Monero XMRig Docker

Because servethehome/monero_xmrig is very outdated.

XMRig Version: 6.21.3

If a new version for XMRig comes out and you want me to update this docker, feel free to open an issue or do a pull request.

I will try to update this docker as quickly as possible.

Usage

• $username - pool username
• $pool - pool address (with protocol, like stratum+tcp://)
• $threads - Number of threads to mine with (recommended is vCPU / 2)
• $donate - percentage of hash to donate to devs (not me)
• $password - optional for most pools
• $coin - which coin to mine
• $algo - which algorithm to mine
• $VERSION - XMRig version to use

Mine specific coin

docker run -ti --rm \
  -e username=$username \
  -e xmrpool=$pool \
  -e numthreads=$threads \
  -e startport=$port \
  -e donate=$donate \
  -e coin=$coin \
  -e VERSION=$VERSION \
  ghcr.io/rblaine95/monero_xmrig

Mine specific algorithm

docker run -ti --rm \
  -e username=$username \
  -e xmrpool=$pool \
  -e numthreads=$threads \
  -e startport=$port \
  -e donate=$donate \
  -e algo=$algo \
  -e VERSION=$VERSION \
  ghcr.io/rblaine95/monero_xmrig

Variable Defaults

• $threads - output of nproc / 2
• $port - 3333
• $xmrpool - stratum+tcp://pool.supportxmr.com
• $password - docker
• $donate - 5
• $coin - monero
• $algo - null
• $VERSION - Current XMRig version listed above

docker_monero_xmrig's Issues

Migrate to Alpine based image

Alpine based images are significantly smaller than other images.
Migrating to an Alpine based image would decrease the footprint of this image.

Multi Stage Dockerfile to decrease image size

Using a multi stage dockerfile results in an image that goes from (on quay) 83.9MB to 19.8MB.
Uncompressed, it goes from 234MB to 50.6MB.

The difference is that XMRig is built on docker build instead of on runtime.

If anyone would like to comment regarding the benefits on this, that would be appreciated.
I like that the image is significantly smaller, however I'm not certain regarding the performance hit.

quay.io/rblaine95/monero_xmrig:latest - larger image, compile on runtime
quay.io/rblaine95/monero_xmrig:tiny - smaller image, compile on build

Integrate CircleCI builds

Because why not?
Might come in handy if you know how to do it for future projects
