Luxor Relay

luxor-relay is a stratum-compatible proxy that assists with managing large scale ASIC deployments.

• Single connection for up to 65000 miners. This reduces the load on datacenter networking gear.
• Manages connection redundancy. If the pool disconnects, miners don't drop.
• Lower bandwidth - Relay compresses the miner shares by up to 90%.
• Improved efficiency and reduces stales.
• Incredible view of stratum statistics. Every share gets accounted for in our custom built dashboards.
• Simple setup. Just install docker and run docker compose up.
• Multi-tenancy - supports multiple usernames with a single Relay deployment.
• Low memory footprint - works on most devices.

Getting Started

To get started with Luxor Relay, there are a few requirements for your computer. We highly recommend setting up a machine on-premise in the datacenter.

First, we must install Docker. You can do that here.

The latest versions of Docker on certain operating systems includes docker-compose by default. However, some OS have docker-compose as a seperate package. You can view your operating system settings through the setup guide here.

Once Docker is installed, clone this repo into your local system:

git clone https://github.com/LuxorLabs/docker-stratum-relay.git

Then cd into the root directory:

cd docker-stratum-relay

Finally, you can bootup the entire Luxor Relay stack with docker-compose.

If you have a Docker instance with compose built in you can run:

docker compose up

If you have a Docker instance with a seperate docker-compose installation, you can run:

docker-compose up

Notice the main difference is the - which references the specific binary we're using.

To stop Luxor Relay at any time, just run docker compose down or docker-compose down, depending on your system setup.

You can also run the Docker containers in the background with:

docker compose up -d

Updating Miner Config

To switch the miners over to use the Relay, just update the Stratum URL:

<relay_ip_adr>:5010

System Requirements

The full Relay installation will require:

• 500Mb of disk space for the docker images
• 250Mb of memory for the Grafana + Prometheus metrics

Accessing the Dashboard

Luxor Relay comes with a full metrics suite for analyzing share data and hashrate efficiency. We use Grafana and VictoriaMetrics to achieve this. You can access the dashboard once the docker-compose stack is up by going to http://localhost:3010/d/relay/luxor-relay-metrics in your browser.

Happy hashing!
