Ansible Playbook to compile XMRIG miner for Monero mining from GIT source, builds miner on all nodes and runs automatically at server boot. XMRig is high performance Monero (XMR) CPU miner. Originally based on cpuminer-multi with heavy optimizations/rewrites and removing a lot of legacy code, since version 1.0.0 complete rewritten from scratch on C++.
Currently tested on:
- Debian 9
ALL NODES INVOLED IN MINER DEPLOYMENT WILL BE REBOOTED AT THE END OF INSTALLATION
Edit configuration.yml
public_key : SET YOUR XMR PUBLIC KEY
mining_pool : SET MONERO POOL (eg. mine.moneropool.com:3333)
log_file : XMRIG LOG FILE
max_cpu_usage : MAXIMUM CPU USAGE FOR MINING THREADS
You can find a list of available Monero pools here: http://moneropools.com/
Modify hosts file, add IP or hostnames of your nodes where you want deploy XMRIG miner. Include in your host line the user allowed to access to the node by ssh, you can use different host users.
1.2.3.4 ansible_user=myuser

Debian / Ubuntu
apt-get install ansible
ansible-playbook -i hosts install.yml
XMRIG miner starts in background mode by default
