Cloud-Plot

This project can be used to plot chia in AWS using Fargate.

The resources this project deploys do incur charges. It is not advised to plot or farm chia in the cloud as the costs quickly scale to a point where it is prohibitively expensive. This project uses Fargate, EFS, and S3 to create and store plots. Do you own research before deploying this project.

This project is mostly untested. It is intended for educational purposes only.

Use at your own risk and expense.

Once deployed, this will continue to plot until destroyed.

To get started you will need:

an AWS account
the AWS CLI tool
docker
node and npm
aws cdk

To plot with your farm and pool public keys, set them in the cdk.json file

To deploy:

git clone the repo
cd into the project folder
edit the cdk.json file and enter your own farm and pool public keys. Set parallelFactor to the number of tasks you want to run in fargate at the same time.
aws configure (enter your aws iam user keys and region)
npm install
cdk bootstrap aws://<AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>/<AWS_REGION> (example: aws://123456789876/us-east-1)
cdk deploy

To adjust CPU, Memory

open the file lib/cloud-plot-stack.ts find the FargateTaskDefinition and edit cpu and memoryLimitMiB

To adjust plot settings

open file modules/plotter/entrypoint.sh find the line that includes chia plots create...

To remove all deployed resources:

cdk destroy
note that cdk bootstrap leaves some resources deployed. You can remove these by deleting the CloudFormation Stack named CDKToolkit.
note that the S3 bucket will be destroyed including any plots stored there.
