This is an open-source User Interface for the Lighthouse Ethereum Beacon Node and Validator Client.
The Lighthouse Book contains information for users and developers. Specifically the Lighthouse UI section of the book.
Docker is the recommended way to run Siren. This will expose Siren as a webapp.
Configuration is done through environment variables, the best way to get started is by copying .env.example to .env and editing the relevant sections (typically, this would at least include BEACON_URL, VALIDATOR_URL and API_TOKEN)
Then to run the image:
docker compose up
or
docker run --rm -ti --name siren -p 3443:443 --env-file $PWD/.env sigp/siren
This will open port 3443 and allow your browser to connect.
To start Siren, visit https://localhost:3443 in your web browser (ignore the certificate warning).
Advanced users can mount their own certificate (the config expects 3 files: /certs/cert.pem /certs/key.pem /certs/key.pass)
The docker image can be built with the following command:
docker build -f Dockerfile -t siren .
To build from source, ensure that your system has Node v18.18 and yarn installed. Start by configuring your environment variables. The recommended approach is to duplicate the .env.example file, rename it to .env, and modify the necessary settings. Essential variables typically include BEACON_URL, VALIDATOR_URL, and API_TOKEN.
Navigate to the backend directory cd backend. Install all required Node packages by running yarn. Once the installation is complete, compile the backend with yarn build. Deploy the backend in a production environment, yarn start:production. This ensures optimal performance.
After initializing the backend, return to the root directory. Install all frontend dependencies by executing yarn. Build the frontend using yarn build. Start the frontend production server with yarn start.
This will allow you to access siren at http://localhost:3000 by default.
