The following environment variables are required:
DB_DIRECTORY - path to the database directory (if relative, to `run` script)
USERNAME - the username the server will run as if using `run` script
ELECTRUMX - path to the electrumx_server.py script (if relative,
to `run` script)
DAEMON_URL - the URL used to connect to the daemon. Should be of the form
http://username:password@hostname:port/
Alternatively you can specify DAEMON_USERNAME, DAEMON_PASSWORD,
DAEMON_HOST and DAEMON_PORT. DAEMON_PORT is optional and
will default appropriately for COIN.
The other environment variables are all optional and will adopt
sensible defaults if not specified.
COIN - see lib/coins.py, must be a coin NAME. Defaults to Bitcoin.
NETWORK - see lib/coins.py, must be a coin NET. Defaults to mainnet.
DB_ENGINE - database engine for the transaction database. Default is
leveldb. Supported alternatives are rocksdb and lmdb.
You will need to install the appropriate python packages.
Not case sensitive.
REORG_LIMIT - maximum number of blocks to be able to handle in a chain
reorganisation. ElectrumX retains some fairly compact
undo information for this many blocks in levelDB.
Default is 200.
HOST - the host that the TCP and SSL servers will use. Defaults to
localhost.
TCP_PORT - if set will serve Electrum TCP clients on that HOST:TCP_PORT
SSL_PORT - if set will serve Electrum SSL clients on that HOST:SSL_PORT
If set, SSL_CERTFILE and SSL_KEYFILE must be filesystem paths.
RPC_PORT - Listen on this port for local RPC connections, defaults to
8000.
BANNER_FILE - a path to a banner file to serve to clients. The banner file
is re-read for each new client.
DONATION_ADDRESS - server donation address. Defaults to none.
Your performance might change by tweaking the following cache
variables. Cache size is only checked roughly every minute, so the
caches can grow beyond the specified size. Also the Python process is
often quite a bit fatter than the combined cache size, because of
Python overhead and also because leveldb consumes a lot of memory
during UTXO flushing. So I recommend you set the sum of these to
nothing over half your available physical RAM:
HIST_MB - amount of history cache, in MB, to retain before flushing to
disk. Default is 250; probably no benefit being much larger
as history is append-only and not searched.
UTXO_MB - amount of UTXO and history cache, in MB, to retain before
flushing to disk. Default is 1000. This may be too large
for small boxes or too small for machines with lots of RAM.
Larger caches generally perform better as there is
significant searching of the UTXO cache during indexing.
However, I don't see much benefit in my tests pushing this
too high, and in fact performance begins to fall. My
machine has 24GB RAM; the slow down is probably because of
leveldb caching and Python GC effects. However this may be
very dependent on hardware and you may have different
results.
