docker run --runtime=nvidia --device=/dev/dri --device=/dev/kfd --group-add=video -it -d --name xmr-stak -p 8000:8000 -v xmr-stak-config:/config patsissons/xmr-stak:develop -o ca.minexmr.com:5555 -u 47NHecs6qjvDcbx3eW6cDGDwdm3gDqbHs7G8hzPYRxf3YRTcDJw8kXhDxfHinsjHUwVwdFusSn76UHkaz68KurUgHvFmPMH.github-xmr-stak -p x --currency monero --httpd 8000- A more comprehensive script to simplify the process of starting and uprading the miner. Running
sudo ./start-xmr-stak.shwill pull down the latest version while still mining, then stop and upgrade the container to resume mining with minimal downtime. If you want to use this script with the latestdevelopbuilds, runsudo ./start-xmr-stak.sh developinstead. The script is ready to accept overrides for a few environment variables to simplify multi-host distribution.
| Environment Variable | Default Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
ADDRESS |
N/A | make sure to replace the default with your own address or you will be mining to my address |
HOST |
hostname -s |
override this if you want a custom host name that is different from your actual host name |
PORT |
8000 |
if another container or process is already using port 8000 this can be adjusted |
POOL_HOST |
N/A | make sure to replace this with your own pool remote uri |
POOL_USER |
$ADDRESS.$HOST-$TAG |
adjust this to your needs |
POOL_PASS |
x |
adjust this to your needs |
CURRENCY |
monero |
adjust this to your needs |
Everything has been tested on Ubuntu 16 LTS (Xenial), but may also possibly work on Ubuntu 18 LTS (Bionic). For the most stable results, try and ensure your docker container environments match the host environment, especially for driver versions.
AMD requires only drivers installed on the host to interact with the hardware.
You need to have installed the AMDGPU-Pro drivers (17.40-514569) on the host machine and then run the docker image with --device=/dev/dri --device=/dev/kfd --group-add=video.
- check the status of the
amdgpu-prohost driver installation.
/opt/amdgpu-pro/bin/clinfo
- check the status of the docker integration
docker run -it --rm --device=/dev/dri --device=/dev/kfd --group-add=video --entrypoint=/bin/sh patsissons/xmr-stak -c /opt/amdgpu-pro/bin/clinfo
NVIDIA requires both a docker runtime and cuda drivers installed on the host to interact with the hardware.
You need to have already installed nvidia-docker to enable passthru on the nvidia card(s). You will also need to have the cuda-drivers (10.1) installed. Run the docker container with --runtime=nvidia to enable the NVIDIA passthrough.
Installing cuda drivers on Ubuntu 16 LTS is the easiest way to get things going. You can install the drivers with apt-get install --no-install-recommends cuda-drivers. Make sure to reboot after installing new drivers.
- check the status of the
cuda-drivershost driver installation.
/usr/bin/nvidia-smi
- check the status of the docker integration
docker run -it --rm --runtime=nvidia --entrypoint=/bin/sh patsissons/xmr-stak -c /usr/bin/nvidia-smi
