NodeInfo

Simple QT fullscreen app compatible with linuxfb (direct framebuffer) that displays information about a Bitcoin Node

Compile

Debian / Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools

brew install automake libtool pkg-config qt

./autogen.sh
./configure
make

Run

X11/OSX

BITCOIN_CLI=/path/to/bin/bitcoin-cli ./nodeinfo

Regtest Linux Without X11 direct framebuffer

BITCOIN_CLI=/btc/apps/bitcoin-0.18.0rc3/bin/bitcoin-cli ./nodeinfo -platform linuxfb

Mainnet custom Datadir Linux Without X11 direct framebuffer

BITCOIN_ARGS="-datadir=/btc/data/bitcoin" BITCOIN_CLI=/btc/apps/bitcoin-0.18.0rc3/bin/bitcoin-cli ./nodeinfo -platform linuxfb

Make sure your user is in the group tty if you run with -platform linuxfb via SSH or other no direct tty ways.

Configuration Options

Show BTC exchange rate:

  • NodeInfo will look for a fill called exchangerate
  • The file should contain a float without "," or "'" (example: 5000.00,... but NOT 5'000.00 and NOT 5000,00)
  • It's possible to set the currency code by adding the text after a comma "," (example: 5000.00,CHF results in BTC/CHF 5000.00)
  • It's possible to set the complete text adding a third element (example: 5000.00,CHF,BLA results in `BLA 5000.00 [second element is ignored])

Environment Variables

  • BITCOIN_CLI path to the bitcoin-cli binary
  • BITCOIN_ARGS arguments to padd to the bitcoin-cli (example: -regtest -datadir = /tmp/dummy)
  • BITCOIN_RPC_TIMEOUT the shell-pipe call timeout
  • NODE_INFO_EXCHANGE_RATE_FILE path to the exchangerate file
  • WINDOWED if set to 1, nodeinfo will run in a window (not compatible with the linuxfd platform)
