The "CIDgravity connector" connects a boost node to the CIDgravity service. This lighweight connector is executed locally by the markets node daemon each time a deal proposal is received.

Compatibility

Node	Supported
boost	✅
droplet(venus)	✅
lotus-markets	❌

Requirements

1. Get a CIDgravity account : https://cidgravity.com
2. Set the miner get-ask prices to 0 and size to the widest range via the BoostUI(:8080/settings) or Venus Settings :
   • Price = 0
   • Verified Price = 0
   • Min Piece Size = 256
   • Max Piece Size = 32G or 64G
3. Install python modules : toml and requests

sudo apt install python3-toml python3-requests

Get Started

1. Install the connector

sudo -i -u "<USER_RUNNING_BOOST_PROCESS>"
git clone https://github.com/CIDgravity/CIDgravity-X.git
cd CIDgravity-X
cp -n cidgravity_storage_connector.toml.sample cidgravity_storage_connector.toml

2. Add the CIDgravity authentication (located at https://app.cidgravity.com under Settings/Other settings")

nano ./cidgravity_storage_connector.toml

Boost

1. Run the check process

./cidgravity_storage_connector.py --check-boost

2. Enable "CIDgravity connector" Add the following lines to boost config (usually ~/.boost/config.toml) under the [Dealmaking] and [LotusDealmaking] section

Filter = "<ABSOLUTE_PATH>/cidgravity_storage_connector.py --reject"
RetrievalFilter = "<ABSOLUTE_PATH>/cidgravity_storage_connector.py --reject"

3. Restart boost

Droplet (Venus)

1. Run the check process

./cidgravity_storage_connector.py --check-venus  

2. Enable "CIDgravity connector"

Add the following lines to droplet config (under path ~/.droplet/config.toml by default) in the [CommonProvider] section (for more details, please refer to documentation here)

Filter = "<ABSOLUTE_PATH>/cidgravity_storage_connector.py --reject"
RetrievalFilter = "<ABSOLUTE_PATH>/cidgravity_storage_connector.py --reject"

3. Restart droplet
