Backend Setup

Welcome to Backend Setup!

To setup up Algebra Protocol Backend please follow these instructions:

1. Create .env file using .env.example

Basically for local start up you can just copy the .env.example as it is

For production you should change .env:

1. set BACKEND_SETTINGS_MODE to production

2. set HTTP_TEMPLATE_DIR to /etc/nginx/templates/ssl

3. change all passwords to secure

4. change variables with host, ports, etc. as required

2 Place SSL certificates to the ./docker/nginx/ssl dir

Files have to be named exactly as in ./docker/nginx/templates/ssl/[template]

3 Start the project

docker compose -f [docker-compose_file] up --build -d

For local development you should use docker-compose.local.yml and for production - docker-compose.yml (or leave file argument empty)

4 Run some commands inside the Django container

Firstly connect to the container with Django. [container] is equal to either dev-backend or backend

docker compose -f [docker-compose_file] exec [container] bash

Then run this inside the container

python manage.py makemigrations

After the migrations are created you have to apply them

python manage.py migrate

Then run this command to collect static files for nginx to be able to serve them

python manage.py collectstatic

Create a superuser to be able to access admin site

python manage.py createsuperuser

5 Add network with subhraphs

1. Go to the [HOST]:[PORT]/admin (if you started a local version it should be localhost/admin)

2. Login with the credentials that you used in the previous step

3. Go to the Networks tab

4. Click Add Network

5. Enter the links to 3 subgraphs

6. Click Save

Additional info

All the amounts are displayed as MATIC but are not converted into Matic exactly. This is just a name to the native tokens (since we deployed to the Polygon)

1. Pools APR are calculated every 1 minute

2. Farmings APR are calculated evey 1 minute
