# CryptoNote Mining Pool
|
||||
|
||||
[Cryptocurrency miners](/recipies/cryptominer) will "pool" their GPU resources ("_hashpower_") into aggregate "_mining pools_", so that by the combined effort of all the miners, the pool will receive a reward for the blocks "mined" into the blockchain, and this reward will be distributed among the miners.
|
||||
|
||||
[CryptoNote](https://cryptonote.org/) is an open-source toolset designed to facilitate the creation of new privacy-focused [cryptocurrencies](https://cryptonote.org/coins)
|
||||
|
||||
(_CryptoNote = 'Kryptonite'. In a pool. Get it?_)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The fact that all these currencies share a common ancestry means that a common mining pool platform can be used for miners. The following recipes all use variations of [Dvandal's cryptonote-nodejs-pool ](https://github.com/dvandal/cryptonote-nodejs-pool)

# Athena Mining Pool
|
||||
|
||||
[Cryptocurrency miners](/recipies/cryptominer) will "pool" their GPU resources ("_hashpower_") into aggregate "_mining pools_", so that by the combined effort of all the miners, the pool will receive a reward for the blocks "mined" into the blockchain, and this reward will be distributed among the miners.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This recipe illustrates how to build a mining pool for [Athena](https://getathena.org), a newborn [CryptoNote](https://cryptonote.org/) [currency](https://cryptonote.org/coins) recently forked from [TurtleCoin](https://turtlecoin.lol)
|
||||
|
||||
The end result is a mining pool which looks like this: https://athx.heigh-ho.funkypenguin.co.nz/
|
||||
|
||||
!!! question "Isn't this just a copy/paste of your [TurtleCoin Pool Recipe](/recipies/turtle-pool/)?"
|
||||
|
||||
Why yes. Yes it is :) But it's adjusted for Athena, which uses different containers and wallet binary names, and it's running the improved [cryptonote-nodejs-pool software](https://github.com/dvandal/cryptonote-nodejs-pool), which is common to all the [cryptonote-mining-pool](/recipies/criptonote-mining-pool/) recipies!
|
||||
|
||||
## Ingredients
|
||||
|
||||
1. [Docker swarm cluster](/ha-docker-swarm/design/) with [persistent shared storage](/ha-docker-swarm/shared-storage-ceph.md)
|
||||
2. [Traefik](/ha-docker-swarm/traefik) configured per design
|
||||
3. DNS entry for the hostnames (_pool and api_) you intend to use, pointed to your [keepalived](ha-docker-swarm/keepalived/) IP
|
||||
4. At least 8GB disk space (2.5GB used, 6.5GB for future growth)
|
||||
|
||||
## Preparation
|
||||
|
||||
### Create user account
|
||||
|
||||
The Athena pool elements won't (_and shouldn't_) run as root, but they'll need access to write data to some parts of the filesystem (_like logs, etc_).
|
||||
|
||||
To manage access control, we'll want to create a local user on **each docker node** with the same UID.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
useradd -u 3508 athena-pool
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup Redis
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The pool uses Redis for in-memory and persistent storage.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! warning "Playing it safe"
|
||||
|
||||
Be aware that by default, Redis stores some data **only** in memory, and writes to the filesystem at default intervals (_can be up to 5 minutes by default_). Given we don't **want** to loose 5 minutes of miner's data if we restart Redis (_what happens if we found a block during those 5 minutes but haven't paid any miners yet?_), we want to ensure that Redis runs in "appendonly" mode, which ensures that every change is immediately written to disk.
|
||||
|
||||
We also want to make sure that we retain all Redis logs persistently (_We're dealing with people's cryptocurrency here, it's a good idea to keep persistent logs for debugging/auditing_)
|
||||
|
||||
Create directories to hold Redis data. We use separate directories for future flexibility - One day, we may want to backup the data but not the logs, or move the data to an SSD partition but leave the logs on slower, cheaper disk.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/athena-pool/redis/config
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/athena-pool/redis/data
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/athena-pool/redis/logs
|
||||
chown athena-pool /var/data/athena-pool/redis/data
|
||||
chown athena-pool /var/data/athena-pool/redis/logs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Create **/var/data/athena-pool/redis/config/redis.conf** using http://download.redis.io/redis-stable/redis.conf as a guide. The following are the values I changed from default on my deployment (_but I'm not a Redis expert!_):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
appendonly yes
|
||||
appendfilename "appendonly.aof"
|
||||
loglevel notice
|
||||
logfile "/logs/redis.log"
|
||||
protected-mode no
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
I also had to **disable** the following line, by commenting it out (_thus ensuring Redis container will respond to the other containers_):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
bind 127.0.0.1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup Nginx
|
||||
|
||||
We'll run a simple Nginx container to serve the static front-end of the web UI.
|
||||
|
||||
The simplest way to get the frontend is just to clone the upstream athena-pool repo, and mount the "/website" subdirectory into Nginx.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/funkypenguin/cryptonote-nodejs-pool.git /var/data/athena-pool/nginx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Edit **/var/data/athena-pool/nginx/website/config.js**, and change at least the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
var api = "https://<CHOOSE A FQDN TO USE FOR YOUR API>";
|
||||
var blockchainExplorer = "http://explorer.athx.org/?hash={id}#blockchain_block";
|
||||
var transactionExplorer = "http://explorer.athx.org/?hash={id}#blockchain_transaction";
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And optionally, set the following:
|
||||
```
|
||||
var telegram = "https://t.me/YourPool";
|
||||
var discord = "https://chat.funkypenguin.co.nz";
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup Athena daemon
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing we'll need to participate in the great and powerful Athena network is a **node**. The node is responsible for communicating with the rest of the nodes in the blockchain, allowing our miners to receive new blocks to try to find.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a directory to hold the blockchain data:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/runtime/athena-pool/daemon/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup Athena wallet
|
||||
|
||||
Our pool needs a wallet to be able to (a) receive rewards for blocks discovered, and (b) pay out our miners for their share of the reward.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
Under Athena, "walletd" was renamed to "services". I don't know why, but I've updated this recipe to reflect this.
|
||||
|
||||
Create directories to hold wallet data:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/athena-pool/services/config
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/athena-pool/services/services
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/athena-pool/services/logs
|
||||
chown -R athena-pool /var/data/athena-pool/wallet/services
|
||||
chown -R athena-pool /var/data/athena-pool/wallet/logs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now create the initial wallet. You'll want to secure your wallet password, so the command below will **prompt** you for the key (no output from the prompt), and insert it into an environment variable. This means that the key won't be stored in plaintext in your bash history!
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
read PASS
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After having entered your password (you can confirm by running ```env | grep PASS```), run the following to run the wallet daemon _once_, with the instruction to create a new wallet container:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
docker run \
|
||||
-v /var/data/athena-pool/wallet/container:/container \
|
||||
--rm -ti --entrypoint /usr/local/bin/services funkypenguin/athena \
|
||||
--container-file /container/wallet.container \
|
||||
--container-password $PASS \
|
||||
--generate-container
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You'll get a lot of output. The following are relevant lines from a successful run with the extra stuff stripped out:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Take careful note of your wallet password, public view key, and wallet address
|
||||
|
||||
Create **/var/data/athena-pool/services/config/services.conf**, containing the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
|
||||
container-file = /services/wallet.container
|
||||
container-password = <ENTER YOUR CONTAINER PASSWORD HERE>
|
||||
rpc-password = <CHOOSE A PASSWORD TO ALLOW POOL TO TALK TO WALLET>
|
||||
log-file = /dev/stdout
|
||||
log-level = 3
|
||||
daemon-address = daemon
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Set permissions appropriately:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
chown athena-pool /var/data/athena-pool/services/ -R
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup Athena mining pool
|
||||
|
||||
Following the convention we've set above, create directories to hold pool data:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/athena-pool/pool/config
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/athena-pool/pool/logs
|
||||
chown -R athena-pool /var/data/athena-pool/pool/logs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now create **/var/data/athena-pool/pool/config/config.json**, copying https://github.com/funkypenguin/cryptonote-nodejs-pool/blob/master/config_examples/monero.json, and modifying according to https://github.com/athena-network/athena-pool/blob/master/config.json, adjusting at least the following:
|
||||
|
||||
Send logs to /logs/, so that they can potentially be stored / backed up separately from the config:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"logging": {
|
||||
"files": {
|
||||
"level": "debug",
|
||||
"directory": "/logs",
|
||||
"flushInterval": 5
|
||||
},
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Set the "poolAddress" field to your wallet address
|
||||
```
|
||||
"poolServer": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"clusterForks": "auto",
|
||||
"poolAddress": "<SET THIS TO YOUR WALLET ADDRESS GENERATED ABOVE>",
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add the "host" value to the api section, since our API will run on its own container, and choose a password you'll use for the webUI admin page
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"api": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"hashrateWindow": 600,
|
||||
"updateInterval": 5,
|
||||
"port": 8117,
|
||||
"blocks": 30,
|
||||
"payments": 30,
|
||||
"password": "<PASSWORD FOR ADMIN PAGE ACCESS>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Set the host value for the daemon:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"daemon": {
|
||||
"host": "daemon",
|
||||
"port": 11898
|
||||
},
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Set the host value for the wallet, and set your container password (_you recorded it earlier, remember?_)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"wallet": {
|
||||
"host": "services",
|
||||
"port": 8079,
|
||||
"password": "<SET ME TO YOUR WALLET RPC PASSWORD>"
|
||||
},
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Set the host value for Redis:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"redis": {
|
||||
"host": "redis",
|
||||
"port": 6379
|
||||
},
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That's it! The above config files mean each element of the pool will be able to communicate with the other elements within the docker swarm, by name.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup Docker Swarm
|
||||
|
||||
Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
!!! tip
|
||||
I share (_with my [patreon patrons](https://www.patreon.com/funkypenguin)_) a private "_premix_" git repository, which includes necessary docker-compose and env files for all published recipes. This means that patrons can launch any recipe with just a ```git pull``` and a ```docker stack deploy``` 👍

|

|

!!! note
|
||||
Setup unique static subnets for every stack you deploy. This avoids IP/gateway conflicts which can otherwise occur when you're creating/removing stacks a lot. See [my list](/reference/networks/) here.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Serving
|
||||
|
||||
### Athena is a go!
|
||||
|
||||
Launch the Athena pool stack by running ```docker stack deploy athena-pool -c <path -to-docker-compose.yml>```, and then run ```"```docker stack ps athena-pool``` to ensure the stack has come up properly. (_See [troubleshooting](/reference/troubleshooting) if not_)
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing that'll happen is that Athena will start syncing the blockchain. You can watch this happening with ```docker service logs athena-pool_daemon -f```. While the daemon is syncing, it won't respond to requests, so services, the pool, etc will be non-functional.
|
||||
|
||||
You can watch the various elements of the pool doing their thing, by running ```tail -f /var/data/athena-pool/pool/logs/*.log```
|
||||
|
||||
### So how do I mine to it?
|
||||
|
||||
That.. is another recipe. Start with the "[CryptoMiner](/recipes/cryptominer/)" uber-recipe for GPU/rig details, grab a copy of [xmr-stack](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak), use the same parameters as TurtleCoin, and follow your nose. Jump into the Athena discord (_below_) #mining channel for help.
|
||||
|
||||
### What to do if it breaks?
|
||||
|
||||
Athena is a newborn cryptocurrency, and the [destiny of the coin is not yet clear](https://github.com/athena-network/athx-research/issues/1).
|
||||
|
||||
Jump into the [Athena Discord server](http://chat.athx.org) to ask questions, contribute.
|
||||
|
||||
## Chef's Notes
|
||||
|
||||
1. Because Docker Swarm performs ingress NAT for its load-balanced "routing mesh", the source address of inbound miner traffic is rewritten to a (_common_) docker node IP address. This means it's [not possible to determine the actual source IP address](https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/25526) of a miner. Which, in turn, means that any **one** misconfigured miner could trigger an IP ban, and lock out all other miners for 5 minutes at a time.
|
||||
|
||||
Two possible solutions to this are (1) disable banning, or (2) update the pool banning code to ban based on a combination of IP address and miner wallet address. I'll be working on a change to implement #2 if this becomes a concern.
|
||||
|
||||
2. The traefik labels in the docker-compose are to permit automatic LetsEncrypt SSL-protected proxying of your pool UI and API addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Astute readers will note that although I set permissions to the "athena-pool" user above, those permissions are not **actually** enforced in the .yml file (yet)

# Masari Mining Pool
|
||||
|
||||
[Cryptocurrency miners](/recipies/cryptominer) will "pool" their GPU resources ("_hashpower_") into aggregate "_mining pools_", so that by the combined effort of all the miners, the pool will receive a reward for the blocks "mined" into the blockchain, and this reward will be distributed among the miners.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This recipe illustrates how to build a mining pool for [Masari](https://getmasari.org), one of many [CryptoNote](https://cryptonote.org/) [currencies](https://cryptonote.org/coins) (_which include [Monero](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/monero)_), but the principles can be applied to most mineable coins.
|
||||
|
||||
The end result is a mining pool which looks like this: https://msr.heigh-ho.funkypenguin.co.nz/
|
||||
|
||||
!!! question "Isn't this just a copy/paste of your Masari Pool Recipe?"
|
||||
|
||||
Why yes. Yes it is :) But it's adjusted for Masari, which uses different containers and wallet binary names, and it's running the improved [cryptonote-nodejs-pool software](https://github.com/dvandal/cryptonote-nodejs-pool), which is common to all the [cryptonote-mining-pool](/recipies/criptonote-mining-pool/) recipies!
|
||||
|
||||
## Ingredients
|
||||
|
||||
1. [Docker swarm cluster](/ha-docker-swarm/design/) with [persistent shared storage](/ha-docker-swarm/shared-storage-ceph.md)
|
||||
2. [Traefik](/ha-docker-swarm/traefik) configured per design
|
||||
3. DNS entry for the hostnames (_pool and api_) you intend to use, pointed to your [keepalived](ha-docker-swarm/keepalived/) IP
|
||||
4. At least 16GB disk space (12GB used, 4GB for future growth)
|
||||
|
||||
## Preparation
|
||||
|
||||
### Create user account
|
||||
|
||||
The Masari pool elements won't (_and shouldn't_) run as root, but they'll need access to write data to some parts of the filesystem (_like logs, etc_).
|
||||
|
||||
To manage access control, we'll want to create a local user on **each docker node** with the same UID.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
useradd -u 3507 masari-pool
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup Redis
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The pool uses Redis for in-memory and persistent storage. This comes in handy for the Docker Swarm deployment, since while the various pool modules weren't _designed_ to run as microservices, the fact that they all rely on Redis for data storage makes this possible.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! warning "Playing it safe"
|
||||
|
||||
Be aware that by default, Redis stores some data **only** in memory, and writes to the filesystem at default intervals (_can be up to 5 minutes by default_). Given we don't **want** to loose 5 minutes of miner's data if we restart Redis (_what happens if we found a block during those 5 minutes but haven't paid any miners yet?_), we want to ensure that Redis runs in "appendonly" mode, which ensures that every change is immediately written to disk.
|
||||
|
||||
We also want to make sure that we retain all Redis logs persistently (_We're dealing with people's cryptocurrency here, it's a good idea to keep persistent logs for debugging/auditing_)
|
||||
|
||||
Create directories to hold Redis data. We use separate directories for future flexibility - One day, we may want to backup the data but not the logs, or move the data to an SSD partition but leave the logs on slower, cheaper disk.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/masari-pool/redis/config
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/masari-pool/redis/data
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/masari-pool/redis/logs
|
||||
chown masari-pool /var/data/masari-pool/redis/data
|
||||
chown masari-pool /var/data/masari-pool/redis/logs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Create **/var/data/masari-pool/redis/config/redis.conf** using http://download.redis.io/redis-stable/redis.conf as a guide. The following are the values I changed from default on my deployment (_but I'm not a Redis expert!_):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
appendonly yes
|
||||
appendfilename "appendonly.aof"
|
||||
loglevel notice
|
||||
logfile "/logs/redis.log"
|
||||
protected-mode no
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
I also had to **disable** the following line, by commenting it out (_thus ensuring Redis container will respond to the other containers_):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
bind 127.0.0.1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup Nginx
|
||||
|
||||
We'll run a simple Nginx container to serve the static front-end of the web UI.
|
||||
|
||||
The simplest way to get the frontend is just to clone the upstream masari-pool repo, and mount the "/website" subdirectory into Nginx.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/turtlecoin/turtle-pool.git /var/data/masari-pool/nginx/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Edit **/var/data/masari-pool/nginx/website/config.js**, and change at least the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
var api = "https://<CHOOSE A FQDN TO USE FOR YOUR API>";
|
||||
var poolHost = "<SET TO THE PUBLIC DNS NAME FOR YOUR POOL SERVER";
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup Masari daemon
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing we'll need to participate in the great and powerful Masari network is a **node**. The node is responsible for communicating with the rest of the nodes in the blockchain, allowing our miners to receive new blocks to try to find.
|
||||
|
||||
Create directories to hold the blockchain data for all 3 daemons:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/runtime/masari-pool/daemon/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup Masari wallet
|
||||
|
||||
Our pool needs a wallet to be able to (a) receive rewards for blocks discovered, and (b) pay out our miners for their share of the reward.
|
||||
|
||||
Create directories to hold wallet data
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/masari-pool/wallet/config
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/masari-pool/wallet/container
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/masari-pool/wallet/logs
|
||||
chown -R masari-pool /var/data/masari-pool/wallet/container
|
||||
chown -R masari-pool /var/data/masari-pool/wallet/logs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now create the initial wallet. You'll want to secure your wallet password, so the command below will **prompt** you for the key (no output from the prompt), and insert it into an environment variable. This means that the key won't be stored in plaintext in your bash history!
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
read PASS
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After having entered your password (you can confirm by running ```env | grep PASS```), run the following to run the wallet daemon _once_, with the instruction to create a new wallet container:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
docker run \
|
||||
-v /var/data/masari-pool/wallet/wallet:/wallet \
|
||||
--rm -ti --entrypoint /usr/local/bin/masari-wallet-cli funkypenguin/masari \
|
||||
--password $PASS \
|
||||
--generate-new-wallet /wallet/wallet \
|
||||
--mnemonic-language English \
|
||||
--command do-nothing-and-exit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You'll get a lot of output. The following are relevant lines from a successful run with the extra stuff stripped out:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[root@ds3 ~]# docker run \
|
||||
> -v /var/data/masari-pool/wallet/wallet:/wallet \
|
||||
> --rm -ti --entrypoint /usr/local/bin/masari-wallet-cli funkypenguin/masari \
|
||||
> --password $PASS \
|
||||
> --generate-new-wallet /wallet/wallet \
|
||||
> --mnemonic-language English \
|
||||
> --command do-nothing-and-exit
|
||||
This is the command line masari wallet. It needs to connect to a masari daemon to work correctly.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Take careful note of your wallet password, public view key, and wallet address
|
||||
|
||||
Create **/var/data/masari-pool/wallet/config/wallet.conf**, containing the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
wallet-file = /wallet/wallet
|
||||
password = <ENTER YOUR CONTAINER PASSWORD HERE>
|
||||
rpc-password = <CHOOSE A PASSWORD TO ALLOW POOL TO TALK TO WALLET>
|
||||
log-file = /dev/stdout
|
||||
log-level = 1
|
||||
daemon-host = daemon
|
||||
rpc-bind-port = 38082
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Set permissions appropriately:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
chown masari-pool /var/data/masari-pool/wallet/ -R
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup Masari mining pool
|
||||
|
||||
Following the convention we've set above, create directories to hold pool data:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/masari-pool/pool/config
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/masari-pool/pool/logs
|
||||
chown -R masari-pool /var/data/masari-pool/pool/logs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now create **/var/data/masari-pool/pool/config/config.json**, using https://github.com/masaricoin/masari-pool/blob/master/config.json as a guide, and adjusting at least the following:
|
||||
|
||||
Send logs to /logs/, so that they can potentially be stored / backed up separately from the config:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"logging": {
|
||||
"files": {
|
||||
"level": "debug",
|
||||
"directory": "/logs",
|
||||
"flushInterval": 5
|
||||
},
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Set the "poolAddress" field to your wallet address
|
||||
```
|
||||
"poolServer": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"clusterForks": "auto",
|
||||
"poolAddress": "<SET THIS TO YOUR WALLET ADDRESS GENERATED ABOVE>",
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add the "host" value to the api section, since our API will run on its own container, and choose a password you'll use for the webUI admin page
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"api": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"hashrateWindow": 600,
|
||||
"updateInterval": 5,
|
||||
"host": "pool-api",
|
||||
"port": 8117,
|
||||
"blocks": 30,
|
||||
"payments": 30,
|
||||
"password": "<PASSWORD FOR ADMIN PAGE ACCESS>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Set the host value for the daemon:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"daemon": {
|
||||
"host": "daemon",
|
||||
"port": 38081
|
||||
},
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Set the host value for the wallet, and set your container password (_you recorded it earlier, remember?_)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"wallet": {
|
||||
"host": "wallet",
|
||||
"port": 38082,
|
||||
"password": "<SET ME TO YOUR WALLET RPC PASSWORD>"
|
||||
},
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Set the host value for Redis:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"redis": {
|
||||
"host": "redis",
|
||||
"port": 6379
|
||||
},
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That's it! The above config files mean each element of the pool will be able to communicate with the other elements within the docker swarm, by name.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup Docker Swarm
|
||||
|
||||
Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
!!! tip
|
||||
I share (_with my [patreon patrons](https://www.patreon.com/funkypenguin)_) a private "_premix_" git repository, which includes necessary docker-compose and env files for all published recipes. This means that patrons can launch any recipe with just a ```git pull``` and a ```docker stack deploy``` 👍

```
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
Setup unique static subnets for every stack you deploy. This avoids IP/gateway conflicts which can otherwise occur when you're creating/removing stacks a lot. See [my list](/reference/networks/) here.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Serving
|
||||
|
||||
### Launch the Turtle! 🐢
|
||||
|
||||
Launch the Turtle pool stack by running ```docker stack deploy masari-pool -c <path -to-docker-compose.yml>```, and then run ```"```docker stack ps masari-pool``` to ensure the stack has come up properly. (_See [troubleshooting](/reference/troubleshooting) if not_)
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing that'll happen is that Masarid will start syncing the blockchain from the bootstrap data. You can watch this happening with ```docker service logs masari-pool_daemon -f```. While the daemon is syncing, it won't respond to requests, so walletd, the pool, etc will be non-functional.
|
||||
|
||||
You can watch the various elements of the pool doing their thing, by running ```tail -f /var/data/masari-pool/pool/logs/*.log```
|
||||
|
||||
### So how do I mine to it?
|
||||
|
||||
That.. is another recipe. Start with the "[CryptoMiner](/recipes/cryptominer/)" uber-recipe for GPU/rig details, grab a copy of xmr-stack (_patched for the forked Masari_) from https://github.com/masaricoin/trtl-stak/releases, and follow your nose. Jump into the Masari discord (_below_) #mining channel for help.
|
||||
|
||||
### What to do if it breaks?
|
||||
|
||||
Masari is a baby cryptocurrency. There are scaling issues to solve, and large amounts components of this recipe are under rapid development. So, elements may break/change in time, and this recipe itself is a work-in-progress.
|
||||
|
||||
Jump into the [Masari Discord server](http://chat.masaricoin.lol/) to ask questions, contribute, and send/receive some TRTL tips!

1. Because Docker Swarm performs ingress NAT for its load-balanced "routing mesh", the source address of inbound miner traffic is rewritten to a (_common_) docker node IP address. This means it's [not possible to determine the actual source IP address](https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/25526) of a miner. Which, in turn, means that any **one** misconfigured miner could trigger an IP ban, and lock out all other miners for 5 minutes at a time.
|
||||
|
||||
Two possible solutions to this are (1) disable banning, or (2) update the pool banning code to ban based on a combination of IP address and miner wallet address. I'll be working on a change to implement #2 if this becomes a concern.
|
||||
|
||||
2. The traefik labels in the docker-compose are to permit automatic LetsEncrypt SSL-protected proxying of your pool UI and API addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
3. After a [power fault in my datacenter caused daemon DB corruption](https://www.reddit.com/r/TRTL/comments/8jftzt/funky_penguin_nz_mining_pool_down_with_daemon/), I added a second daemon, running in parallel to the first. The failsafe daemon runs once an hour, syncs with the running daemons, and shuts down again, providing a safely halted version of the daemon DB for recovery.
