Instructions

Blockscout uses two-part path names for network urls: the first part (org) designates the organization/type of the network, the second part (netname) names the network. For example:
  • Eth mainnet: https://blockscout.com/eth/mainnet
    (org=eth, netname=mainnet)
  • Ethereum Classic mainnet: https://blockscout.com/etc/mainnet
    (org=etc, netname=mainnet)
  • Kovan testnet: https://blockscout.com/eth/kovan
    (org=eth, netname=kovan)

​
1. Add a new org for your blockscout instance’s url

1) Add a new acl under the #Check for network type section in the cfg file. 
#Check for network type
...
acl is_myorg path_beg -i /myorg
2) Add a corresponding exception !is_myorg to the #default redirect section 
# default redirect
redirect prefix /poa/xdai if !is_websocket !is_poa !is_etc !is_eth !is_lukso !is_rsk !is_myorg !is_cookie
3) add !is_myorg to every line in the #redirect for networks section 
#redirect for networks
redirect prefix /poa/core if !is_websocket !is_poa !is_etc !is_eth !is_lukso !is_rsk !is_myorg is_cookie_core
redirect prefix /poa/sokol if !is_websocket !is_poa !is_etc !is_eth !is_lukso !is_rsk !is_myorg is_cookie_sokol
# do this for every line
...

​
2. Add a new acl with your netname

In the #Check for network name section add a new acl with your netname similar to existing ones 
#Check for network name
...
acl is_mynet path_beg -i /myorg/mynet

#Check for cookies
...
acl is_cookie_mynet hdr_sub(cookie) network=mynet

#Default backends
...
use_backend mynet if is_mynet

#WebSocket backends
...
use_backend mynet_ws if is_cookie_mynet is_websocket

​
4. Add new backend sections to the end of the file

Add new backend_mynet and backend_mynet_ws sections to the end of the file and provide dns names of your BlockScout instances. For example: 
backend mynet
    #Proxy mode
    mode http

    #Backend queries should not have network prefix, so we delete it
    acl is_mynet path_beg /myorg/mynet
    reqirep ^([^\ ].*)myorg/mynet[/]?(.*) \1\2 if is_mynet

    #Setting headers to mask our query
    http-request set-header X-Forwarded-Host %[req.hdr(Host)]
    http-request set-header X-Client-IP %[src]
    http-request set-header Host my-blockscout-instance.com

    #Specifying cookie to insert
    cookie network insert

    #Server list. Format:
    #server <name> <address>:<port> cookie <network_name> check inter 60000 fastinter 1000 fall 3 rise 3 ssl verify none
    server mynet_server my-blockscout-instance.com:443 cookie mynet check inter 60000 fastinter 1000 fall 3 rise 3 ssl verify none

backend mynet_ws
    #Check if WebSocket request is correct
    acl hdr_websocket_key      hdr_cnt(Sec-WebSocket-Key)      eq 1
    acl hdr_websocket_version  hdr_cnt(Sec-WebSocket-Version)  eq 1
    http-request deny if ! hdr_websocket_key ! hdr_websocket_version

    #WebSockets should be forwarded, not http proxied
    option forwardfor

    #Setting headers to mask our query
    http-request set-header Host my-blockscout-instance.com
    http-request set-header Origin https://my-blockscout-instance.com

    #Specifying cookie to insert
    cookie network insert

    #Server list. Format:
    #server <name> <address>:<port> cookie <network_name> check inter 60000 fastinter 1000 fall 3 rise 3 check inter 60000 fastinter 1000 fall 3 rise 3 ssl verify none maxconn 30000
    server mynet_server my-blockscout-instance.com:443 cookie mynet check inter 60000 fastinter 1000 fall 3 rise 3 ssl verify none maxconn 30000
Change the following parameters to match your specific case
  • backend mynet:
    • acl is_...
    • reqirep ...
    • http-request set-header Host ...
    • server mynet_server... - don’t forget to specify port 443 here
  • backend mynet_ws:
    • http-request set-header Host...
    • http-request set-header Origin ... don’t forget https here
    • server mynet_server... - don’t forget port 443 here
