Set-up & Running (Download app)
You can either install it on your local machine, or if you prefer it, you can use the official docker image.
If you only want to retrieve the data used by our application, go to grasia/dao-scripts instead
The easiest method by far to download and run the application is to use pip to install it
pip install dao-analyzer
Then, you can run the app using the commands daoa-cache-scripts and daoa-server
How to run it?
Before launching the app, you have to run the following script in order to enable the cache stored in datawarehouse:
dao-scripts
After a few minutes, you can now run the app with:
daoa-server
Now, visit http://127.0.0.1:8050 or the address given in the program output with your web browser.
Environment variables
To be able to access all the features of dao-analyzer, you can specify the following
environment variables:
# The CrytptoCompare API key to be used to get token prices
DAOA_CC_API_KEY = "your_api_key"
# The path of the datawarehouse
DAOA_DW_PATH = './datawarehouse' # <-- Default value
Build application
Enter in your terminal (git must be installed) and write down:
git clone https://github.com/Grasia/dao-analyzer
After that, move to repository root directory with:
cd dao-analyzer
Build the dao_analyzer_components (not necessary if you only want to get the data, but not to display it)
cd dao_analyzer_components && npm ci && npm build
Then, go back to the root folder of the project, and install the package
pip install -e .
If you don't want to share Python dependencies among other projects, you should use a virtual environment, such as virtualenv.
Using Docker
If you use Docker, you can just use the images at ghcri.io/grasia/dao-analyzer. The tags with the -cached suffix have a pre-populated data warehouse (this means the image uses more space, but takes less time to load). To use it, just run the command:
docker run --name dao-analyzer -it -p80:80 ghcr.io/grasia/dao-analyzer:latest
or
docker run --name dao-analyzer -it -p80:80 ghcr.io/grasia/dao-analyzer:latest-cached
dao-analyzer is the container name, you can put whatever you want, but remember
to change it also on the following command
Now, you can update the datawarehouse using:
docker exec -it dao-analyzer dao-scripts
You can even add it to your system as a cron job to update it daily, weekly, etc...
Technical details
Architecture
There is available a class diagram of the DAOstack app, the DAOhaus app, and the Aragon app.
Debugging
This app uses flask, so you can use the FLASK_ENV variable, which also enables debug mode (among other things) when set to development.
export FLASK_ENV=development
How to test it?
Run all tests with:
tox
or
python3 -m pytest test/
Flags for hypothesis testing
Use this flag --hypothesis-show-statistics to show statistics.
Use the flag --hypothesis-seed=<int> to set a fixed seed, it's useful to reproduce a failure.
Deploy
In order to fully deploy the app, use the deploy.sh script, which installs all the Python dependencies, updates the datawarehouse, and runs the web-app with gunicorn, using the gunicorn_config.py file.
Matomo integration
To enable Matomo integration, you just have to pass the following environment variables like this:
DAOA_MATOMO_URL = "https://matomo.example.com"
DAOA_MATOMO_SITE_ID = 1
You can check if the integration is working visiting the page and then your dashboard. The integration uses Javascript, so if there are any errors, you should be able to see them using "Inspect view" in your browser.
Data
The data is updated daily and published in Kaggle and Zenodo
