Chia plotter docker image

A simple and scalable docker image for creating Chia plots via https://github.com/swar/Swar-Chia-Plot-Manager.

Configuration

Required configuration:

• Bind mounting a host temp dir in the container to /temp (e.g. -v /path/to/sdd/storage/:/temp)
• Bind mounting a host plot dir in the container to /plots (e.g. -v /path/to/hdd/storage/:/plots)
• Bind mounting a host config dir in the container to /config (e.g. -v /path/to/storage/:/config)

Optional configuration:

• Setting the autostart of plotting manager via environment (e.g. -e AUTOSTART=yes)
• Setting the time zone of plotting manager via environment (e.g. -e TZ=Europe/Berlin)

On first start:

• Open /config/config.yaml for editing
• Set chia_location to /chia-blockchain/venv/bin/chia
• Set log:folder_path to /config/logs
• In the jobs section set following values for each job:
  • Set farmer_public_key according to existing full node (chia keys show)
  • Set pool_public_key according to existing full node (chia keys show)
  • Set temporary_directory to /temp
  • Set destination_directory to /plots
• Adjust the rest according to your needs

Operation

Open docker shell:

• docker exec -it containerid sh

Control plotting:

• python manager.py start (Start plotting jobs according to config.yaml)
• python manager.py restart (Reload after config.yaml change - timers will be reset)
• python manager.py stop (Stop new plotting jobs - running jobs will be finished)
