|
|
|
Back-end websocket server for wowlet.
|
|
|
|
- Quart web framework, Py3 asyncio
|
|
- Redis
|
|
|
|
See also the environment variables `WOWLET_COIN_NAME`, `WOWLET_COIN_SYMBOL`, etc. in `settings.py`.
|
|
|
|
## Tasks
|
|
|
|
This websocket server has several scheduled recurring tasks:
|
|
|
|
- Fetch latest blockheight from various block explorers
|
|
- Fetch crypto/fiat exchange rates
|
|
- Fetch latest Reddit posts
|
|
- Fetch funding proposals
|
|
- Check status of RPC nodes (`data/nodes.json`)
|
|
|
|
When Wowlet (the wallet application) starts up, it
|
|
will connect to this websocket server and receive
|
|
the information listed above which is necessary
|
|
for normal operation.
|
|
|
|
See `wowlet_backend.tasks.*` for the various tasks.
|
|
|
