Monero P2Pool Docker Compose

Run your own Monero Node + P2Pool + XMRig in Docker

Instructions

Install docker and docker-compose

Install Docker
Install Docker Compose

Note: The docker compose plugin uses the command "docker compose" while the pip installed command is "docker-compose".

Clone the P2Pool project

git clone --recursive https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool

Configure your Monero address for mining rewards

cd p2pool/docker-compose
./configure

Make sure to set your own monero Wallet Address. The default is to donate mining to P2Pool development.

Build the docker containers

docker compose build

Run the node, pool, and CPU miner (or updated configuration)

docker compose up

Optional

  • Open ports 18080 (Monero p2p port) and 37889 (P2Pool p2p port) or 37888 (P2Pool-mini p2p port) in your firewall to ensure better connectivity. If you're mining from a computer behind NAT (like a router) you could consider forwarding the ports to your local machine
  • An XMRig CPU miner is included by default, but you can connect additional miners to this same p2pool node using port 3333
  • Configure your kernel for maximum mining performance: XMRig RandomX Optimization Guide
  • Small miners can mine on p2pool-mini by editing the .env file

Other usefull commands

  • You can run everything in the background by adding the "-d" argument to the "docker compose up" command: docker compose up -d
  • You can stop everything with CTRL-C or docker compose down
  • You can see logs when running in the background for with the "docker logs" command: docker logs -f p2pool-xmrig or docker logs -f p2pool-p2pool or docker logs -f p2pool-monero
  • You can pause mining with: docker compose pause xmrig and resume mining with: docker compose unpause xmrig
  • You can disable mining with: docker compose stop xmrig and re-enable mining with: docker compose start xmrig

Uninstall

Change to p2pool/docker-compose directory
Stop and remove all containers: docker compose down
Remove the p2pool data: docker volume rm p2pool
Remove the monero data: docker volume rm monero
