Installation Guide

This guide walks you through the process of installing the Solana Insider Monitor on your system.

Prerequisites

Before installing Solana Insider Monitor, ensure you have the following:

  • Go version 1.23.2 or later
  • Git for cloning the repository
  • Access to a Solana RPC endpoint (mainnet, devnet, or testnet)

RPC Endpoints

You can use public RPC endpoints, but for better reliability and performance, consider using a dedicated service like:

Installation Methods

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/accursedgalaxy/insider-monitor.git
cd insider-monitor

Install Dependencies

go mod download

Build the Binary (Optional)

make build

This will compile the binary to the bin directory.

Pull the Docker Image

docker pull accursedgalaxy/insider-monitor:latest

Run with Docker

docker run -d \
  --name solana-monitor \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v $(pwd)/config.json:/app/config.json \
  -v $(pwd)/data:/app/data \
  accursedgalaxy/insider-monitor

Using Docker Compose

Create a docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3'
services:
  monitor:
    image: accursedgalaxy/insider-monitor:latest
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - ./config.json:/app/config.json
      - ./data:/app/data
    restart: unless-stopped

Then run:

docker-compose up -d

Download Latest Release

Go to the Releases page and download the appropriate binary for your operating system.

Extract and Install

# Extract the archive
tar -xzf insider-monitor-v1.0.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz

# Make the binary executable
chmod +x insider-monitor

# Optionally, move to a directory in your PATH
sudo mv insider-monitor /usr/local/bin/

Verifying Installation

After installation, verify it works by running:

insider-monitor -version

Or if running from source:

go run cmd/monitor/main.go -version

You should see output showing the current version of Solana Insider Monitor.

Initial Configuration

After installation, you'll need to create a configuration file:

  1. Copy the example configuration: 

    cp config.example.json config.json

  2. Edit the file to include your Solana wallet addresses and network details.

See the Configuration Guide for detailed information on configuration options.
