##Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This guide is two fold, ease of use for mining on Linux distributions and some extra security around mining as most of these miners have not had security auditing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the end of this guide you will be able to sleep a little easier knowing that if the miner gets exploited it will not migrate to your OS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###Why Docker
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Docker is being used as it is the most well known and has the biggest chance to be already installed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The container I an using is [alpine-xmrig](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnn/alpine-xmrig/) as per the name it is built on the [Alpine Linux](https://www.alpinelinux.org/) image.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###Why XMRig
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[XMRig](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig) is just a really solid miner to me. Nice output and statistics, no flashy web-ui's or dependencies. The XMRig container is only ~4MB what makes it extremely portable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
####Step 1: Mining with XMRig
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run the following
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# docker run --restart unless-stopped --read-only -m 50M -c 512 bitnn/alpine-xmrig -o POOL01 -o POOL02 -u WALLET -p PASSWORD -k
|
||
|
|
# docker run --restart unless-stopped --read-only -m 50M -c 512 bitnn/alpine-xmrig -o pool.supportxmr.com:7777 -u 45CJVagd6WwQAQfAkS91EHiTyfVaJn12uM4Su8iz6S2SHZ3QthmFM9BSPHVZY388ASWx8G9Wbz4BA24RQZUpGczb35fnnJz -p docker:secret -k
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
####Step 2: There is no Step 2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You have already done everything you need to do. You are now mining in a docker container with XMRig `ctrl+c` to exit the miner or add `-d` just after `docker run` to background the miner.
