# The Mempool Open Source Project® [![mempool](https://img.shields.io/endpoint?url=https://dashboard.cypress.io/badge/simple/ry4br7/master&style=flat-square)](https://dashboard.cypress.io/projects/ry4br7/runs) https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/93150691/226236121-375ea64f-b4a1-4cc0-8fad-a6fb33226840.mp4
Mempool is the fully-featured mempool visualizer, explorer, and API service running at [mempool.space](https://mempool.space/). It is an open-source project developed and operated for the benefit of the Bitcoin community, with a focus on the emerging transaction fee market that is evolving Bitcoin into a multi-layer ecosystem. # Installation Methods Mempool can be self-hosted on a wide variety of your own hardware, ranging from a simple one-click installation on a Raspberry Pi full-node distro all the way to a robust production instance on a powerful FreeBSD server. **Most people should use a one-click install method.** Other install methods are meant for developers and others with experience managing servers. ## One-Click Installation Mempool can be conveniently installed on the following full-node distros: - [Umbrel](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel) - [RaspiBlitz](https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz) - [RoninDojo](https://code.samourai.io/ronindojo/RoninDojo) - [myNode](https://github.com/mynodebtc/mynode) - [Start9](https://github.com/Start9Labs/embassy-os) **We highly recommend you deploy your own Mempool instance this way.** No matter which option you pick, you'll be able to get your own fully-sovereign instance of Mempool up quickly without needing to fiddle with any settings. ## Advanced Installation Methods Mempool can be installed in other ways too, but we only recommend doing so if you're a developer, have experience managing servers, or otherwise know what you're doing. - See the [`docker/`](./docker/) directory for instructions on deploying Mempool with Docker. - See the [`backend/`](./backend/) and [`frontend/`](./frontend/) directories for manual install instructions oriented for developers. - See the [`production/`](./production/) directory for guidance on setting up a more serious Mempool instance designed for high performance at scale.
