Electrs

We set up Electrs to serve as a full Electrum server for use with your Bitcoin software or hardware wallets.

{% hint style="warning" %} Difficulty: Medium {% endhint %}

Requirements

Preparations

Make sure that you have reduced the database cache of Bitcoin Core after a full sync.

Electrs is a replacement for a Fulcrum, these two services cannot be run at the same time (due to the same standard ports used), remember to stop or uninstall Fulcrum by doing "sudo systemctl stop fulcrum".

Install dependencies

  • With user admin, update the packages and upgrade to keep up to date with the OS
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
  • Make sure that all necessary software packages are installed

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

sudo apt install libgflags-dev libsnappy-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev liblz4-dev libzstd-dev make g++ clang cmake build-essential

{% endcode %}

  • Install the librocksdb v7.8.3 from the source code. Go to the temporary folder
cd /tmp
  • Clone the rocksdb GitHub repository and enter the rocksdb folder
git clone -b v7.8.3 --depth 1 https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb && cd rocksdb
  • Compile it. This could take time depending on your system performance, be patient
make shared_lib -j $(nproc)

sudo ldconfig

  • Delete rocksdb folder
sudo rm -r rocksdb

rustc --version

  • And cargo installed
cargo -V

Expected output:

{% hint style="warning" %} If you obtain "command not found" outputs, you need to follow the Rustup + Cargo bonus section to install it and then come back to continue with the guide {% endhint %}

Reverse proxy & Firewall

In the Security section, we already set up Nginx as a reverse proxy. Now we can add the Electrs configuration.

  • With user admin, create the reverse proxy configuration
sudo nano /etc/nginx/streams-available/electrs-reverse-proxy.conf
  • Paste the complete following configuration. Save and exit
upstream electrs {
  server 127.0.0.1:50001;
}
server {
  listen 50002 ssl;
  proxy_pass electrs;
}
  • Create the symbolic link that points to the directory streams-enabled

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/streams-available/electrs-reverse-proxy.conf /etc/nginx/streams-enabled/

{% endcode %}

  • Test the Nginx configuration
sudo nginx -t

Expected output:

> nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
> nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
  • Reload the Nginx configuration to apply changes
sudo systemctl reload nginx
  • Configure the firewall to allow incoming requests to the SSL and TCP ports
sudo ufw allow 50002/tcp comment 'allow Electrs SSL from anywhere'
sudo ufw allow 50001/tcp comment 'allow Electrs TCP from anywhere'

Installation

There are no precompiled binaries available, so we will compile the application ourselves.

Build from the source code

  • With user admin, go to the temporary folder
cd /tmp
  • Set a temporary version environment variable to the installation
VERSION=0.10.5
  • Download the source code and go to the electrs folder
git clone --branch v$VERSION https://github.com/romanz/electrs.git && cd electrs
  • To avoid using bad source code, verify that the release has been properly signed by the main developer Roman Zeyde
curl https://romanzey.de/pgp.txt | gpg --import

Expected output:

>   % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
>                                    Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

> gpg: Total number processed: 1
> gpg:               imported: 1
  • Verify the release
git verify-tag v$VERSION

Expected output:

> gpg:                using ECDSA key 15C8C3574AE4F1E25F3F35C587CAE5FA46917CBB

> Primary key fingerprint: 15C8 C357 4AE4 F1E2 5F3F  35C5 87CA E5FA 4691 7CBB
  • Now compile the source code into an executable binary

Run

To keep an eye on the software movements, start your SSH program (eg. PuTTY) a second time, connect to the MiniBolt node, and log in as admin

  • Start the service
sudo systemctl start electrs
  • Monitor the systemd journal at the first session created to check if everything works fine

{% hint style="info" %} Electrs will now index the whole Bitcoin blockchain so that it can provide all necessary information to wallets. With this, the wallets you use no longer need to connect to any third-party server to communicate with the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network {% endhint %}

  • Ensure electrs service is working and listening at the default TCP 50001 port and the monitoring 14224 port (not used on MiniBolt)
sudo ss -tulpn | grep LISTEN | grep electrs

Expected output:

> tcp   LISTEN 0      128          0.0.0.0:50001      0.0.0.0:*    users:(("electrs",pid=54749,fd=4))

  • And the SSL 50002 port
sudo ss -tulpn | grep LISTEN | grep 50002

Expected output:

> tcp   LISTEN 0   511   0.0.0.0:50002   0.0.0.0:*    users:(("nginx",pid=719,fd=5),("nginx",pid=718,fd=5),("nginx",pid=717,fd=5),("nginx",pid=716,fd=5),("nginx",pid=715,fd=5))

{% hint style="info" %} Electrs must first fully index the blockchain and compact its database before you can connect to it with your wallets. This can take a few hours. Only proceed with the next section once Electrs is ready {% endhint %}

Extras (optional)

Remote access over Tor

To use your Electrum server when you're on the go, you can easily create a Tor hidden service. This way, you can connect the BitBoxApp or Electrum wallet remotely, or even share the connection details with friends and family. Note that the remote device needs to have Tor installed as well.

  • Ensure that you are logged in with the user admin, edit the torrc file
sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc
  • Add the following lines in the "location hidden services" section, below "## This section is just for location-hidden services ##" in the torrc file. Save and exit
# Hidden Service Electrs TCP & SSL
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service_electrs_tcp_ssl/
HiddenServiceVersion 3
HiddenServicePoWDefensesEnabled 1
HiddenServicePort 50001 127.0.0.1:50001
HiddenServicePort 50002 127.0.0.1:50002
  • Reload the Tor configuration to apply changes
sudo systemctl reload tor
  • Get your Onion address
sudo cat /var/lib/tor/hidden_service_electrs_tcp_ssl/hostname

Expected output:

> abcdefg..............xyz.onion
  • You should now be able to connect to your Electrs server remotely via Tor using your hostname and port 50002 (SSL) or 50001 (TCP)

Migrate BTC RPC Explorer to Electrs API connection

To get address balances, either an Electrum server or an external service is necessary. Your local Electrs server can provide address transaction lists, balances, and more.

  • As user admin, open the btcrpcexplorer service
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/btcrpcexplorer.service
  • Replace the "After=fulcrum.service" with the "After=electrs.service" parameter. Save and exit
After=electrs.service
  • Restart the BTC RPC Explorer service to apply the changes
sudo systemctl restart btcrpcexplorer

Upgrade

  • First, ensure that you have the latest Rustc version following the Upgrade section of the Rustup + Cargo bonus guide
  • Follow the complete Build from the source code section
  • When you finish, restart Electrs to apply the new version
sudo systemctl restart electrs
  • Check logs and pay attention to the next log if that attends to the new version installed
journalctl -fu electrs

sudo systemctl disable electrs
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/electrs.service
  • Ensure you are logged in with the user admin. Delete the electrs user.
    Don't worry about userdel: electrs mail spool (/var/mail/electrs) not found output, the uninstall has been successful
sudo userdel -rf electrs
  • Delete electrs directory
sudo rm -rf /data/electrs/

Uninstall Tor hidden service

  • Ensure that you are logged in with the user admin , edit the torrc config file
sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc
  • Delete or comment on the following lines in the "location hidden services" section, below "## This section is just for location-hidden services ##" in the torrc file. Save and exit
# Hidden Service Electrs TCP & SSL
#HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service_electrs_tcp_ssl/
#HiddenServiceVersion 3
#HiddenServicePoWDefensesEnabled 1
#HiddenServicePort 50001 127.0.0.1:50001
#HiddenServicePort 50002 127.0.0.1:50002

sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-available/electrs-reverse-proxy.conf
  • Delete the simbolic link
sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/electrs-reverse-proxy.conf

  • Reload the Nginx configuration to apply changes
sudo systemctl reload nginx
  • Display the UFW firewall rules, and note the numbers of the rules for Electrs (e.g., X and Y below)
sudo ufw status numbered

Expected output:

> [Y] 50001       ALLOW IN    Anywhere          # allow Electrs TCP from anywhere
> [X] 50002       ALLOW IN    Anywhere          # allow Electrs SSL from anywhere
