# LBRY Comment Server v2
|
|
|
|
This is a rewrite & update of the server
|
|
[written by myself and Grayson Burton here](https://github.com/ocornoc/lbry-comments)
|
|
|
|
### Install & Setup
|
|
|
|
Clone the repo and install a virtual environement:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# clone the repo
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/osilkin98/comment-server
|
|
|
|
# create a virtual environment in any (current) version of python3.X
|
|
$ virtualenv --python=python3 venv
|
|
$ source venv/bin/activate
|
|
|
|
# install the dependencies
|
|
(venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Running the server
|
|
|
|
Just run:
|
|
`(venv) $ python lbry_comment_server/main.py`

## 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.
