ONS Server

Overview:

ONS-server is meant to be a highly scalable server for Open Name System. It is meant to be blockchain-agnostic (currently uses the Namecoin blockchain) and is primarily meant for scaling read-only calls to the underlying blockchain. For achieving high throughput ons-server loads the entire namespace into memcached and then keeps the in-memory copy consistent with the blockchain.

Setup Instructions:

ONS-server requires memcached:

sudo apt-get install memcached libmemcached-dev zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev

Before installing pylibmc (listed in requirements.txt) install the above packages.

Install coinrpc:

pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/onenameio/coinrpc.git

For quick deployment:

pip install -r requirements.txt
./runserver

Warmup cache and then keep memcached in sync with the blockchain:

source tools/setup_env.sh
python -m tools.warmup_cache
mkdir log
python -m tools.sync_cache
