Openstats

[protolambda]

In an effort to make eth2stats more usable as open source tool, I propose the following changes:

• Move from multi-network to single-network, but configure references to other dashboards.
  • We go from common https://eth2stats.io/onyx-testnet to https://onyx.eth2stats.io/onyx
  • Others can host their own eth2stats sites, and cross-reference networks
  • Current dashboards are simply referenced as https://eth2stats.io/<network name> for now, to keep everything working.
• Make brand names in color/theming more generic, allow for customization
• Remove visitor trackers
• Update footer to reference fork information like issues/fork repo/etc.
  • If its name is "Aleth.io", it will have the original "powered by"
  • If its name is something else, it will make it clear that it is a fork, and credits the original
• Configurable choice between HashRouter (github pages!) and BrowserRouter (nginx/docker setup is removed, it's too specific to and higher overhead for open-source forks)
• Github pages action, to deploy the static site too, on every change to master branch.
• Dev tool now makes a switch between local and remote by adding a X-Local-Dev header.
• Fix bug: websocket service was never started. The store now makes sure it is started as soon as the config is loaded.
• Config system is updated to reflect all of the above, it looks like, see below example.

{
    "local": {
        "HTTP_API": "http://localhost:8080/api",
        "WS_API": "ws://localhost:8080/ws"
    },
    "remote": {
        // change this to some actual eth2stats-server details
        "HTTP_API": "http://localhost:8080/api",
        "WS_API": "ws://localhost:8080/ws"
    },
    "network": {
        "name": "Local",
        "joinURL": "http://localhost:8080/participate",
        "issuesURL": "https://github.com/Alethio/eth2stats-dashboard/issues",
        "forkURL": "https://github.com/ConsenSys/eth2stats-dashboard",
        "serverAddr": "localhost:80",
        "forkName": "Aleth.io"
    },
    "others": {
        "Onyx Testnet": "https://eth2stats.io/onyx-testnet",
        "Altona Testnet": "https://eth2stats.io/altona-testnet",
        "Witti Testnet (Deprecated)": "https://eth2stats.io/witti-testnet",
        "Topaz Testnet (Deprecated)": "https://eth2stats.io/topaz-testnet"
    },
    // Set to false when hosting with a dynamic webhost instead of something static like IPFS or github-pages.
    "hashRouter": true
}

do NOT merge YET: I am going to test this more, and spin up a themed eth2stats dashboard for the next eth2 attacknet 🎉

since this is copied when deloying to gh pages it should have the final production config in it

[protolambda]

Yes, I am thinking we should put some example config up, and actual running dashboards can be repository forks with their own config + optionally theme changes.
