== Quick Start
=== Prerequisites
Dshackle is designed for cloud environment and supposed to be used withing Docker and/or Kubernetes. However it's a JVM
based application and therefore can be used in most of standard environment where Java Virtual Machine can be installed.
We're going to use Docker image for this quick start.
For demo access we use gRPCurl tool, which can be installed from https://github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl
=== Configuration
NOTE: you can find following example configuration in demo/quick-start directory of the project
Create file `dshackle.yaml` with following content:
[source,yaml]
----
version: v1
port: 2449
tls:
enabled: false
upstreams:
config: "upstreams.yaml"
----
This very basic config says that:
- application will listen for connections on 0.0.0.0:2449
- TLS security should be disabled (_never use in production!_)
- read upstreams configuration from file `upstreams.yaml` in current directory
Now create file `upstreams.yaml`:
[source,yaml]
----
version: v1
upstreams:
- id: infura-eth
chain: ethereum
connection:
ethereum:
rpc:
url: "https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/${INFURA_USER}"
ws:
url: "wss://mainnet.infura.io/ws/v3/${INFURA_USER}"
- id: infura-kovan
chain: kovan
connection:
ethereum:
rpc:
url: "https://kovan.infura.io/v3/${INFURA_USER}"
----
This config:
- setups 2 upstreams, one for Ethereum Mainnet and another for Kovan Testnet (both upstreams are configured for Infura for demo purposes, but you can use other compatible endpoints)
- for Ethereum Mainnet it connects using JSON RPC and Websockets connections, for Kovan just JSON RPC is used
- Infura authentication config is omitted for this demo
- `${INFURA_USER}` value can be provided through environment variables
==== Run as docker
Official Docker image you can find at: emeraldpay/dshackle
.Setup Infura username
[source,bash]
----
export INFURA_USER=...
----
.Run Dshackle
[source,bash]
----
docker run -p 2449:2449 -v $(pwd):/etc/dshackle -e "INFURA_USER=$INFURA_USER" emeraldpay/dshackle
----
.Connect and listen for new blocks on Ethereum Mainnet
[source,bash]
----
grpcurl -import-path ./proto/ -proto blockchain.proto -d "{\"type\": 100}" -plaintext 127.0.0.1:2449 io.emeraldpay.api.Blockchain/SubscribeHead
----
.Output would be like
----
{
"chain": "CHAIN_ETHEREUM",
"height": 8396159,
"blockId": "fc58a258adccc94466ae967b1178eea721349b0667f59d5fe1b0b436460bce75",

The output above is for a _streaming subscription_ to all new blocks on Ethereum Mainnet. It's a method provided
by Dshackle, provided in additional to methods provided by RPC JSON of underlying nodes.
