miningcontainers/xmrig repository overview

⁠XMRig

This XMRig⁠ image is kept up to date with the latest updates and is custom built in an Alpine container for best performance and size.

Official repository is mining-containers/xmrig⁠

This image will CPU mine very well on any Docker host including Azure and AWS.

If you are new to Monero mining and need a wallet/address see the official wallet client⁠.

⁠Getting Started

The most simple execution is:

docker run --restart=always miningcontainers/xmrig:latest -k --tls -o POOL:PORT -u USER -p PASSWORD 

An excellent Monero mining pool is SupportXMR⁠. To mine at SupportXMR you use your monero wallet address as the username, and password is not required.

For Example:

docker run --restart=always miningcontainers/xmrig:latest -k --tls -o pool.supportxmr.com:443 -u 48edfHu7V9Z84YzzMa6fUueoELZ9ZRXq9VetWzYGzKt52XU5xvqgzYnDK9URnRoJMk1j8nLwEVsaSWJ4fhdUyZijBGUicoD 

Here is another example for Nanopool⁠ (nanopool difficulty may be too high for low resource machines):

docker run --restart=always miningcontainers/xmrig:latest --tls -o xmr-us-east1.nanopool.org:14433 -u 48edfHu7V9Z84YzzMa6fUueoELZ9ZRXq9VetWzYGzKt52XU5xvqgzYnDK9URnRoJMk1j8nLwEVsaSWJ4fhdUyZijBGUicoD --coin monero

⁠Running in Azure ACI

You can deploy directly to Azure Container Instances using our ARM template with the following button. This will be a single container, so you may want to modify the template to duplicate the container instances a few times.

Or you can run manually using the native support in Docker Desktop for Windows/Mac.

You simply log Docker into Azure, create a context, and include the context on your normal run command.

Example:

docker login azure
docker context create aci myacicontext
docker --context myacicontext run miningcontainers/xmrig:latest -k --tls -o POOL:PORT -u USER -p PASSWORD

⁠Running in AWS ECS

Running in ECS is similar to running in ACI. You can follow the instructions at: https://docs.docker.com/cloud/ecs-integration/⁠
