API Server for Odysee

⚠️ If you are looking for the UI code, that lives here: https://github.com/OdyseeTeam/odysee-frontend. ⚠️

This is the API server used by Odysee, mostly acting as a bridge between web and the blockchain.

Required tools

go install github.com/volatiletech/sqlboiler
go install github.com/volatiletech/sqlboiler/drivers/sqlboiler-psql

Running off source (the preferred way for development)

1. Launch the core environment containers

docker compose up -d

Note: if you're running a LBRY desktop app or a lbrynet instance, you will have to either shut it down or change its ports

2. Set up database schema if this is your first launch

go run . db_migrate_up

3. Generate RSA key file

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f token_privkey.rsa -m pem

4. Start Odysee API server

go run .

5. Clone odysee-frontend repo, if you don't have it

6. Launch UI in lbry-desktop repo folder

SDK_API_URL=http://localhost:8080 yarn dev:web

Running with Docker

Make sure you have recent enough Docker and docker compose installed.

1. Initialize and launch the containers

This will pull and launch SDK and postgres images, which Odysee API requires to operate.

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.app.yml up -d

Note: if you're running a LBRY desktop app or lbrynet instance, you will have to either shut it down or change ports

2. Clone lbry-desktop repo, if you don't have it

cd ..
git clone git@github.com:lbryio/lbry-desktop.git

3. Launch UI in lbry-desktop repo folder

LBRY_WEB_API=http://localhost:8080 yarn dev:web

4. Open http://localhost:9090/ in Chrome or Firefox for best experience

Development tips

Change DB schema

1. Create a schema migration
2. Apply schema migration with go run . db_migrate_up
3. Run make models for sqlboiler to pick up the changes

Testing

Make sure you have lbrynet, postgres and postgres-collector containers running and run make prepare_test test.

Building Docker images

Make sure you have Go 1.26 installed.

Then build the binary, create a docker image locally:

make oapi && make oapi_image

Tools used in development

• golangci-lint

• govulncheck

go install golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck@latest
