BSQ Explorer

Follow these instructions to setup a BSQ Explorer using data from your Bisq Seednode. Keep in mind you need a dedicated seednode for the BSQ explorer, as the JSON data dump puts too much load on it to seed the network properly.

Bisq Seednode

First, setup your Bisq Seednode so you have Tor, Bitcoin, and Bisq running and fully synced. Then, run the intallation script from this repo to install BSQ explorer as a systemd service

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bisq-network/bisq-explorer/master/install_bsq_explorer_debian.sh | sudo bash

It will start the BSQ Explorer service and serve the generated content as static HTML on a Tor hiddenservice onion hostname.

[*] Done!
[*] Access your BSQ explorer at http://jo5e5hqcpvbcw66djrmstb3yfcrqzcp4z4c6amqstp7acehcvc6ogsyd.onion

Let's Encrypt (optional)

If you also want to serve BSQ explorer on clearnet, you'll need to open ports 80 and 443 on your firewall for HTTP and HTTPS

sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
sudo ufw allow 443/tcp

Request an SSL certificate for your server's hostname using certbot

sudo certbot --nginx -d explorer.example.com

Now you should be able to access your BSQ explorer at https://explorer.example.com/
