Setup

We assume you have node.js v16+ and npm installed. If not please go to https://nodejs.org/ to get latest stable version.

Preparation steps: 1. Create directory to store resolver data (mkdir ~/dweb-gateway) 2. Go to this directory (cd ~/dweb-gateway) 3. Create directory to store certificates (mkdir ./certs) 4. Install resolver package npm install @decentraweb/http-gateway 5. With editor of your choice create index.mjs file with following content:

import path from 'path';
import {HTTPGateway} from "@decentraweb/http-gateway";
import {providers} from "ethers";
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/node';
import {addExtensionMethods} from '@sentry/tracing';

const ETH_NETWORK = 'mainnet';
const JSONRPC_URL = 'https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/00000000000000000000000000000000';

const provider = new providers.JsonRpcProvider(JSONRPC_URL, ETH_NETWORK);
// You can register your own Sentry account and provide your own DSN here to monitor your gateway
Sentry.init();
addExtensionMethods();

const gateway = new HTTPGateway({
  baseDomain: 'gw.acme.com', // This is domain that will be used to access Decentraweb domains ({domain}.gw.acme.com)
  ipfsGatewayIp: '18.177.155.53',
  network: ETH_NETWORK,
  provider,
  certs: {
    storageDir: path.resolve('../../certs'),
    maintainerEmail: 'admin@acme.com'
  }
});


gateway.listenHttp(8080).then((port) => {
  console.log(`Decentraweb gateway listening port ${port}`);
});
gateway.listenHttps(8443).then((port) => {
  console.log(`Decentraweb gateway listening port ${port}`);
});

Running

To start gateway execute node index.mjs in shell console. You should see following output:

Decentraweb gateway listening port 80
Decentraweb gateway listening port 443

To test, open https://sagan.gw.acme.com/ in your browser.
