Quick start to launch a full node mining environment for KAS(Kaspa) with Stratum via docker-compose.
This guide is primarly inteded for Kaspa miners who would like to solo mine Kaspa with lolminer.
( Note This guide, and the docker-compose files within, have only been tested on an Intel chip OSX. If you are using another platform and decide to give it a go, let me know your success/failures so that I can improve the guide. )
- Docker / docker-compose: Install here
git clone https://github.com/JeffNeff/Kaspa-Full-Node-Mining-Quick-Start.git
cd Kaspa-Full-Node-Mining-Quick-Start
./tldr.sh
After your node has synced with the network jump to Start Mining and follow the instructions there.
I have included two Dockerfiles that you can use to build these images. Note That these Dockerfiles to pull from the main branch of the kaspad and KStratum repos and then builds the images. So it is very possible that breaking changes will occur in the future. If so try altering the Dockerfile(s) to pull from a tagged release.
Build the kaspad image:
cd kaspad && docker build -t kaspad .
Build the kstratum image:
cd kstratum && docker build -t kstratum .
With the container images in place, we can now launch the environment:
docker-compose up -d
Now give the node some time to sync with the network.
Before starting the next step, retrieve the local IP address that the full node is running on, we will need this to tell the miner where the Stratum server is running.
linux/macOS:
ifconfig | grep 192
Windows:
ipconfig
This address will be refered to as <stratum_ip> below.
Hive OS users can refer to the instructions here
Command line users can follow this template (replacing the values with your own):
lolMiner --algo ETHASH --pool <eth_pool>:4444 \
--user 0xF0aAfB7547E01B0cEC4A6780e0835e5a76322F2f.WorkerName \
--dualmode KASPADUAL --dualpool <stratum_ip>:16112 \
--dualuser kaspa:qz34dfrhnmljnp4ymm4p4uukphjg3ty3auv0jktugv4wx4w8jwdh7zwjka8x8
