Are there any additional tutorials for Blockscout deployment?

We are currently working on more tutorials from the team. There are some user and community generated videos available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dH-ZxV1ShQ-cb7gObTXs3MtwSqVNJOqW

Where are the environmental variable (ENV) settings located?

• Frontend envs: https://github.com/blockscout/frontend/blob/main/docs/ENVS.md
• Backend envs: https://github.com/blockscout/blockscout/blob/master/docker-compose/envs/common-blockscout.env

How do I connect the frontend to the backend?

This is done through the proxy setup. Ensure you’ve added the API_V2_ENABLED='true' in your blockscout instance.

Do the frontend and backend need to be under the same domain?

Yes. Be sure to proxy all /api, /socket requests to the backend application and all other requests to the frontend. More info on the proxy setup page.

What are the variable settings for a Polygon Edge client?

Be sure to set the following envs when setting up a Polygon Edge instance:

• ETHEREUM_JSONRPC_VARIANT=geth
• INDEXER_INTERNAL_TRANSACTIONS_TRACER_TYPE=polygon_edge

Blockscout API/indexer is using 100% CPU, what should I do?

You should allocate more computing resources/cores to the instance.

What should I set the proxy\_pass variable to?

Typically you should set to http://youripaddress:your_port_number. Blockscout may not work if you set to http://0.0.0.0:your_port_number
