⁠Requirements

To run NiceHash Docker Miner, you need:

• NiceHash Mining Address⁠
• System with graphics cards from NVIDIA, AMD or a mix of both
• Installed and working Docker engine⁠
• Mining using Nvida graphics cards require instalation of Nvidia Container Toolkit⁠

⁠How to test if requirements are met

Run the following command to test if Docker engine is working

docker run --rm hello-world

Run the following command to test if Docker Miner is detecting GPUs

For NVIDIA

docker run --rm --gpus=all --entrypoint=/usr/bin/nvidia-smi dockerhubnh/nicehash:latest

For AMD

docker run --rm --device /dev/kfd --device /dev/dri --entrypoint=/usr/bin/clinfo dockerhubnh/nicehash:latest

⁠How to run NiceHash Docker Miner

Run these two commands to download and run the image.

$ docker pull dockerhubnh/nicehash:latest

$ docker run -it --rm --env MINING_ADDRESS="mining-address" --env MINING_WORKER_NAME="worker-name" --gpus=all --device=/dev/kfd --device=/dev/dri dockerhubnh/nicehash:latest

Replace the "mining-address" with mining address found inside NiceHash Rig Manager and set "worker-name" to arbitary worker name.

You can run multiple dockers in parallel on your system.

To select a specific GPU for NiceHash Miner Docker:

• for NVIDIA: change --gpus=all to a chosen GPU UUID or index, as per NVIDIA's guidelines⁠.
• for AMD: change --device /dev/dri to a chosen GPU index, as per AMD's guidelines⁠

⁠Why use NiceHash Docker Miner?

NiceHash stands out with its seamless automatic switching feature, designed for GPU miners. This innovative function removes the tedious task of manually transitioning between cryptocurrencies to chase the highest profits. In the ever-fluctuating world of cryptocurrency, where the most lucrative coin changes frequently, miners typically face the hassle of continuously switching pools, configuring wallets, converting cryptocurrencies, and staying updated with market trends to enhance their mining profitability. This takes up a lot of time, and time is money.

By integrating the NiceHash Docker Miner into your mining strategy, you embrace a streamlined, more efficient approach. Our solution not only automates the mining of the most profitable coin at any given time — thereby potentially boosting your earnings — but also spares you the time and hassle involved in the manual management of mining operations. With NiceHash, you can focus more on the results and less on the process, ensuring your mining is as profitable and effortless as possible.
