p2pool/docker-compose

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

Uninstall

Change to p2pool/docker-compose directory
Stop and remove all containers: docker-compose down
Remove the p2pool data: docker volume rm p2pool
Remove the monero data: docker volume rm monero
