# LBRY Comment Server
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Firstly you'll need to install and run the `lbrynet` daemon,
|
|
the details of which can be found [here](https://github.com/osilkin98/lbryio/lbry).
|
|
|
|
Installing the server:
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/osilkin98/comment-server
|
|
$ cd comment-server
|
|
|
|
# create a virtual environment
|
|
$ virtualenv --python=python3 venv
|
|
|
|
# Enter the virtual environment
|
|
$ source venv/bin/activate
|
|
|
|
# install the library dependencies
|
|
(venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, make sure that the LBRY API server is running,
|
|
to do so you can run the following:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
(venv) $ curl --data '{ "method": "status"}' http://localhost:5279/ | grep is_running
|
|
|
|
# Or from the lbrynet virtual environment:
|
|
(lbry-venv) $ lbrynet status | grep is_running
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then to start the server, simply run:
|
|
```bash
|
|
(venv) $ python -m main &
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## About
|
|
A lot of the design is more or less the same with the original,
|
|
except this version focuses less on performance and more on scalability.
|
|
|
|
Rewritten with python because it's easier to adjust
|
|
and maintain. Instead of doing any multithreading,
|
|
this implementation just delegates a single
|
|
database connection for write operations.
|
|
|
|
The server was originally implemented with `aiohttp`
|
|
and uses `aiojobs` for scheduling write operations.
|
|
As pointed out by several people, Python is a dinosaur
|
|
in comparison to SQLite's execution speed,
|
|
so there is no sensibility in multi-threading from the
|
|
perspective of the server code itself.
