Hello all,
Question if anyone could help.
I currently run a node on rasp pi 4 with Umbrel OS flashed to it and have Sparrow wallet connected to my node.
As I've already outlayed for the Rasp pi, SSD, SD card etc etc to have that node running, it doesn't make much sense to also buy the full package Apollo. I am very much interested in getting the Apollo Standard (just the miner) so I can contribute some TH from home - moreso for hobby/ethos purposes.
Now from what I've read Apollo have some standalone miner software. Am I able to get that software also flashed onto the same SD card as the Umbrel OS. Basically I want to connect the Apollo Standard to the free USB port on my Pi and have both the Umbrel OS running and also the Apollo miner software running at the same time. That way I don't need to connect the Apollo Standard to some other computer and have that running separately all the time.
Does this make sense? Sorry I'm new to all this. Thanks.
You can test the standalone application on your Umbrel OS. Connect with SSH and run:
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/releases/download/1.1/Apollo-Miner_linux-aarch32.tar.xz
tar -xf Apollo-Miner_linux-aarch32.tar.xz
linux-aarch32/apollo-miner --help
Thanks for your assistance. I've copied the binairies but am getting this error when I try and run it:
- './start_apollo.sh: line 63: ./apollo-miner: No such file or directory'
umbrel@umbrel:~/Apollo-Miner-Binaries $ cd linux-aarch32
umbrel@umbrel:~/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/linux-aarch32 $ sudo ./start_apollo.sh
[sudo] password for umbrel:
./start_apollo.sh: line 63: ./apollo-miner: No such file or directory
umbrel@umbrel:~/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/linux-aarch32 $
FYI I haven't actually purchased or connected a standard Apollo to by Rasp pi yet. I am just tickering with this to see if I can work out how to do so before committing to purchasing one. Thanks for any further guidance.
It seems you just copied the script files. Check with "ls -la" command for apollo-miner binary in the same directory.
For testing the dependencies it's absolutely fine without hardware.
Hi, thanks for your help. I did that command and got this:
umbrel@umbrel:~/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/linux-aarch32 $ ls -la
total 264
drwxr-xr-x 2 umbrel umbrel 4096 Mar 15 19:53 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 umbrel umbrel 4096 Mar 15 19:53 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 umbrel umbrel 244416 Mar 15 19:53 apollo-miner
-rwxr-xr-x 1 umbrel umbrel 615 Mar 15 19:53 miner_start_all.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 umbrel umbrel 391 Mar 15 19:53 miner_stop_all.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 umbrel umbrel 4112 Mar 15 19:53 start_apollo.sh
umbrel@umbrel:~/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/linux-aarch32 $
So to me it looks like i downloaded all of it, including the apollo-miner binary (which I assume is some sort of executable file). So it is there but still saying it can't find it when i run the start_apollo.sh script?
