⁠What is XMR-Stak-CPU?

XMR-Stak-CPU is a universal Stratum pool miner. This is the CPU-mining version.

This docker image autoconfigures threads as suggested by xmr-stak-cpu. All xmr-stak-cpu's config.txt variables can be configured with docker run environment variables.

⁠How to use this image

docker run -itd --restart unless-stopped -e WALLET_ADDRESS='' -e POOL_PASSWORD='' -e POOL_ADDRESS='' -e AUTO_THREAD_CONFIG=true --name xmr-stak-cpu neffets/xmr-stak-cpu

'AUTO_THREAD_CONFIG=true' uses the xmr-stak-cpu recommended thread settings.

You can also use (for example)

-e THREAD_CONFIG='{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 0 },{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 1 },{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 3 },{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 4 },'

without the AUTO_THREAD_CONFIG=true, or THREAD_CONFIG="" env variables the image starts up a number of threads equivalent to core count, which works best when you have for example 2 physical processors, and the (L3 cache/2) is higher than core count on one processor.

Another option is to set nice adjustment when starting the process. It defaults to 0 which is the same as running without nice.

-e NICE=10

You can set all config.txt GitHub⁠ variables as docker run environment variables. Just use all caps in env var names.

Large pages need a properly set up OS. Run this on host side.

sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=128 && ulimit -l 262144
