Monero P2Pool Docker Compose

Run your own Monero Node + P2Pool + XMRig in Docker

Instructions

Install docker and docker-compose

Install Docker
Install Docker Compose

Clone the P2Pool project

git clone --recursive https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool

Configure your Monero address for mining rewards

cd p2pool/docker-compose
vi .env

WALLET_ADDRESS is the only setting that needs to be updated in that file

Build the docker containers

docker-compose build

Run the node, pool, and CPU miner

docker-compose up

Optional

Open ports 18080 (Monero p2p port) and 37889 (P2Pool p2p port) or 37888 (P2Pool-mini p2p port) in your firewall to ensure better connectivity. If you're mining from a computer behind NAT (like a router) you could consider forwarding the ports to your local machine
An XMRig CPU miner is included by default, but you can connect additional miners to this same p2pool node using port 3333
Configure your kernel for maximum mining performance: XMRig RandomX Optimization Guide
Small miners can mine on p2pool-mini by editing the .env file

Other usefull commands

You can run everythng in the background by adding the "-d" argument to the "docker-compose up" command: docker-compose up -d
You can stop everything with CTRL-C or docker-compose down
You can see logs when running in the background for with the "docker logs" command: docker logs -f p2pool-xmrig or docker logs -f p2pool-p2pool or docker logs -f p2pool-monero
You can pause mining with: docker-compose pause xmrig and resume mining with: docker-compose unpause xmrig
You can disable mining with: docker-compose stop xmrig and re-enable mining with: docker-compose start xmrig
