Nheqminer with NVIDIA CUDA support
I have now had my docker running 4+ weeks which meets my standards for "stable".
v0.5c,cuda,latest(CUDA 8.0/v0.5c)v0.5c-cpu,cpu(CPU/v0.5c)
This assumes that current version of NVIDIA drivers and Docker is installed, it also requires the nvidia-docker plugin which allows the image to access the host GPU and drivers with minimal extra requirements on you or the host.
For convenience there is also a cpu only build.
nvidia-docker install requirements
It really isn't so bad...
# requirement
sudo apt-get install nvidia-modprobe
# Install nvidia-docker and nvidia-docker-plugin
wget -P /tmp https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/releases/download/v1.0.0/nvidia-docker_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/nvidia-docker*.deb && rm /tmp/nvidia-docker*.deb
# Test nvidia-smi
nvidia-docker run --rm nvidia/cuda nvidia-smi
A few example commands to help get things up and running quickly.
Do not run more than two threads per instance, if you want to run CPU and GPU on the same machine spin up seperate instances.
DO RUN two threads per instance for example -cd 0 0 1 1.
On a stock GTX1070 with two threads the djezo solver runs at around 380 Sol/s.
DOCKER RUN
nvidia-docker run --restart always -i -d -h nheqminer unsalted/nheqminer \
nheqminer -l zec-us1.dwarfpool.com:3335 -u ZEC_ADDRESS.user -cd 0 RUN
nvidia-docker run --rm -i -d -h nheqminer --name nheqminer unsalted/nheqminer
EXEC nheq command (start, help, benchmark)
docker exec nheqminer bash -c "nheqminer -l zec-us1.dwarfpool.com:3335 -u YOUR_ZEC_ADDRESS.user -cd 0 0"
Enter the container
docker exec -it nheqminer bash
Makefile
A makefile is provided with quickstart commands the only required variable is your ADDRESS, it will still run but it will mine to my address (thank you).
Run with flags
make nheqminer FLAGS="-l zec-us1.dwarfpool.com:3336 -u t1UoqVgJYfRuZZyaU93FncJzXdhKmx6Vpb5.botbot -cd 0 1"
Run with variables
make run GPU="0 1" ADDRESS=MY_ADDRESS PORT=3356
Run cpu
make cpu ADDRESS=MY_ADDRESS PORT=3354 THREADS=4
Full list of default variables
GPU=0
THREADS=Null
HOST=HOSTNAME
RESTART=always
UID=RANDOM
LOCATION=zec-us1.dwarfpool.com
PORT=3335
ADDRESS=t1UoqVgJYfRuZZyaU93FncJzXdhKmx6Vpb5
DOCKER=nvidia-docker
RUN
docker run --rm -i -d -h nheqminer --name nheqminer unsalted/nheqminer:cpu
EXEC command (start, help, benchmark)
docker exec nheqminer bash -c "nheqminer -l zec-us1.dwarfpool.com:3334 -u YOUR_ZEC_ADDRESS.user -t 2"
Enter the container
docker exec -it nheqminer bash
