NBnode

Software for NBdomain node

You need to have NodeJS to run NBnode.

Start the API server

0. install required modules: npm install
1. copy default config: cd core && cp default_config.js config.js
2. edit the config.js as needed
3. start core service: node core/index.js
4. open browser and goto http://localhost:9000/api/?nid=1020.test to test NBdomain resolve service
5. open browser and goto http://localhost:9000/web/md.1010.test to test NBdomain web service
6. open browser and goto http://localhost:9000/ to view home page of this node.

Start the public node server

You don't need to start the web server if you don't want to provide public service.

0. stop the index.js if you have started it

# Allow non-root node to use ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) Linux
sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' $(which node)

# Allow non-root node to use ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) Freebsd
sudo sysctl net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh=0

1. goto your domain's DNS manager to add a (A or C)record to point the domain (or subdomain) to this NBnode's IP address
2. edit .\core\config.js, especially "node_info"->"domain"
3. start core\index.js

note:

• you can change core/config.js to change the port number of the API server.
• a https web server comes with NBnode, please stop apache or ngnix server.
• you can download the latest db files from https://tnode.nbdomain.com/files/txs.db to core/db/ folder
• you can use tools like pm2 to make the service running in background. In this case, you can set exit_count:60 in config.js to make startCore.js restart every 60 minutes, to make it run more smoothly.
• you can create welcome.md in core/public/ folder to show welcome messages at https://yourdomain.
