# LBRY Herald
|
|
|
|
herald.go is a not yet feature complete go rewrite of the [existing implementation in python](https://github.com/lbryio/hub/tree/master/hub/herald). A herald server provides back-end services to LBRY clients. Services include
|
|
|
|
- URL resolution
|
|
- search
|
|
- hub federation and discovery
|
|
|
|
This project will eventually subsume and replace the
|
|
[herald](https://github.com/lbryio/hub/blob/master/docs/docker_examples/hub-compose.yml#L38)
|
|
and the [lighthouse](https://github.com/lbryio/lighthouse) search provider.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

No install instructions yet. See Contributing below.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

./herald serve
|
|
```
|
|
|

Contributions to this project are welcome, encouraged, and compensated. Details [here](https://lbry.tech/contribute).
|

|
|
### Dev Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Install Go 1.18+
|
|
|
|
- Ubuntu: `sudo snap install go`
|
|
- OSX: `brew install go`
|
|
- Windows https://golang.org/doc/install
|
|
|
|
Download `protoc` from https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases and make sure it is
|
|
executable and in your path.
|
|
|
|
Install Go plugin for protoc and python:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
go get google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc
|
|
pip install grpcio grpcio-tools github3.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Lastly the hub needs protobuf version 3.17.1, it may work with newer version but this is what it's built with, on ubuntu systems you'll have to install this from source see the GitHub actions in `.github/workflows` for an example of this.
|
|
|
|
Install rocksdb and dependencies your CGO flags, on ubuntu. We use v6.29.5 for feature and statis build support.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install libgflags-dev libsnappy-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libzstd-dev liblz4-dev
|
|
wget https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/archive/refs/tags/v6.29.5.tar.gz
|
|
tar xfzv rocksdb-6.29.5.tar.gz
|
|
cd rocksdb-6.29.5
|
|
make static_lib
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v3.17.1/protobuf-all-3.17.1.tar.gz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you can run `./protobuf/build.sh` without errors, you have `go` and `protoc` installed correctly.
|
|
|
|
Finally, run the block processor as described under Usage.
|
|
|
|
### Running from Source
|
|
|
|
Run `./dev.sh` to start the hub. The script will restart the hub as you make changes to `*.go` files.
|
|
|
|
To search, use `go run . search text goes here`.
|
|
|
|
#### Windows
|
|
|
|
reflex doesn't work on windows, so you'll need to run `go run . serve` and restart manually as you make changes.
