🌱 About

I would like to share my knowledge about getting started with chia NFT plotting on ubuntu server (21.04).

⚠️ Disclaimer

This repository will help a novice Linux user quickly getting started with chia plotting on Ubuntu Server 21.04. Since i am just learning github - there will be hard codes parameters which you need to change to match your environment.

👌 Step by step guide

  • 🏛️ To configure a local static ip address, please follow this link: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-configure-static-ip-address-on-ubuntu-20-04/

  • 😀 Now we are one step closer to start plotting on our server

  • 📁 Create a folder called chia in your home directory

    cd ~
mkdir chia && cd chia

  • 🔄 Install a neat tool called progress, which will monitor system processes like cp mv rsync etc

    sudo apt install progress

    📶 For example, to view file transfers in real time we execute

    progress -w

  • 💽 ⛏️ MadMax chia plotter needs to be installed within the directory chia directory we created earlier (~/chia). Issue the commands below to install the MadMax chia plotter

    sudo apt install -y libsodium-dev cmake g++ git build-essential
# Checkout the source and install
git clone https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-plotter.git 
cd chia-plotter

git submodule update --init
./make_devel.sh
./build/chia_plot --help`

# Code is copied from https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-plotter

  • ⏰ A few moments later

  • 🪄 Now it's time to download my magical program

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/manprinsen/chia-plotting-on-ubuntu-server/main/program.py && sudo chmod 777 program.py

  • ✋ Before we run the program, we need to enter the a correct Pool Key and Farmer Key within the program. The variables poolKey and farmerKey will be found in the beginning of the file

    sudo nano program.py
# ==> below is example output from the file
#!/usr/bin/env python3
...
poolKey = "enter your own key"
farmerKey = "enter your own key"
...

    To save the changes simply execute the following key combination ctrl + x followed by y (to save) and hit enter

  • 🚀 To run the program, simply issue the following command

    ./program.py

    You will be greeted with the following screen

  • 🙏 I dont know it it's just be, but I have a hard time remembering a bunch of shell commands. So the main purpose of this program is the handle this for you.

    From now on you will only need to SELECT which task you want run, which, from my perspective, makes Ubuntu Server USER FRIENDLY!!

  • 🏳️ I appreciate any feedback, especially feedback from Linux guru's
