I'm using docker, installed via https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
In general and on any config changes:
docker compose up -d --build
# optional, to check logs
docker compose logs -f
By default the pool is exposed on port 3448 (see docker-compose.yml).
There are a couple of configurations that need to be considered. We need a target address to mine to, and for that a wallet.dat needs to be present when peercoind is run.
Alternatively one may also choose to pre-generate a new wallet on the desktop client, note down the new address and then place it in the mounted volume mentioned below.
docker compose up -d peercoind
docker compose exec --user=peercoin peercoind peercoin-cli -datadir=/data -rpcuser=rpc -rpcpassword=rpc createwallet test false false '' false false
docker compose exec --user=peercoin peercoind peercoin-cli -datadir=/data -rpcuser=rpc -rpcpassword=rpc -rpcwallet=test getnewaddress
This will create
a) a wallet file inside the mounted docker volume (eg. /var/lib/docker/volumes/nomp-cps-wrapper_peercoind-data/_data/test/wallet.dat), so make sure to back this up somewhere safe
b) a new address to use for the pool config
In pool/app/pool_configs/peercoin.json the "address" field can be updated using your newly generated address.
Currently cgminer is built using CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -fcommon" ./autogen.sh --enable-gekko --without-curses.
/cgminer/Dockerfile can be updated with your hardware specific flags (see also https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer).
docker-compose.yml -> peercoind: contains a healthcheck section. Here is an alternative configuration for it:
The first arg check for blockcount, so this useful on startup, so that other services do not interfere while peercoin is syncing
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD", "healthcheck.sh", "730000"]
retries: 9999999999
General healthcheck to verify the service is booting and has connectivity at all
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD", "healthcheck.sh", "1"]
interval: 10s
timeout: 5s
retries: 3
