Monero p2pool docker-compose

This is an easy to setup installation of Monero's p2pool, a decentralized pool for Monero mining.

Requirements

docker / podman
docker-compose
Huge pages setup and mounted under /dev/hugepages or similar
- $ sudo sysctl vm.nr_hugepages=3072
- You can add vm.nr_hugepages=3072 to /etc/sysctl.conf so it persists reboots.
- Check that you have /dev/hugepages (or other) as a hugetlbfs mount
At least 48 GiB of free space for pruned Monero and p2pool chain data.
- monero runs in pruned mode, but that's still about 38-39 GiB at the time of writing.
- p2pool uses 500 MiB at this point in time, could use more.
x86_64 or AArch64 system (probably works on others, untested)
About 4 GiB of RAM. Haven't tested below this, but should help during sync. A bit more works better.

Clone / download this repository
- $ git clone https://github.com/WeebDataHoarder/p2pool-compose && cd p2pool-compose
Copy .env.example to .env
- $ cp .env.example .env
Change .env values to fit your needs. This is the main configuration.
- You don't need to change everything, but at least, you SHOULD change P2POOL_WALLET_ADDRESS.
  - You should probably create a wallet for this. This address is exposed to p2pool peers (although later pruned)
- You can override further by using docker-compose.override.yml.
Build and start the services via docker-compose
- $ docker-compose up -d --build (this will take a while to compile)
- Monero syncing will also start. This can take a few days.
- You can bring everything down via $ docker-compose down
- View logs via docker logs
- By default master branch of p2pool is used.
To update (new version, or new p2pool version)
- git pull && docker-compose build --no-cache p2pool && docker-compose up -d --build

monerod has higher connection defaults and several presets to have quicker and larger reach when receiving and broadcasting new blocks.
monerod has a custom patch applied for the special RPC and ZMQ methods p2pool requires. After PR#7891 is merged, this patch won't be necessary.
p2pool stratum port is by default 3333. You can change this on .env, and can also point xmrig-proxy or similar to this port.
p2pool will wait until monerod is running and fully synchronized before starting.
You can attach to p2pool console via $ docker attach p2pool-compose_p2pool_1. Detach via Ctrl+p, Ctrl+q
Everything restarts by default

logrotate for p2pool
- However, you can set this up yourself directly pointing to file /var/lib/docker/volumes/p2pool-compose_p2pool/_data/p2pool.log

There is no dev fee. p2pool has no infrastructure. Send donations if you like, or don't.

Donate hashrate to the P2Pool Seed Node we run, at stratum server p2pool-seed.northeurope.cloudapp.azure.com:3333

Think about donating to p2pool's original author as well.
