieval
* Efficient mempool tracker (allowing better fee [estimation](https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/59c1d03f018026ac301c4e74facfc64da8ae4708/RELEASE-NOTES#L34-L46))
* Low CPU & memory usage (after initial indexing)
* [`txindex`](https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook/blob/develop/ch03.asciidoc#txindex) is not required for the Bitcoin node
* Uses a single [RocksDB](https://github.com/spacejam/rust-rocksdb) database, for better consistency and crash recovery

# Docker installation

## Docker-based installation from source

**Important**: The `Dockerfile` is provided for demonstration purposes and may
NOT be suitable for production use. The maintainers of electrs are not deeply
familiar with Docker, so you should DYOR. If you are not familiar with Docker
either it's probably be safer to NOT use it.

Note: currently Docker installation links statically

Note: health check only works if Prometheus is running on port 4224 inside
container

```bash
$ docker build -t electrs-app .
$ mkdir db
$ docker run --network host \
--volume $HOME/.bitcoin:/home/user/.bitcoin:ro \
--volume $PWD/db:/home/user/db \
--env ELECTRS_DB_DIR=/home/user/db \
--rm -i -t electrs-app
```

If not using the host-network, you probably want to expose the ports for electrs
and Prometheus like so:

```bash
$ docker run --volume $HOME/.bitcoin:/home/user/.bitcoin:ro \
--volume $PWD/db:/home/user/db \
--env ELECTRS_DB_DIR=/home/user/db \
--env ELECTRS_ELECTRUM_RPC_ADDR=0.0.0.0:50001 \
--env ELECTRS_MONITORING_ADDR=0.0.0.0:4224 \
--rm -i -t electrs-app
```

To access the server from outside Docker, add `-p 50001:50001 -p 4224:4224` but
be aware of the security risks. Good practice is to group containers that needs
access to the server inside the same Docker network and not expose the ports to
the outside world.

## Docker compose, one step for installation

**NOTE**: This is intend for one step setup with testnet/signet/regnet, inspired
by [Polar](https://github.com/jamaljsr/polar). **NOT RECOMMAND WITH MAINNET**

To setup testnet, just switch to the [docker](../docker/testnet), and then run:

```bash
docker compose up -d
```

If you are not using Docker Desktop, run:

```bash
docker-compose up -d
```

The default rpc auth info for bitcoin core is: `alice:alice`, if you want to
change it, just create a new one with [rpcauth.py](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/share/rpcauth)
and replace both line 19 in `docker-compose.yml` and line 16 in `electrs.toml`
with new generated auth info:

```
-rpcauth=alice:128f22494cc2208ea8376a3d0b45a131$9cc0187c0e49f35454a3ed1250e40ecaef420cfcd294d3ac22496adbe64f04b9
```

Using it with bitcoin mainnet highly not recommand, use it with you own risk.
It can not start properly with mainnet by default, you need to generated new rpc
auth info and modify `docker-compose.yml` and `electrs.toml`.

Is it possible to not use a constant rpcauth?

I'm using this constant rpcauth just for easy use. Others may delete it and generate their own rpcauth via rpcauth.py, put it to ./bitcoind/bitcoin.conf and change the line auth = "alice:alice" in conf.toml to their own config.
Also, if you want to using cookie file to auth, there's a way to do it:

  1. you can remove the rpcauth config
  2. append one line in docker-compose.yml in [electrs] > volumes section: - ./cookie:/electrs/.cookie
  3. adjust the conf.toml file, i.e. comment out the rpcauth line, un-comment cookie_file and set it's value to /electrs/.cookie
  4. start with docker compose up -d, this command will only start bitcoind, but not electrs
  5. copy the bitcoind's cookie file's content to ./cookie file: cat ./bitcoind/testnet3/.cookie > cookie
  6. rebuild electrs with docker compose up -d --build --no-deps electrs

But i thought it's kind complicate, most people just want one-click to use it.
