* Replaced serde renames to aliases Ideally I would have removed all serde macros, but then it would have broken existing QA deployments - perhaps we should do it later * Renamed 'node_id' in Delegation to 'mix_id' * Further renamings of 'node_id' to 'mix_id' in various places
Network Explorer API
An API that provides data for the Network Explorer.
Features:
- geolocates mixnodes using https://app.ipbase.com/
- calculates how many nodes are in each country
- proxies mixnode API requests to add HTTPS
Running
Supply the environment variable GEOIP_DATABASE_PATH with a path
that points to a GeoIP2 database file in binary format.
Run as a service and reverse proxy with nginx to add https with Lets Encrypt.
Setup nginx to inject the request IP to the header X-Real-IP.
Use https://github.com/maxmind/geoipupdate to automatically provide and update the GeoIP2 database file.
TODO / Known Issues
TODO
- record the number of mixnodes on a given date and write to a file for later retrieval
- dependency injection
- tests
