Catcher

Use

To start single catcher:

./bin/catcher config.json start

To start and keep running desired number of catchers use systemd or docker.

Here are recommended systemd configuration files.

Main Configuration File

{
    "mainRefreshPeriod": {"minutes": 1},
    "domainsCheckPeriod": {"minutes": 10},
    "domainsReloadPeriod": {"minutes": 3},

    "domainsFilePath": "etc/my-domains.json",

    "epp": {
        "host":         "epp.verisign-grs.com",
        "port":         700,
        "bind":         "1.2.3.4",
        "login":        "mylogin",
        "password":     "mypassword",
        "certfile":     "ssl/my.com.cert",
        "keyfile":      "ssl/my.com.key",
        "ca_certs":     "ssl/my.com.intermediate"
    }
}

Domains List File

{
    "facebook.com": {
        "since": "2018-08-01 01:01:01",
        "weight": 100
    },
    "google.com": {
        "since": "2018-08-01 15:03:01",
        "weight": 200
    },
    "yahoo.com": {
        "since": "3018-08-01 15:04:30",
        "weight": 900
    },
    "example.com": {
        "since": "2018-08-01 15:03:01",
        "weight": 200,
        "taken-by": "regid"
    }
}

How it works

• Reads main configuration file
• Reads domain list file (rereads periodically)
• Established single EPP connection
• Sends as many domain:register commands as possible
• Periodically checks domains list to mark already registered domains
• Exits after configured period of time (set it to maximum allowed time for EPP connection)
