Moralis Self-Hosted Server Update

[PatrickAlphaC]

Hi All!

For those of you who get to Lesson 15, it looks as such:

We do 90% of the coding with a moralis server
Then we use the graph
However, Moralis recently updated to a self-hosted server model (they no longer run the servers or databases) and we'd have to set people up with mongoDB, and have them run their own servers locally.

I feel like this adds a lot of extra work that I wasn't originally planning on having participants do...

What are your thoughts?

1. Have users follow along with the moralis section, but not implement the server parts and just do the graph stuff
2. Make an update for a self-hosted server

I'm leaning to 1, but what do you all think?

[pacelliv]

Personally I don't mind the extra work but as a beginner I don't know if learning to set a Moralis self-hosted server is a must learn. I'd like to read some opinions before making a decision.

[PatrickAlphaC]

It's not a must learn .

[alymurtazamemon]

@PatrickAlphaC Most people do not come from the backend development side, and it is obvious you will not cover the backend development in order to teach them a self-hosted server. So I think it would be better if they learned the things from that section(all things were important) and move to the graph section.

[PatrickAlphaC]

hmmmmm... Yeah... Maybe a "hey you don't need to code along for this section"

[mattjaf]

I would love to see Patrick do some cool stuff with self-hosted moralis servers and v2

[pablote]

I seems like the order of the course could/should be inverted now. Do the "90% of the coding" with the graph, and then after, show how this could be done with a self hosted moralis v2 server. Or maybe just not do the second moralis part at all.

[ljzbtc]

I agree this is a nice way.

[ShawnFromTexas]

this is the way.

[PatrickAlphaC]

Ok, I know the vote is slightly for making an updated video, but I don't think it's worth it.

I will make the call to tell users they can follow along, but using the graph code is easier to follow along with. If users want to learn how to run their own self-hosted graph servers, awesome.

[xdarksamusx]

Wow! I just got this section, and was trying to figure out how to create local dev server. I am glad I searched for this issue first. THanks Patrick for the update.

[TotalingArc]

Yea Idk what happen with moralis, shame really.

[mattjaf]

I heard you can plug your self-hosted moralis server in to the GUI and interact with it normally using the v1 commands, I've yet to dive into it.

It might turn out to be better for the user in the long run, although it was nice having the convenience to just be able to click "create dapp" and you were good to go.

[TotalingArc]

I worked long time on v1, user friendly ,simple, now idk what lol, guess I better pick up some new programming languages. For mass adoption convenience works. Moralis just chose the google way.

Do we need to get code from the Moralis section (in the video) in order to start the graph section? Or can we just follow along and then start coding in the graph section starting at timestamp 1:03:57:26? I noticed the scripts are not included in the repo.. so I'm having trouble starting the graph project.

[alymurtazamemon]

@outerspacesoph No, you do not need any script from the moralis section in order to start the graph section. Let me know which scripts you are not finding.

[outerspacesoph]

I found the scripts thank you :)

[dashDebasis123]

I have come across the same problem where I am not able to create self hosted moralis server so when I was looking into the code of Graph section there I found that one of the JS file they have used the App Id and server Url. So whats your view @alymurtazamemon ??

[TotalingArc]

With moralis or ganache?

Hi, i think it could be cool if Patrick do us a favor to make a seperate video for self-hosted server and anyone who is interested can watch the video

[stshelton]

https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/141264/how-to-connect-a-local-hardhat-contract-with-the-new-version-of-moralis-stream it seems like you can't use stream API to get events emitted from local hardhat chain. Is there a workaround so we can deveop locally? I'd rather not push to a dev chain.

[picozzimichele]

Personal opinion:

Either updated version using the new API keys and calls, or self hosted server (might be more complex and overkill to be honest).

I ve been coding for a while, so I want to say people that grind through and arrive at lesson 15th shouldnt be beginners, however having a Firebase style tutorial with Moralis would be super useful :)

[eugenekhoo1]

has a new/updated video been posted for using moralis??

[PatrickAlphaC]

No, please skip that section.

[silent7-x]

Hello looks like

"Make an updated self-hosted server tutorial"

won.

Is the video available? cuz I tried for days to do it by myself with moralis tutorial content and i'm still strugling. Looks like ngrok tunnel not working on my side: I got an ngrok link on my parse-server // and an other one when launching ngrok http 1337

If anyone has the ressource to do so, your help is appreciated.

Thanks

[pacelliv]

@mo7tr, from Moralis: https://moralis.io/how-to-set-up-a-self-hosted-web3-server/.

[silent7-x]

thanks i'll take a look here, didn't see this ressource so far
