BTSProxy
BTSProxy is a simple websocket proxy for bitshares, which allows user to request their account history (and more afterwards) via elasticsearch transparently. It can help the witness_node to reduce the stress of tracking account histories for every user.
BTSProxy is currently under heavy development: it lacks reviews / documents / tests. So, try it AT YOUR OWN RISK.
How to use
A TLS certificate is strongly recommended. Random issues may happen if you use ws:// (we are investigating).
Deploy without docker:
git clone https://github.com/Tydus/btsproxy
cd btsproxy
python3 install
export WS_URL=wss://...
export ES_URL=https://...
export SSL_CERT=/path/to/cert
export SSL_KEY=/path/to/key
export LISTEN_PORT=8080
screen -dm -S btsproxy btsproxyDeploy with docker:
docker run -d -e "..." -v /path/to/cert:/cert tydus/btsproxyPitfalls
Due to the "1.11.xxx" representation of the object-ids in elasticsearch, to retrieve account histories correctly is far from trivial, and my solution is far from elegant. However, we did it.
This is a temporary solution. After the elasticsearch plugin is reworked, the performance will be decent and the code will look better.
The official bitshares-ui also has issues of only retrieving top 100 lines of account historiy, which renders this proxy useless.
