Dependencies:
- go >= 1.10
- redis-server >= 2.8.0
- nodejs >= 4 LTS
- nginx
- geth (multi-geth)
I highly recommend to use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
$ sudo apt-get install -y build-essential golang-1.10-go unzip
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/go-1.10/bin/go /usr/local/bin/go
$ sudo apt-get install redis-server
It is recommended to bind your DB address on 127.0.0.1 or on internal ip. Also, please set up the password for advanced security!!!
$ sudo apt-get install nginx
sample config located at configs/nginx.default.example (HINT, edit and move to /etc/nginx/sites-available/default)
This will install the latest nodejs
$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
$ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
$ wget https://github.com/ethereumsocial/multi-geth/releases/download/v1.8.10/multi-geth-linux-v1.8.10.zip
$ unzip multi-geth-linux-v1.8.10.zip
$ sudo mv geth /usr/local/bin/geth
$ git clone https://github.com/phatblinkie/pirl.cryptopools.info.git
$ cd pirl.cryptopools.info
$ make all
$ ls build/bin/
you should see open-callisto-pool binary there.
presetup configs are in configs directory, edit to suit your needs

The frontend is a single-page Ember.js application that polls the pool API to render miner stats.
$ cd pirl.cryptopools.info/www
$ sudo npm install -g [email protected]
$ sudo npm install -g bower
$ sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.npm
$ sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.config
$ npm install
$ bower install
$ ./build.sh
$ note: the build script copies the contents of pirl.cryptopools.info/www/dist/ to ~/www
As you can see above, the frontend of the pool homepage is created. Then, move to the directory, www, which services the file.
Set up nginx. $ a sample config file for nginx is include in the configs directory copy it or edit as directed below $ sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Modify based on configuration file.
# Default server configuration
# nginx example
upstream api {
server 127.0.0.1:8080;
}
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /home/<your-user-name>/www;
# Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name _;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location /api {
proxy_pass http://api;
}
}
After setting nginx is completed, run the command below.
$ sudo service nginx restart
Type your homepage address or IP address on the web. If you face screen without any issues, pool installation has completed.
This guide was originally referred from digitalocean - How To Secure Nginx with Let's Encrypt on Ubuntu 16.04
First, install the Certbot's Nginx package with apt-get
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install python-certbot-nginx
And then open your nginx setting file, make sure the server name is configured!
$ sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
. . .
server_name <your-pool-domain>;
. . .
Change the _ to your pool domain, and now you can obtain your auto-renewaled ssl certificate for free!
$ sudo certbot --nginx -d <your-pool-domain>
Now you can access your pool's frontend via https! Share your pool link!
- Unlocking and payouts are sequential, 1st tx go, 2nd waiting for 1st to confirm and so on. You can disable that in code. Carefully read
docs/PAYOUTS.md
. - Also, keep in mind that unlocking and payouts will halt in case of backend or node RPC errors. In that case check everything and restart.
- You must restart module if you see errors with the word suspended.
- Don't run payouts and unlocker modules as part of mining node. Create separate configs for both, launch independently and make sure you have a single instance of each module running.
- If
poolFeeAddress
is not specified all pool profit will remain on coinbase address. If it specified, make sure to periodically send some dust back required for payments. - DO NOT OPEN YOUR RPC OR REDIS ON 0.0.0.0!!! It will eventually cause coin theft.
