Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when you need a Docker-packaged XMRig setup and can provide the pool and wallet configuration; consult the linked infrastructure instructions when working through the Kubernetes route.

Who it is for

  • People who want to run XMRig as a Docker container and configure its pool and mining identity through environment variables.
  • Kubernetes users looking for the repository's documented mining deployment path.

Documented uses

  • Start a containerized CPU miner with a chosen pool, coin, wallet address and worker name.
  • Inspect the running container's logs.
  • Configure XMRig through a JSON configuration file when the listed variables are not flexible enough.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and identified as open source under the WTFPL license.

  • The image runs XMRig for CPU mining, rather than acting as mining hardware or a pool.
  • The README's Docker example requires pool, coin, wallet and worker settings.
  • A JSON XMRig configuration file is recommended by the README for more flexible configuration.
  • The README directs users to separate infrastructure documentation for Kubernetes.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Start the documented Docker mining container

Configure and start the README's example container with a pool, coin, wallet and worker name.

Before you start

  • A system that runs Docker containers.
  • A mining pool URL, coin, valid wallet address and worker name.
  • A referral code if using the documented example.

Steps

  1. Choose a mining pool URL, coin, wallet address and worker name.

  2. Run the README's the command below example, replacing `` and adjusting its listed environment variables as needed.

    Documented command
    docker container run

  3. Check the container output with the command below or the command below.

    Documented command
    docker logs -f crypto-miner
    Documented command
    docker logs --tail 1000 crypto-miner

Expected outcome

The example starts the image as a named, background Docker container and provides commands for viewing its logs.

Guide limitations

  • The README's example uses a particular pool endpoint and coin; it does not document universal pool or coin support.
  • The project recommends reviewing provider terms before mining on cloud or other third-party infrastructure.
