Navigator revamping plan about navigator-sia HOT 4 CLOSED

Features of the upcoming revamp:

• The operator can decide to use either SQL Server or SQLite (self-cointained) on a configuration file
• config.js files for both the block indexer and web frontend. Web will allow to change the address of the API server, colors, coin denominations and abbreviations, link to the repo, header title
• Main server (indexer + ngix webserver) and satellite (router+daemon) can be deployed as Docker containers. Docker repos and Dockerfile available
• Using my router technology, using two programs: main server and satellite (while both can be run on the same machine, of course)
• async/await for more clarity on the code
• Drops the explorer module to use consensus instead. The exception will be the hashrate and difficulty until Nebulous adds my feature request. These fields can be skipped in the config file for simplicity of the operator
• Database tables and indexes are created programmatically instead of manually
• UTXOs table
• AddressesBalance table
• Fixes the current edge minor issues with transactions, as us contracts and the timestamp of contract resolutions
• Detects automatically dev fees, if they exist on the blockchain
• Scalable REST server, including workers logic
• Raise the limit of 1000 addresses/contracts, by splitting the query in sub-queries of 1000 requests and reconciling them afterwards

Final user improvements:

• Raised limit of addresses/transactions
• No potential missing transactions due to dropping the explorer module (while anyone has ever showed me that the imprecisions of explorer really exist)
• Rich list and distribution profiling get enabled
• UTXOs search, for Lite client apps (like Ledger signing)
• (Permalinks for hosts reports)
• (Income/taxes reporting tool, generating a pdf report)

I need to handle graciously a new type of file revisions that do not have siacoin inputs or outputs. As an example, 39f8f82dac1de79c5f84f8f38408216cbd08a715807a662179cd7be7d00f4bcc on block 232606. They need to be indexed in spite of lacking info
