This utility consisted of server backend and UI which manages the chia plot creation.
It uses the chia command line interface to start the plot.
It will schedule new plots when a plot finishes as specified by the configuration file.
The server backend does a cycle every minute and check if the configuraion file has been changed, if it detects that it has been changed then it reloads the configuration file.
Once a valid configuration file has been loaded then it will start one new plot per cycle.
##Installation
go install plotng/cmd/plotng
Please note that I've not tested this on Windows / Mac.
##Running Server (runs on the plotter)
plotng -config <json config file> -port <plotter port number, default: 8484>
Please note: chia enviornment should be activated before starting plotng
##Running UI (run anyway)
The UI can run on any host and point back to the server using the host and port parameter
plotng -ui -host <plotter host name or IP> -port <plotter port number, default: 8484>
##Configuration File (JSON format)
{
"Fingerprint": "636105213",
"NumberOfParallelPlots": 3,
"TempDirectory": ["/media/eddie/plot1", "/media/eddie/plot2", , "/media/eddie/plot3"],
"TargetDirectory": ["/media/eddie/dst1", "/media/eddie/dst2"],
"StaggeringDelay": 30,
"ShowPlotLog": false
}
###Settings
- Fingerprint : fingerprint passed to the chia command line tool
- NumberOfParallelPlots : number of parallel plots to create. Set to zero for orderly shutdown
- TempDirectory : list of plot directories / drives. The server process will choose the next directory path on the list and wraps to the beginning when it reaches the end.
- TargetDirectory : list destination directories / drives. The server process will choose the next directory path on the list and wraps to the beginning when it reaches the end.
- StaggeringDelay : when the TargetDirectory wraps to the beginning, it will delays the next plot create by the specified minutes.
- ShowPlotLog : shows the last 10 lines of the plot logs in the server log output.
