runningbeta/xmrig

This is an Alpine Linux Docker image running XMRig miner.

The goal of this project is to quickly enable you to mine Monero without the hassle of knowing how to install or secure your mining software.

Using an Alpine Linux container you get a very lightweight image ~4MB and the benefit of Alpine Linux's security model. Image is configured to run the miner as a dedicated restricted user.

Basic example

docker run --restart unless-stopped --read-only -m 50M -c 512 runningbeta/xmrig -o POOL -u WALLET -p PASSWORD -k

Failover

docker run --restart unless-stopped --read-only -m 50M -c 512 runningbeta/xmrig -o POOL01 -o POOL02 -u WALLET -p PASSWORD -k

Full example

docker run --restart unless-stopped --read-only -m 50M -c 512 runningbeta/xmrig -o r8.network:5222 -o pool.supportxmr.com:5555 -u 4AjqdPQxRA1aot1nwAFn8M6wHcUhZupiJMjAkbxeitGV4YBZsn4rKBYdUEHQC5GxTwP8tg8yhuHoYL2qCEcTxeRN4vr47ae -p x -k

Options

Docker Arguments

--restart unless-stopped

If the miner crashes we want the docker service to restart it.

--read-only

This image does not need rw access. If there are bug/exploits in the pool/software you are a little more protected.

-m 50M

Restricts memory usage to 50MB.

-c 512

By default XMRig will use <= half of your cores. Setting a relevant share count will protect you from a runaway process locking your system.

XMRig Arguments

--help

All standard XMRig arguments are supported, using --help will list all of them.

# docker run runningbeta/xmrig --help

-t

When manually setting threads with -t you need to configure the correct CPU shares for docker.

IE if you have 4 cores each core is worth 256 ( 1024 / 4 ) and so to use 3 threads, CPU shares will need to be set to 756.

# docker run -c 756 runningbeta/xmrig ... -t 3

Donations

Development of Monero and tools can be supported directly through donations.

Default donation 5% (5 minutes in 100 minutes) can be reduced to 1% via command line option --donate-level. Currently all auto-donations are to the open source XMRig Github project. Future updates may change this. Until then you can make an one time donation to this organizations:
