Launch it

Make sure that the container is running in privileged mode if you encounter the msr kernel module is not available error message. The following startup examples are already set to run in privileged mode. This does not work in a VM.

# launch docker container
docker run --privileged --name miner --rm -it \
    -e POOL_URL=<your pool url> \
    -e POOL_USER=<your public monero address> \
    -e PRIORITY=1 \
    -e THREADS=1 \
    ghcr.io/murf2/xmrig.docker:latest
