    • Make a copy of the .env.example file in the root of the project.
    • Rename the copied file to .env.
    • Open the .env file in a text editor and enter your Nimble wallet address.
    • Run the following command to start the miner using Docker Compose: 
      docker-compose up -d
  2. Option 2: Use System Variables
    • Set the necessary environment variables directly in your system or hosting provider.
    • Run the following command to start the miner using Docker Compose: 
      docker-compose up -d

    Environment Variables

    Linux

    export NIMBLE_WALLET_ADDRESS=your_wallet_address

    Windows (PowerShell)

    $env:NIMBLE_WALLET_ADDRESS="your_wallet_address"

    Windows (Command Prompt)

    set NIMBLE_WALLET_ADDRESS=your_wallet_address

    macOS

    export NIMBLE_WALLET_ADDRESS=your_wallet_address

Updating Nimble Miner

If Nimble releases a new version of their miner you can update it by restarting your docker container. It will check for a new version.

Building the Pre-built Docker Image

To create a pre-built Docker image with all the dependencies installed and the Nimble Miner repository cloned and set up, you can use a multi-stage build approach.

  • Open the Dockerfile and update the ARG instruction with the desired repository URL:
ARG REPO=https://github.com/your-username/custom-miner-repo

Replace https://github.com/your-username/custom-miner-repo with the URL of the repository you want to use.

  • Build the pre-built Docker image:
docker build -t nimble-miner-prebuilt .
  • Push the pre-built Docker image to a container registry (e.g., Docker Hub) for distribution:
docker tag nimble-miner-prebuilt your-dockerhub-username/nimble-miner-prebuilt
docker push your-dockerhub-username/nimble-miner-prebuilt

Replace your-dockerhub-username with your actual Docker Hub username.
