ckan-to-blockchain-ui

ckan-to-blockchain-ui is built on top of ckan2blockchain and to finish off the verification part. It allows easier store and verify dataset package on ethereum blockchain through webpage.

Prerequisite

1. Install Geth through this instruction
2. Create Infura account, create project, copy the https endpoint of Rinkeby, and place it in the .env file. Follow this instruction to get the https endpoint (until step 4 and remember to choose Rinkeby)
3. Create geth account address through terminal:
   • type geth account new and press enter
   • it will prompt for password
   • after that it will return the public address and the path to the keystore
4. create .env file following .env.example
   • replace your own password with the one you were using to create account above
   • put in there the public address (Address should be similar to this 0xD2beDdA8fB2aB7D39eDaF3d735fb309322D61B42, you might need to add the prefix0x by yourself)
     • Account address should begin with "0x". You can verify the address by search it at Rinkeby Etherscan or even at the mainnet
   • don't forget to feed your account balance with ether otherwise you can't push transaction. Do it following instruction here
     • Ether value will only show in the Rinkeby Testnet while in the mainnet the address will not hold any ether
   • specify the full path to the keystore (it is recommend to copy the keystore file to the project for easier run with Docker)
     • Keystore file is by default a text file so just rename and add extension of json that will work

Spin up the app with Docker

• Open the terminal and navigate to where the project locates
• Navigate to ckan2blockchain folder
• Run docker build -t <use-any-name> . (you should have Docker install first)
• Then run docker run -p 0.0.0.0:3000:3000 <use-any-name>
• Navigate to your browser, type 0.0.0.0:3000 and press enter (the console log might show different IP but try to stick with this one)
• the app should be up running now!
