Indexing-The-Graph

Graph Node is a protocol for building decentralized applications (dApps) quickly on Ethereum and IPFS using GraphQL.

The Graph Official​

The Graph official has not support bitlayer, will coming soon.

Project Local Graph Node​

We recommend following the Official documentation for deployment. The next operation is only intended as a simple setup tutorial for reference.

Set up graph-node​

For convenience reasons, we use the official docker compose for node, database, and IPFS deployment. Note that the value of the ethereum field in docker-compose.yml is replaced with Bitlayer's node connection information.

graph-node:
    image: graphprotocol/graph-node
    ports:
      - '8000:8000'
      - '8001:8001'
      - '8020:8020'
      - '8030:8030'
      - '8040:8040'
    depends_on:
      - ipfs
      - postgres
    environment:
      postgres_host: postgres
      postgres_user: graph-node
      postgres_pass: let-me-in
      postgres_db: graph-node
      ipfs: 'ipfs:5001'
      ethereum: 'mainnet:http://127.0.0.1:8545'  #replaced with bitlayer rpc info
      RUST_LOG: info

Note: The node connected to graph-node needs to be in archive mode (add flag --syncmode full --gcmode archive when starting the node), we recommend each user to build their own RPC node.

Migration​

You can migrate your subgraph from bitlayer graph node or project local graph node to offical environment when the graph enables bitlayer. To migrate smoothly, please set dataSources.source.startBlock in subgraph.yaml, we suggest using the block in which the contract was created.
