ETH官方客户端Geth的使用(一)

介绍

Geth是由以太坊基金会提供的官方客户端软件,用Go编程语言编写的。Geth提供了一个交互式命令控制台,通过命令控制台中包含了以太坊的各种功能(API)。全名go-ethereum,github地址go-ethereum。wiki里为使用文档。

安装geth

以下为Mac下面安装geth,其他系统下安装可查看Building-Ethereum

brew tap ethereum/ethereum
brew install ethereum

使用geth

启动geth

安装好之后,进入一个自己创建的目录,运行最简单的命令geth console 2>>eth.log启动,以下为启动后的效果。

➜  BlockChain cd Test 
➜  Test geth console 2>>eth.log
Welcome to the Geth JavaScript console!

instance: Geth/v1.8.13-stable/darwin-amd64/go1.10.3
 modules: admin:1.0 debug:1.0 eth:1.0 miner:1.0 net:1.0 personal:1.0 rpc:1.0 txpool:1.0 web3:1.0

> 

以上是一个最简单的启动命令,启动一个控制台并输出日志eth.log到当前目录。当然启动命令还有挺多其他参数,我们使用geth help能够看到一些命令行参数的文档。

命令行参数

在wiki文档Command Line Options,能看到所有的命令行参数。或者直接在命令行里执行geth help

参数使用例子

console和attach

为了使用geth创建一个新帐户,我们必须首先在控制台模式下启动geth。

geth consolegeth attach都可以打开一个JavaScript环境和节点进行交互,但是geth console会启动节点,geth attach是通过rpc或者ipc和已经启动的节点进行交互。在geth console里面可以使用所有模块的api,但是geth attach只能使用已经打开的模块的api,如果节点没有打开rpc geth attach甚至都不能连接上节点

geth console
geth attach

日志

使用geth console的时候你会发现一直会输出信息,如:

INFO [08-12|13:24:11.607] Upgrading chain index                    type=bloombits percentage=88

使用命令--verbosity,后面的值表示日志详细度:0=silent, 1=error, 2=warn, 3=info, 4=debug, 5=detail (默认为: 3):

geth --verbosity 0 console

我们还可以把日志输入到文件中(不知道这里的2是什么意思,好像不代表详细度):

geth --verbosity 0 console 2>> eth.log

查看日志动态:

tail -f eth.log

--dev

以下代码表示在开发者模式下启动交互式JavaScript环境,指定为开发模式这样就不用同步公有链上的区块,公有链的数据量几十个G太大了,共识速度 也比较慢:

geth --dev console 2>> eth.log

数据存放目录--datadir

设置数据库和keystore密钥的数据存放目录,默认目录你能在geth help的时候--datadir后面看到,我这里默认的是"/Users/dasheng/Library/Ethereum",现在在我当前的目录/Users/dasheng/My/BlockChain/Test,设置为--datadir DataDir,就会在当前目录下创建一个DataDir文件夹。

启动后你在这个文件夹下面可以看到geth(用于存储公链的数据)、keystore(用于存储秘钥)两个文件夹,里面存储的就是对应的数据了。

➜  ~ cd /Users/dasheng/My/BlockChain/Test
➜  Test geth --datadir DataDir --dev console 2>> eth.log

启动HTTP-RPC

--rpc                  启用HTTP-RPC服务器
                         
--rpcaddr value        HTTP-RPC服务器接口地址(默认值:“localhost”)
                         
--rpcport value        HTTP-RPC服务器监听端口(默认值:8545)
                         
--rpcapi value         基于HTTP-RPC接口提供的API,默认只有eth,net,web3

--rpccorsdomain value  允许跨域请求的域名列表(逗号分隔)(浏览器强制)

关于以太坊中的RPC机制可以参考以太坊RPC机制与API实例这篇文章,写的比较详细。下面我简单的说一下使用。

RPC(remote process call),名曰远程过程调用。意思就是两台物理位置不同的服务器,其中一台服务器的应用想调用另一台服务器上某个应用的函数或者方法,由于不在同一个内存空间不能直接调用,因此需要通过网络来表达语义以及传入的参数。RPC是跨操作系统,跨编程语言的网络通信方式。

geth --rpc --rpcapi "db,eth,net,web3,personal" --datadir DataDir --dev console 2>> eth.log

这里我们使用--rpc表示启用HTTP-RPC,我们可以指定监听地址以及端口,如果不写--rpcaddr--rpcport``的话,就是默认的http://localhost:8545。--rpcapi`表示基于HTTP-RPC接口提供的API,默认只有eth,net,web3。

geth  --rpc --rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 --rpcport 10070 --rpcapi "personal,db,eth,net,web3" -datadir DataDir --dev console 2>> eth.log

如果你要使用浏览器来访问的话,就要强制指定--rpccorsdomain选项,否则的话由于JavaScript调用的同源限制,请求会失败。

geth  --rpc --rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 --rpcport 10070 --rpcapi "personal,db,eth,net,web3" --rpccorsdomain "http://localhost:10070" -datadir DataDir --dev console 2>> eth.log

然后我们就可以用Postman来测试上面的HTTP-RPC服务了。

ETH官方客户端Geth的使用(一)_第1张图片
image

请求的json数据为:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"web3_clientVersion","params":[],"id":67}

同步模式--syncmode

同步模式有三种:"fast", "full", or "light"

geth --syncmode "fast" --datadir DataDir --cache=512 console

"full":

获取区块的header
获取区块的body
从创始块开始校验每一个元素
下载所有区块数据信息

"fast":

获取区块的header
获取区块的body
在同步到当前块之前不处理任何事务,然后获得一个快照,像full节点一样进行后面的同步操作。沿着区块下载最近数据库中的交易,有可能丢失历史数据。
使用此模式时注意需要设置–cache,默认16M,我这里设置的是512M

"Ligth":

仅获取当前状态。验证元素需要向full节点发起相应的请求。

退出geth控制台

exit
