A Portal into the Polkadot and Substrate networks. Provides a view and interaction layer from a browser.
This can be accessed as a hosted application via https://polkadot.js.org/apps/ or you can access the IPFS hosted version via https://polkadot.js.org/apps/ipfs (via hash) or https://dotapps.io (via ipns) to explore any of the supported Polkadot and Substrate chains.
If you run one or more IPFS node(s), pinning the UI (which only gets updated on releases) will make it faster for you and others. You can find details about that below in the IPFS chapter below.
Important If you are a chain developer and would like to add support for your chain to the UI, all the local configuration (API types, settings, logos) can be customized in the apps-config package, complete with instructions of what goes where.
The repo is split into a number of packages, each representing an application.
Contributions are welcome!
To start off, this repo (along with others in the @polkadot family) uses yarn workspaces to organize the code. As such, after cloning dependencies should be installed via yarn
, not via npm, the latter will result in broken dependencies.
To get started -
git clone https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps <optional local path>
yarn
yarn run start
You can run a docker container via -
docker run --rm -it --name polkadot-ui -e WS_URL=ws://someip:9944 -p 80:80 jacogr/polkadot-js-apps:latest
To build a docker container containing local changes -
docker build -t jacogr/polkadot-js-apps -f docker/Dockerfile .
When using these Docker commands, you can access the UI via http://localhost:80 (or just http://localhost)
IPFS allows sharing files in a decentralized manner in a similar fashion the polkadot network exchanges blocks. IPFS works best when many nodes seed the same data. Nodes can seed specific data by pinning them.
You can pin with the following command:
curl -s https://polkadot.js.org/apps/ipfs/pin.json | jq -jr .IpfsHash | xargs -0 -I CID ipfs pin add --progress CID
Here is a script you can save as /usr/local/bin/polkadotjs-ipfs-pin.sh
:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
IPFS='/usr/local/bin/ipfs'
curl -s https://polkadot.js.org/apps/ipfs/pin.json | jq -jr .IpfsHash | xargs -0 -I CID $IPFS pin add --progress CID
I suggest to run the script once. The output should be similar to (the CID/Hash will very likely be different though):
$ /usr/local/bin/polkadotjs-ipfs-pin.sh
pinned QmNYAbzaE8kRAf68YiN3ZuUxgdwroeav3JhicsHsG5b2oW recursively
Now that you know the CID (hash), you can check whether the data is already pinned or not:
$ ipfs pin ls | grep QmNYAbzaE8kRAf68YiN3ZuUxgdwroeav3JhicsHsG5b2oW
QmNYAbzaE8kRAf68YiN3ZuUxgdwroeav3JhicsHsG5b2oW recursive
Now that we know it works, we can automate that with a cron task. Run crontab -e
.
If you see only comments, append the following to the file and save:
SHELL=/bin/bash
HOME=/
0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/polkadotjs-ipfs-pin.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
Now our script will run every hours at minute '0' (8:00, 9:00, etc...). To check, we can unpin temporarily:
$ ipfs pin rm QmNYAbzaE8kRAf68YiN3ZuUxgdwroeav3JhicsHsG5b2oW
unpinned QmNYAbzaE8kRAf68YiN3ZuUxgdwroeav3JhicsHsG5b2oW
Now asking for the CID confirms that is it not there.
$ ipfs pin ls QmNYAbzaE8kRAf68YiN3ZuUxgdwroeav3JhicsHsG5b2oW
Error: path 'QmNYAbzaE8kRAf68YiN3ZuUxgdwroeav3JhicsHsG5b2oW' is not pinned
Wait until the your cron task runs and try again:
$ ipfs pin ls QmNYAbzaE8kRAf68YiN3ZuUxgdwroeav3JhicsHsG5b2oW
QmNYAbzaE8kRAf68YiN3ZuUxgdwroeav3JhicsHsG5b2oW recursive
Tada! This is now automatic and you may forget it.
If you are curious and want to know how many people seed the UI on IPFS, here is the magic command (it may take a while to return the answer as ipfs will search for about 1 minute):
ipfs dht findprovs QmTejwB7mJPBHBoqubjzHSgSxfLMcjnZA3LFefqoQc87VJ | wc -l
If you are current about the content of what you just pinned, you may use the following command:
$ ipfs ls QmTejwB7mJPBHBoqubjzHSgSxfLMcjnZA3LFefqoQc87VJ

The main advantage of using Desktop App is that it by default stores encrypted accounts on the filesystem instead of browser's local storage. Local storage is susceptible to attacks using XSS (Cross-Site Scripting). There's no such risk when with files stored on disk.
The desktop app uses the Electron framework. It provides the same features as web app, the only difference being different account storage.
The accounts are stored in the following directories:
~/Library/Application Support/polkadot-apps/polkadot-accounts
~/.config/polkadot-apps/polkadot-accounts
(or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/polkadot-apps/polkadot-accounts
if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
is defined)%APPDATA%\polkadot-apps\polkadot-accounts
For more details on the desktop app, head over to Electron package README.
