Install dev dependencies

To develop on this project you will need :

• go
• swagger to generate go code from API documentation

Once Golang is installed on your system, you can install the swagger dependency by running the following command outside of a go module directory:

• go install github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger/cmd/swagger@latest

Setup code formatting tool

Use prettrier to format de code. We recommend to install IDE prettier extension to format on save.

For go code, we use the formatter included in https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=golang.go.

golangci-lint

• golangci-lint is used to run linters in parallel.. We recommend to install it locally and run it on your source code, before pushing any modification, otherwise some potential lint errors will be catched by the pipeline.
• to run golangci-lint locally : golangci-lint run .

How to resolve golangci-lint recurring errors ?

• File is not gofumpt

gofumpt need to be installed locally go install mvdan.cc/gofumpt@latest

run gofumpt locally on your source code gofumpt -l -w .

• File is not gci

gci need to be installed locally go install github.com/daixiang0/gci@latest

run gofumpt locally on your source code gci --write .

How to...

... install Thyra on my computer?

Follow the instructions for your computer in the wiki:

• MacOS
• Linux
• Windows

... manage my wallet?

1. Create / delete your wallet

You can access to Thyra wallet interface at URL : http://my.massa/thyra/wallet/index.html

By inputing the 'Nickname' & 'Password', you'll be able to create an encrypted wallet locally on your machine. To delete your wallet, simply use the interface. ⚠️ If you delete your wallet, you won't be able to edit the website linked to it anymore.

2. Get coins on your wallet

To get coins on your wallet, you have to send your address on Massa faucet channel Make sure that you use the latest version of Thyra (and defacto Testnet) here, otherwise the faucet won't work. NB: if you just installed Thyra, you're using the latest version!

... store a website on chain?

You can access to Thyra web hosting interface at URL : http://my.massa/thyra/websiteCreator/index.html

In order to register a website on Thyra you'll need to :

• Deploy a Smart Contract that will handle the storage of your website, your DNS name will fetch the Address of this Smart Contract - this step is handled by Thyra, don't worry. But at least you know what's happening behind the wood.

• Upload the build of your application.

  • If you don't have an application or website handy but still want to test this functionality, here are some websites you can use:
    • bbx.zip
    • flappy.zip
    • tic-tac-toe.zip

• Use a wallet with sufficient coins to upload it on the blockchain Important note: At the moment, we have defined that 1 chunk (=280ko) of data worth 100 MAS. It will change and become more and more specific and precise as the Testnet and Thyra are evolving. In the mean time, we have defined it arbitrarily.

• Visit the registry to find your .massa website and see others

... get the latest dev version of thyra-server?

To install the latest dev version of the thyra-server application you need to:

• install go
• execute go install github.com/massalabs/thyra/cmd/thyra-server@main in your terminal

Note: you can change main to a tag or a commit value if needed.

That's it, thyra-server is installed in '$HOME/go/bin/' dir and you can use it by executing thyra-server in your terminal.

... pass options to thyra-server?

Thyra accepts different options that you can specify when you start the program. In this section you will find a non-exhaustive list of such options and examples of how you can use them.

--node-server : Specify which Massa network Thyra will communicate with while running. Accepts a URL, an IP address or one of the following values :

• TESTNET : Uses Massa's testnet
• LABNET : Uses Massa's labnet
• INNONET : Uses Massa's innonet
• LOCALHOST : Expect Massa's network to be hosted at 127.0.0.1

To use this option with a constant, you have to execute : thyra-server node-server=LABNET To use this option with a custom IP address, you have to execute : thyra-server node-server=192.168.X.X

... secure HTTPS configuration?

Using HTTPS configuration without specifying your own certificate and key triggers a warning: insecure HTTPS configuration.

To solve this you need to create your own certificate. You can do so by using openssl:

openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 \
            -x509 \
            -sha256 \
            -days 365 \
            -nodes \
            -out my_thyra.crt \
            -keyout my_thyra.key

You can now execute a thyra-server using the following command changing path to ... to proper values: thyra-server --tls-certificate <path to my_thyra.crt> --tls-key <path to my_thyra.key>.

... code with auto-reload

You can run the application with this command: air.

It will generate and reload thyra each time a file is modified.

Usage

Upload a website

With Thyra you can upload a website. It will be hosted on the Massa blockchain and available as a .massa URL. You can access this URL through Tyhra.

For this to work, the file you upload must be a zip archive (file ending with .zip). This archive must contain a index.html file at the root.
