1. Running DEX Installer

• update system and install privacy packages (one time needed)
• Update system and install tor, proxychains4 and wget privacy packages on Debian or Ubuntu based distributions by using apt and su or sudo:

pkgs="proxychains4 tor torsocks wget";
groups | grep debian-tor > /dev/null && cfg_user_tor="echo 'Tor for ${USER} is already configured'" || cfg_user_tor="usermod -a -G debian-tor ${USER}";
sudo -v; (test $? != 0) && su_cmd="echo 'Please enter ROOT password'; su - -c" || su_cmd="echo 'Please enter ${USER} sudo password'; sudo sh -c";
eval "${su_cmd} \"apt -y update; apt -y full-upgrade; apt -y install ${pkgs}; ${cfg_user_tor}; exit\""

• download or update installer
• installer is downloaded anonymously and verified if digital fingerprint match

branch="main" && mkdir -p ~/dexsetup && cd ~/dexsetup && rm -f installer.sh && rm -f installer.sha512 && proxychains4 wget "https://github.com/nnmfnwl/dexinstaller/raw/refs/heads/${branch}/installer.sh" && proxychains4 wget "https://github.com/nnmfnwl/dexinstaller/raw/refs/heads/${branch}/installer.sha512" && sha512sum installer.sh | grep `cat installer.sha512` && (echo "installer fingerprint verification success") || (sha512sum installer.sh; echo "installer fingerprint verification failed"; rm -f installer.sh)

• run installer in full interactive mode:

cd ~/dexsetup && bash installer.sh

• run installer in automatic deployment mode:
• Alternative examples to run DEX installer in automatic(non-interactive) mode with custom arguments could be found here: Additional resources

2. Remote desktop management with VNC

• Open secured SSH tunnel between client and server(replace 10.10.10.10X with real IP address)

ssh -L 5923:127.0.0.1:5903 10.10.10.10X -N

• Use Remmina or any other VNC client to connect to server

remmina -c vnc://127.0.0.1:5923

3. Directory structure

• All downloaded, generated files, and management scripts are stored at ~/dexsetup

tree -d -L 4 ~/dexsetup/ | less

• Blockchains are using default chain data directories like ~/.litecoin, ~/.blocknet, ~/.bitcoin etc...

ls -lah ~/.bitcoin ~/.litecoin/ ~/.blocknet

• Proxychains configuration file been updated at ~/.proxychains/proxychains.conf

less ~/.proxychains/proxychains.conf

4. Start, Attach, Navigate and Detach from installed dexsetup environment by terminal

• To start main CLI start script which opens management only by console interface:

cd ~/dexsetup/dexsetup/ && ./start.screen.instance_default.cli.sh

• To start main start GUI script which opens management by console interface and graphical user interface wallets as well:

cd ~/dexsetup/dexsetup/ && ./start.screen.instance_default.gui.sh

• To Attach to dexsetup management by GNU Screen terminal multiplexer console interface

screen -x

• To list and navigate screen tabs/windows use shortcut CTRL + a ^ " (hold CTRL and push a, release CTRL and then push ", which is probably activated as shift+")
• To detach and keep running applications inside screen the console multiplexer use keyboard shortcut CTRL + a ^ d
• All screen terminal multiplexer tabs are nicely named with predefined commands, and user just use enter to confirm commands depending on what is needed

5. Using Blocknet(BLOCK) with Litecoin(LTC) dexbot trading strategy 1 generated by installer

5.1.1. Start and sync Blocknet and Litecoin DEX wallet profiles

• Start Blocknet DEX wallet profile, component block_dex with already predefined command:

./firejail.blocknet.wallet_block_dex.qt.bin.sh

• Start Litecoin DEX wallet profile, component ltc_dex with already predefined command:

./firejail.litecoin.wallet_ltc_dex.qt.bin.sh

5.1.2. Start and sync Blocknet and Litecoin DEX wallet profiles - additional resources

• Wallet sync status check by GUI or component _cli using command:

./getblockchaininfo.basics

• Wallet unlock status check by GUI or component _cli using command:

./getwalletinfo.basic

• Security recommendation is to to encrypt wallet first by GUI or component _cli using command:

./encrypt

• Backup wallet on external drive or another machine by GUI menu or component _cli using command:

./backup

• To unlock encrypted wallet by GUI menu or component _cli using command:

./unlock.full

5.2.1. Mandatory finalization and tuning BLOCK/LTC strategy 1

• After successful strategy installation, re-installation or update, it must be finalized manually by text editor to be able to be used, because it must be always specified trading address per bot strategy.
• To finalize by installer generated BLOCK/LTC default trading strategy1, it must edit two files:

editor=geany; ${editor} ~/dexsetup/dexbot/git.src/strategy_BLOCK_LTC_strategy1.py & ${editor} ~/dexsetup/dexbot/git.src/strategy_LTC_BLOCK_strategy1.py

• To finalize and make strategy usable, blocknet01 and litecoin01 string must be replaced with valid wallet addresses.

    "--makeraddress blocknet01"
    "--takeraddress litecoin01"

5.2.2. Mandatory finalization and tuning BLOCK/LTC strategy 1 - Additional resources

• To generate new wallet address by using GUI menu or component _cli using command:

./getnewaddress.default

• By default all generated strategy could be found at ~/dexsetup/dexbot/git.src/ with prefix strategy

cd ~/dexsetup/dexbot/git.src/ && ls -la | grep strategy | grep .py

• Every generated strategy is easy readable well documented configuration based on DEXBOT template generated as mix with specific strategy trading pair configuration BLOCK/LTC , BTC/LTC ...
• Final strategy tuning is easy but most effective way would be to write own strategy trading pair configuration for dexsetup which could be easy shared used again and again.

5.3.1. Strategy Start, Strategy Stop and Orders Cleaning

• Start DEXBOT pricing proxy component first

./run.firejail.proxy.sh

• Start DEXBOT BLOCK LTC trading strategy1 component:

./run.firejail.BLOCK.LTC.strategy1.sh 

• Start DEXBOT LTC BLOCK trading strategy1 component:

./run.firejail.LTC.BLOCK.strategy1.sh

• Stop and Clean DEXBOT BLOCK LTC trading strategy1 component by Control + Z and:

./run.firejail.BLOCK.LTC.strategy1.sh  --canceladdress

• Stop and Clean DEXBOT LTC BLOCK trading strategy1 component by Control + Z and:

./run.firejail.LTC.BLOCK.strategy1.sh  --canceladdress

• Start DEXBOT BLOCK LTC trading strategy1 component after manually adding or removing funds from specified address by:

./run.firejail.BLOCK.LTC.strategy1.sh  --reset

• Start DEXBOT LTC BLOCK trading strategy1 component after manually adding or removing funds from specified address by:

./run.firejail.LTC.BLOCK.strategy1.sh  --reset

5.3.2. Strategy Start, Strategy Stop and Orders Cleaning - Additional resources

• Start BlockDX - Decentralized Exchange Graphical User Interface by blockdx component:

./firejail.blockdx.default.sh
