Deploying Ocean Subgraph

About Ocean subgraph

Ocean subgraph allows querying the datatoken, dataNFT, and all event information using GraphQL. Hosting the Ocean subgraph saves the cost and time required in querying the data directly from the blockchain. The steps in this tutorial will explain how to host Ocean subgraph for the EVM compatible chains supported by Ocean Protocol.

Prerequisites

• A server for hosting Ocean subgraph. See this guide on creating a server.
• Docker and Docker compose are installed. Click here to view guide on installing docker.
• Obtain an API key

Create a working directory

mkdir ocean-subgraph
cd ocean-subgraph

Create a `.env` file

Copy the below content into the `.env` file and edit the values as needed.

{% code title=".env" %}

ETHEREUM_NODE_PROVIDER_API='rinkeby:https://rinkeby.infura.io/v3/${INFURA_PROJECT_ID}'

{% endcode %}

Create docker-compose file

{% code title="docker-compose.yml" %}

  graph-node:
    image: graphprotocol/graph-node:v0.26.0

      - '8040:8040'
    depends_on:

    ports:

    volumes:

  postgres:
    image: postgres
    ports:

    command: ['postgres', '-cshared_preload_libraries=pg_stat_statements']
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: graph-node
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: let-me-in
      POSTGRES_DB: graph-node
    volumes:
      - ./data/postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data

{% endcode %}
