A dashboard monitoring the energy usage and carbon emissions of the Polkadot ecosystem. Providing real-time updates for anyone to explore the relaychain and various parachains.
First, run the development server:
npm run dev
# or
yarn devOpen http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
Emission analysis is conducted through aggregation of geolocation, grid efficiency and average compuatation data provided by parachain operators.
Update DATABASE_URL in .env to connect your postgres database
To set up the cron job, provide Github secrets with the relevant POSTGRES_PASSWORD and DATABASE_URL
OR you can setup cron job by yourself:
crontab -e
0 0,6,12,18 * * * node --experimental-json-modules /path/to/scripts/createNetworkData.mjs
To ensure robust database security throughout the dashboard, /api/ endpoints are passed down through getStaticProps, Prisma is never directly used on the client, all database interactions happen using server-side NodeJS code. To prevent reentrancy attacks, a random nonce is generated and signed each time parachain/DApp information is updated.
You can run this Dashboard in Docker containers with minimal effort as follows:
Install docker and docker composer from https://www.docker.com
From the project folder execute: You can run the server in a docker container executing the following command from the project folder:
docker compose up -d
Please wait for a few minutes to let the server populate some records in the
database.
The server will be reachable browsing http://localhost:3001
If you wish to reach the server from the public internet, please follow the Docker section in the main README.md..
If you wish to use Docker for production enviromnent you should change the POSTGRES_PASSWORD: in the docker-compose.yml
