Note : unless mainnet is ready, this package is running on testnet.

### Add Debian/Ubuntu repository
echo "deb [arch=amd64 trusted=yes] https://projects.iabsis.com/repository/alephium-pkg/debian buster main" \
  > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/alephium.list

### Update package list
apt update

### Install alephium
apt install alephium

Note : this package has been build and tested with debian buster, but it should work on other releases.

Config location¶

You may adjust config into /etc/alephium/user.conf

Proxy with Nginx¶

If you need to reach remotely the API, you can use Nginx as relay. This way, Nginx can add the missing TLS layer to encrypt requests.

Warning : don't expose this API over the internet. This setup is probably not secure enough unless you protect your Nginx with a password.

Install Nginx package

apt -y install nginx

Remove default website.

rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Add create new file /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/alephium with the following content.

server {
    server_name _;
    client_max_body_size 2M;

   location / {
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:12973;
   }

    listen 80;
}

Reload nginx

systemctl reload nginx
