BTW if you want to buy 512GB internal SSD, I have one for sale ;-)

Sorry, but this unexpected help I've got blew your business Cheesy

(However, I guess that I would have been buying from inside my country anyway if it would have been the case.)

I still cannot install plyvel, maybe I should install older python (now I have 3.10). Or I will try the solution with docker, is sounds really good.

It's an undersized Windows partition I am afraid to make bigger (or even join) because MS decided to make a recovery partition between my two useful ones from the (rather small) SSD.

I had similar issue recently, when I installed the image from smaller disk to bigger one. It created an empty space which I converted into partition, unfortunately after some time I realized it is too small for me, so I had to move the content into external drive, remove partition, move recovery partition to the end of disk, resize the base partition. Now I have one big, which has it's pros and cons.

Check this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/64219885. But 4.5GB is rather small compared with Windows itself and some popular application on Windows (such as Ms Office), so i wouldn't bother move it.

And.. yeah, LibreOffice is moved long ago, some other things too; I've even moved pagefile.sys.. so I was a bit desperate.

I've installed that app with chocolatey, ran the command line, got some warnings, but went through. Now that Debian is successfully moved to HDD, I don't even mind if it's slower.
All in all, that link is pretty much a life saver; Thank you.

I cannot install it because of problems with plyvel, it seems it is extremely not easy to have it installed. I haven't found any solution (nothing from https://github.com/wbolster/plyvel/issues/60 works for me)
-snip-

I'm not using ElectrumX but I've followed one of the solutions to install plyvel in the linked issue and one of the wheel from the unofficial repository worked.
Specifically this post: https://github.com/wbolster/plyvel/issues/60#issuecomment-737195891 (he dropped a "use at your own risk" warning though)

Code:

C:\Python\Python38_4testing>python -m pip install https://github.com/AustEcon/plyvel-wheels/releases/download/1.3.0/plyvel_wheels-1.3.0-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl

4.5GB should include installed Debian as well.

Indeed. It's basically WSL, Debian and the few things installed. The data folder for Electrs is on another partition.
Still I would have loved to have a way to put those 4.5 GB on the bigger disk, but I didn't find any way for it.

I do not really understand why I must encode my MasterPubKey in EPS config, but for now I will not change it.

I guess that's meant to be used only by you for your own addresses. And because of this block explorers cannot use it, hence I gave up EPS, although I've managed to make it work.

Eh, why it all cannot be just simple... I will check if it works with cygwin, but I am really tired of all that kung fu.

How about use electrumx docker image (https://github.com/lukechilds/docker-electrumx)? While i never tried the image on Windows, it's definitely easier to install docker rather than configure WSL/Debian.

The only problem I see on that WSL setup is the 4.5GB it's eating off my system drive. If you find a better (pure Windows) approach, please let us know (really, I am genuinely interested).

As I may have BitcoinCore, EPS and rpc-explorer on pure Windows, I will stay with that.

I know that feeling. I've spent a lot of time looking for solutions on Windows. And sooner or later I got stuck because something important was meant to work (only) under Linux.
I get pretty easily lost in Linux settings, hence I don't have anything starting automatically, still, I have now local Electrum and local block explorer I use for months.

If Electrs is OK for you (imho is one leap higher than EPS) and you are OK to install and use Windows subsystem for Linux, I've done a quite elaborate walktrough for
Bitcoin + Electrum server + Block explorer under Windows (with WSL and Debian)

It was my best shot for Electrum server that I can use under Windows.

Did someone manage to launch ElectrumX (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrumx) on Windows?
I cannot install it because of problems with plyvel, it seems it is extremely not easy to have it installed. I haven't found any solution (nothing from https://github.com/wbolster/plyvel/issues/60 works for me) so I gave up and for now I will switch to https://github.com/chris-belcher/electrum-personal-server, but still I am disappointed.
