TAPS enables Tezos Bakers to automate rewards distribution.

It is written in CFML language (Coldfusion/Lucee). This repository contains all needed source code to run. However, there are some requirements.

Getting started

To use this software you need to be a Tezos Baker with good experience. Follow the installation instructions below. Two articles may be a good start:

Installing Tezos TAPS

TAPS Installation

1. Download Lucee Server from https://download.lucee.org/

2. Download H2 Database from Lucee Extensions https://download.lucee.org/

3. Install Lucee.

   • Get root privileges for the download folder, click with right mouse button over Lucee icon and choose OPEN.
   • Go through Lucee setup wizard, maintaining default installation options.
   • Choose a password for Lucee administration and write it down in a piece of paper.
   • Configure Lucee to start at every boot.
   • DON'T install Apache connector. We will use Lucee only for localhost (not Internet).
   • After Lucee installation, test it in browser with: http://127.0.0.1:8888/

   You can start/stop Lucee Application Server with:

   sudo /opt/lucee/lucee_ctl [start] [stop]
   

4. Install H2 Database.

   • Copy the downloaded file /home/[user]/downloads/org.h2-1.3.172.lex to folder /opt/lucee/tomcat/lucee-server/deploy/
   • Wait a minute. Lucee detects the extension and installs it automatically. That's it!

5. On Command Line Interface, go to folder (CD): /opt/lucee/tomcat/webapps (Debian) or /opt/lucee/tomcat/webapps/ROOT (UBUNTU).

6. Install TAPS.

   • Clone TAPS from GitHub with: git clone https://github.com/TezosRio/taps.git
   • Start TAPS in your browser with http://127.0.0.1:8888/taps/index.cfm
   • Log in TAPS with default user/pass: admin/admin.

   Note: On UBUNTU TAPS folder must be in /opt/lucee/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/

7. Usage.

   • Go to TAPS SETUP page and enter your Baker's details. TAPS starts in simulation mode, so, don't worry, any real transfers will be done.
