Major Hive Witness Essentials Upgrade - V2

 --- Hivers, it’s been four years since I released the latest version of **Hive Witness Essentials**. While it’s been running with a few updates & fixes along the way, four years is a long time in tech and I decided it was time for a complete overhaul. So, I’m happy to announce that **Hive Witness Essentials V2** is now live and ready! ### What's new? The core functionality remains the same but with a major code rewrite: it’s cleaner, more efficient, and — most importantly — much easier to use. Rather than three separate configurations for each tool (watcher, remote, and pricefeed), they’re now all combined into one. You can now manage them from a single script, streamlining everything and making it simpler to work with. If you prefer, you can still run each tool as a separate process, but if not, you’ll enjoy the same functionality with a more user-friendly setup. Check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/therealwolf42/hive-witness-essentials Here’s what’s included: - **Pricefeed** - Publish reliable price feeds - **Watcher** - Monitor for missed blocks, switch to backup nodes on failure, and get notified - **CLI** - Command-line interface for quick witness updates, signing-key management, and parameter changes - **Remote** - Full CLI functionality via Telegram. ### Getting Started Guide All essentials (Watcher, Pricefeed, and Remote) support Docker, which is the recommended deployment option. ``` git clone git@github.com:therealwolf42/hive-witness-essentials.git # Copy example config cp config/config.example.json config/config.json # Edit the config file and replace values as needed # Ensure each essential's ENABLED flag is set to true/false as desired. nano config/config.json # Optional: Ensure script permissions chmod +x run.sh # Optional: Install Docker if not yet installed ./run.sh install_docker # Install dependencies sudo apt install jq # Rebuild whenever you update the config, then restart and view logs ./run.sh build && ./run.sh restart && ./run.sh logs To list available commands and check active essentials, use: `./run.sh help` ``` #### (Optional) Installing Node To use the CLI tool, you’ll need Node.js (version 18+ recommended, ideally the latest LTS v22). Here’s how to install or update it: ``` sudo apt-get install curl curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install nodejs npm install -g pnpm pm2 && pnpm i ``` ### Have Questions?
