# Bisq Daemon


The bisq daemon is the daemon bisq client that interacts with the bisq network. It is developed by the bisq DAO, not by the bas team. We simply grab it as it is and deploy it, with backups and monitoring to ensure the best operation.

## Repo

All the code necessary to deploy, monitor and backup a bas bisq daemon instance.

## Deploy

The bisq daemon is deployed by downloading the already-built daemon executable that gets packaged along bisq's releases.


## Backup

The data folder gets backed-up in real time via syncthing with oli. 


## Monitoring

The daemon is monitored by running the following command in cron in the daemon's host:

```bash
bisq_cli getversion && curl http://git.contrapeso.xyz:3001/api/push/5rs4qsvNPw?msg=OK&ping=
```

If a ping is not received within a 120 seconds window, a monitoring notification is sent.
