v1.1.0 was just released and it brings more information about your server. However there is more information to be released using a simple setting.

If you haven't already seen the previous blog, please go to https://codius.blog/codius-host-settings-part-1/to see how to allocate more memory to your server. This guide acts as if you did NOT allocate more memory.

By default they have chosen to omit some of the information which is available for a host. By adding some settings you could easily show how many running contracts you have on your server to the world.

Let me show you!

Looking at https://codius.example.com/info, with codius.example.com being replaced with your own server, you can see the various info about your server. With an example being:

{
fullMem: false,
serverUptime: 1015355,
serviceUptime: 175826.952,
avgLoad: 0,
numPeers: 190,
currency: "XRP",
costPerMonth: 10,
uri: "https://codius.example.com"
}

To add more information about your host go to

/etc/systemd/system/

edit the file

codiusd.service

you should see a config like this:

[Unit]
Description=Codiusd
After=network.target nss-lookup.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/npm start
Environment="DEBUG=*"
Environment="CODIUS_PUBLIC_URI=https://codius.example.com"
Environment="COST_PER_MONTH=10"
WorkingDirectory=/usr/lib/node_modules/codiusd
Restart=always
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=codiusd
User=root
Group=root
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Remember that

Environment="CODIUS_XRP_PER_MONTH=10"

was changed to

Environment="COST_PER_MONTH=10"

in the recent version. Both tells how much you charge for a contract on your server - in this example it is 10 XRP per month.

To add more info simply add:

Environment="CODIUS_ADDITIONAL_HOST_INFO=true"

Your config should now look like this:

[Unit]
Description=Codiusd
After=network.target nss-lookup.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/npm start
Environment="DEBUG=*"
Environment="CODIUS_PUBLIC_URI=https://codius.example.com"
Environment="COST_PER_MONTH=10"
Environment="CODIUS_ADDITIONAL_HOST_INFO=true"
WorkingDirectory=/usr/lib/node_modules/codiusd
Restart=always
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=codiusd
User=root
Group=root
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save the file.

Reload the daemon

systemctl daemon-reload

And then simply restart Codiusd

systemctl restart codiusd

Now if you go to https://codius.example.com/info you should now also see a field runningContracts:0 which indicates the amount of contracts on your server!

Example:

{
fullMem: false,
serverUptime: 1015355,
serviceUptime: 175826.952,
avgLoad: 0,
numPeers: 190,
currency: "XRP",
costPerMonth: 10,
uri: "https://codius.example.com",
runningContracts: 0
}

Now lets look forward to volume :)
