Lightweight status dashboard for Bitcoin nodes.

Project description

BTCnDash is a web-based dashboard displaying information about the status of a bitcoin node such as currently connected peers, recent transactions forwarded, bandwidth usage, and network stats like hash rate. Most items are generated automatically or retrieved from the bitcoind server itself via RPC calls.

BTCnDash is meant to be lightweight, and with the assumption that there will be very low traffic to the dashboard. As such, it does not use a full webserver like Nginx or apache. It uses the Bottle microframework and generates static status pages on a schedule. Python’s WSGI reference server is used as the actual webserver, but Bottle (and therefore BTCnDash) can be served by lots of different servers. Python 2.7 is required. 3.5 works, but is not as well tested!.
