BTC-RPC-EXPLORER

This guide will allow you to operate and utilize your Dojo to back a full Bitcoin Explorer. (This set up is designed to be accessible from your local LAN only)
Node.js 
We will be completely operating from your main device, unless otherwise stated. So grab your laptop, and follow along.
Determine which download you need:
$ uname -m
Now head to: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Right click on the correct download to "Copy link address" you need. For this example I'll use the linux x64 download.
$ wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.16.3/node-v10.16.3-linux-x64.tar.xz
Unpack and install
$ tar -xf node-v10.16.3-linux-x64.tar.xz
$ sudo rm -r *.tar.xz
$ cd node-v10.16.3-linux-x64
$ sudo cp -R * /usr/local/
Check the version
$ node -v
v10.16.3
$ npm -v
6.9.0
And that's it for node.js!
Install the Explorer
First, head over to github and read up on the explorer: https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer​
Ok, now we are going to pull the repo using git (alternatively you can use wget) and install it using npm. 
$ git clone https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer.git
$ cd btc-rpc-explorer
$ npm install
Now we need to set the .env file. To do this we are going to edit the .env-sample file, then save as .env to activate it.
$ sudo nano .env-sample
##Make sure you UNCOMMENT out the following:
BTCEXP_HOST=127.0.0.1
BTCEXP_PORT=3002 (you can change this, you will put this in the web browser)
​
​
BTCEXP_BITCOIND_HOST=192.168.X.XX (this should be the IP of you pi you configured in the Electrs guide)
BTCEXP_BITCOIND_PORT=28256 (if default dojo)
BTCEXP_BITCOIND_USER=dojoRPCusername
BTCEXP_BITCOIND_PASS=dojoRPCpasswrod
BTCEXP_BITCOIND_RPC_TIMEOUT
​
​
Rest are optional, but I opted for the following:
BTCEXP_DEMO
BTCEXP_PRIVACY_MODE
BTCEXP_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=(whatever you want)
​
##One you are happy with your settings..
Ctrl+X, y, (delete the .env-sample, type: .env) Enter
WARNING: To be clear to save as, before hitting Enter, you should see the file name:    .env    
If you still have: .env-sample    It will not work. 
Ok, now we are all set... all thats left is to start.
$ npm run
$ npm start
Go to 127.0.0.1:3002 (or whatever port you used) and you should now have access to your full explorer!
