Harden node.blockstack.org service
jackzampolin opened this issue · comments
Moving discussion about the node.blockstack.org service from here: #400
I'm going to replace the current setup with one based on docker where we can closely pack the blockstack-core nodes to easily scale the number of nodes available to service requests. I have a working setup right now, but its a bit brittle due to an open issue: stacks-network/stacks-core#658
I have this service set up at https://node.technofractal.com:6263 and http://node.technofractal.com:6264 for testing and comparison
I've got full details on the install here: https://github.com/blockstackinc/devops/tree/master/node.blockstack.org#docker
I built a load testing program to help test this: https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack.go/tree/master/cmd/bsk-load
The new installation is much faster! This is ready for some certs and a DNS switch over
Also full details on deployment here: https://github.com/blockstackinc/devops/tree/master/node.blockstack.org/
Some performance numbers from the testing: https://gist.github.com/jackzampolin/9ee2dd2fc0fd4d1ed2ca53a94127df0f
DNS has been switched. Going to go ahead and close this issue.
