always-forge

AlwaysForge is PHP forging fail-over for Lisk cryptocurrency. It will monitor all your nodes in real-time and switch forging to best server available. It uses active (maybe a little too aggressive) approach and best practices.

Version:

2.0.0

This version is fully compatible with Lisk Core 0.9.x and Lisk Core 1.0.x. Version of Lisk Core running on each server is detected automatically on the fly and script switch to using the right API.

Dependencies:

Script require PHP with cURL support and Cron. If you want to run it on hosting instead of VPS - one with SLA 99.99% is highly recommended.

Installation:

Remember to add your monitor's server IP to lisk whitelist (for API and forging)!

git clone https://github.com/4miners/always-forge
cd always-forge
cp config.json.example config.json

Edit config.json to your needs:

{
    "log_level": "info", // Log details level: debug, info, none
    "check_interval_sec": 1, // Checker will pause for that interval each loop
    "timeouts": {
        "request_sec": 3, // Timeout for cURL request, must be higher than connect_msec
        "connect_msec": 1000 // Timeout for cURL connection establishment
    },
    "delegate": {
        "address": "delegate_address", // Your delegate address
        "publicKey": "delegate_publicKey", // Your delegate public key
        "secret": "delegate_secret", // Your delegate secret
        "password": "password" // Password for decrypting your encrypted passphrase
    },
    // List of servers, first server will have highest priority, last - lowest priority
    // Each server must have unique name! For your delegate security HTTPS connection is forced!
    "servers": [
        {
            "name": "mainnet-1 #1",
            "ip": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 8000,
            "ssl": true
        },
        {
            "name": "mainnet-1 #2",
            "ip": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 8001,
            "ssl": true
        }
    ]
}

Save config and test it:

php always_forge.php

If it works - add to your crontab monitor_always_forge.sh to run every minute, for example: crontab -e, then insert:

* * * * * bash /home/lisk/always-forge/monitor_always_forge.sh
