Spee.ch

spee.ch provides a user-friendly, custom-designed, image and video hosting site backed by a decentralized network and blockchain (LBRY). Via just a small set of config files, you can spin your an entire spee.ch site back up including assets.

App GIF

For a completely open, unrestricted example of a spee.ch site, check out https://www.spee.ch.

For a closed, custom-hosted and branded example, check out https://lbry.theantimedia.com/.

Install and Set Up Dependencies

  • Firewall open ports
    • 22
    • 80
    • 443
    • 3333
    • 4444
  • NodeJS
  • MySQL version 5.7 or higher
    • mysqlusername or root
    • mysqlpassword
    • Requires mysql_native_password plugin
    mysql> `ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'yourpassword';`
    
  • lbrynet daemon
    • run this as a service exposing ports 3333 and 4444
    • note: once the daemon is running, issue commands in another terminal session (tmux) to retrieve an address for your wallet to recieve 5+ LBC credits (or join us in the #speech discord channel and we will send you a few)
      • ./lbrynet commands gets a list of commands
      • ./lbrynet account_balance gets your balance (initially 0.0)
      • ./lbrynet address_list gets addresses you can use to recieve LBC
  • FFmpeg
  • Spee.ch (below)
  • pm2 (optional) process manager such as pm2 to run speech server.js
  • http proxy server e.g. caddy, nginx, or traefik, to forward 80/443 to speech port 3000
    • note: even running on http://localhost, you must redirect http or https to port 3000

Clone spee.ch

  • release version for stable production
$ git clone -b release https://github.com/lbryio/spee.ch.git
  • master version for development
$ git clone https://github.com/lbryio/spee.ch.git
  • your own fork for customization

Change directory into your project

$ cd spee.ch

Install node dependencies

$ npm install

Create the config files using the built-in CLI

Make sure lbrynet is running in the background before proceeding.

note: If you are opt to run a local chainquery, such as from lbry-docker/chainquery you will need to specify connection details at this time in: ~/spee.ch/docs/setup/conf/speech/chainqueryConfig.json

$ npm run configure

Build & start the app

$ npm run build

$ npm run start

View in browser

Customize your app

Check out the customization guide to change your app's appearance and components

(optional) add custom components and update the styles

  • Create custom components by creating React components in site/custom/src/
  • Update or override the CSS by changing the files in site/custom/scss

(optional) install your own chainquery

Instructions are coming at [lbry-docker] to install your own chainquery instance using docker-compose. This will require 50GB of preferably SSD space and at least 10 minutes to download, possibly much longer.

Stack

The spee.ch stack is MySQL, Express.js, Node.js, and React.js. Spee.ch also runs lbrynet on its server, and it uses the lbrynet API to make requests -- such as publish, create_channel, and get -- on the LBRY network.

Spee.ch also runs a sync tool, which decodes blocks from the LBRY blockchain as they are mined, and stores the information in MySQL. It stores all claims in the Claims table, and all channel claims in the Certificates table.

Architecture

  • cli/ contains the code for the CLI tool. Running the tool will create .json config files and place them in the site/config/ folder

    • configure.js is the entry point for the CLI tool
    • cli/defaults/ holds default config files
    • cli/questions/ holds the questions that the CLI tool asks to build the config files
  • client/ contains all of the client code

    • The client side of spee.ch uses React and Redux
    • client/src/index.js is the entry point for the client side js. It checks for preloaded state, creates the store, and places the <App /> component in the document.
    • client/src/app.js holds the <App /> component, which contains the routes for react-router-dom
    • client/src/ contains all of the JSX code for the app. When the app is built, the content of this folder is transpiled into the client/build/ folder.
      • The Redux code is broken up into actions/ reducers/ and selectors/
      • The React components are broken up into containers/ (components that pull props directly from the Redux store), components/ ('dumb' components), and pages/
      • spee.ch also uses sagas which are in the sagas/ folders and channels/
    • client/scss/ contains the CSS for the project *
  • site/custom is a folder which can be used to override the default components in client/

    • The folder structure mimics that of the client/ folder
    • to customize spee.ch, place your own components and scss in the site/custom/src/ and site/custom/scss folders.
  • server/ contains all of the server code

    • index.js is the entry point for the server. It creates the express app, requires the routes, syncs the database, and starts the server listening on the PORT designated in the config files.
    • server/routes/ contains all of the routes for the express app
    • server/controllers/ contains all of the controllers for all of the routes
    • server/models/ contains all of the models which the app uses to interact with the MySQL database.
      • Spee.ch uses the sequelize ORM for communicating with the database.
  • tests/ holds the end-to-end tests for this project

    • Spee.ch uses mocha with the chai assertion library
    • unit tests are located inside the project in-line with the files being tested and are designated with a xxxx.test.js file name

Tests

  • This package uses mocha with chai for testing.
  • Before running tests, create a testingConfig.js file in devConfig/ by copying testingConfig.example.js
  • To run tests:
    • To run all tests, including those that require LBC (like publishing), simply run npm test
    • To run only tests that do not require LBC, run npm run test:no-lbc

URL formats

Spee.ch has a few types of URL formats that return different assets from the LBRY network. Below is a list of all possible URLs for the content on spee.ch. You can learn more about LBRY URLs here.

Dependencies

Spee.ch depends on two other lbry technologies:

  • chainquery - a normalized database of the blockchain data. We've provided credentials to use a public chainquery service. You can also install it on your own server to avoid being affected by the commons.
  • lbrynet - a daemon that handles your wallet and transactions.
