Running an HSD Fullnode for solo mining

There are some handy docker utilities in the folder ./fullnode_utils which you can double click on Mac/Windows/Linux to create, launch, stop or nuke a stratum-enabled fullnode on your local machine that you can mine to. Any utilities specific to the network (main|testnet|simnet) are noted in the command names.

Docker Fullnode Reminders:

  1. Make sure you installed docker. PSA: you dont need to login to docker either, dont let them fool you mac, hunt for the dmg link windows, hunt for the exe link ). Even after you install it: you dont need to login in order to run this goodness.
  2. Make sure that you added your wallet address you'd like paid at to run.mac.command OR run.windows.bat OR run.sh (for production) or run.powng.mac.command OR run.powng.windows.bat OR run.powng.sh (for simnet) in the end of the command that looks like: "./run.sh hs1qwfpd5ukdwdew7tn7vdgtk0luglgckp3klj44f8"

Docker Fullnode FAQs:

  1. I get an error:: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint earthlabHSD (...) Error starting userland proxy: mkdir /port/tcp:0.0.0.0:14038:tcp:172.17.0.2:14038: input/output error Error: failed to start containers: earthlabHSD Right click the docker icon in your taskbar and 'restart docker'. It might take a couple minutes to fully restart.

  2. Can I access the hsd docker fullnode? Yes. Port 15937 will be open for RPC calls to the node per usual, else ssh into the container's hsd directory with:: docker exec -it earthlabHSD bash Windows: winpty docker exec -it earthlabHSD bash

  3. I'd like to import my wallet into this fullnode, How do I set my fullnode's API password and/or stratum password to something more meaningful?

Edit the file you run the fullnode with, run.mac.command or run.windows.bat for example, and add the 3rd and 4th parameters into run.sh like::: docker start earthlabHSD && docker exec -i earthlabHSD sh -c "./run.sh hs1qwfpd5ukdwdew7tn7vdgtk0luglgckp3klj44f8 main my_hsd_api_password_here my_stratum_password_here" and pay attention that the passwords are inside that double quote ^^

  1. If you don't want to run a Dockerized fullnode, you can feel free to check the docs in fullnode_native_readme.md to see how to launch your own native hsd fullnode.
