[OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining

[papampi]

I want to participate and create web site with rig control (like on simplemining.net)
I can create website that manages rigs, website can generate full config bash file.
Modifications needed for nvOS is to make on boot to download new config from server and every few minutes make some requests to server to send statistics (hashrate / temreratures / miner console /etc ) and in reply server will return commands if rig must reboot or redownload config (by user request)

So i can make server part easily, who will participate? With whom i can talk about that?
 

I think that its a really good idea, for non pro users and can be use as alternative for simplemining or ethos, but first of all we (all users of this rigs) should we have server  with some ddos protection or even CDN (can be ovh + cloudflare) if ofcourse it will be in "public" zone, because i can be also avalibe only in your local network...

I can put it on my server for start without ddos protection.
For start i need to communicate with some linux side developers =)

For getting new config simple wget can be used (ex wget http://address.com/get_config/user_login(from config)/mac_address(from system)/config.sh ) which will be generated on the fly based on user config on website (miner selection with parameters, overclocking etc, and all other configuration options which are available now)


fullzero?

simplemining's business structure is to make money out of it, hence the need for central server so they can control it.

nvOC is free/open source so there is no need for central server and download of config files from the central server.

There is no registered business and no liability nor inspiration to run secure server with ddos protection, fall back system, etc.

What happens if someone hacks your server and distribute/push new config files and make every nvOC rig mine for them? Will you compensate?

The idea of web interface is great and sooner or later will be implemented into nvOC but not as an interface to central server but local one. I should be able to login to my server's IP web interface and manage my rig trough any web browser.
I think we should steer the developement toward this.
Furthermore, we can add master/slave interfaces so that if you have multiple rigs, you will have one master to control all slave rigs.

Right?

Totally right leenoox,
Exactly what I had in mind for it.

@Dangerd,
Sent you a pm and asked some questions with no reply
I'm handling nvoc web info,
And would love to help and make it better

Hi,
I make a try with nvOC.
In the configuration file, I see where I write the parameters for each GPU and each Pool, but for the pools, I didn't see where I write the worker password ?
There is the name of pool, the port, the coin address, the worker name, but no worker password...
Thank you.

Usually pools dont check worker password and best keep it the default "x"
If any one wants to mine for you ... let them mine ... lol

Yes, I know... "-p x" or something else, or nothing.
But I use this option : some of my workers have password for other reasons and the pool test it : if the password is wrong, I cannot connect my worker (error connection message).
How can I make with nvOC ?

What I did was add a variable for the password in 1bash just after this comment:

Code:

# set YOUR ADDRESSES, WORKERS, POOL, INTENSITY and PORT:
SUPRNOVA_PWD=<miner_password>

and then modify 3main by changing:

Code:

... --pass x ...

to

Code:

... --pass $SUPRNOVA_PWD ...

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot.
I will try as soon as possible (not possible for a few days now).
I think this syntax would be decumented in the configuration file : I'm probably the unique miner on SuprNova :-).

Tried my best to search for an answer, but no luck so far...

has anyone successfully gotten rid of the login loop issue?

Ive console logged in, did a re-image, tried different versions, and every ubuntu based fix i could find online (clear and .Xauthority fixes)

Board is a HP z400 board

broth i have one board like that and it is working fine i didn't  any adjustment, just keep on mine if u have a second boot device connected, and don't plug or unplug any devices the first time or when it is loading.

Dear fullzero, thanks for your hard work on nvoc. Have been using it for half a year already and very much pleased with it.
Are you planning to add BTG in the new release? Didn't see it in 1.4. Would be great.
Thanks a lot

Right?

NP, i can share code so users can deploy server part on their own central servers =)
The main idea is to make managing all rigs from one place (for example select all and set to mine BTCz for example to avoid making it one by one)

Installed v19-1.4 yesterday on a new rig to test a new card.

Thought updates were supposed to be disabled in this one, but when I logged in this morning nothing was working and saw this in the logs:

[  142.874644] NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 384.90, but

Had to do this to fix it:

Hi guys can you help me how to add more algo on SALTER_NICEHASH? I want to add cryptonight so that it can automatically switch to that algo pls tnx tnx tnx

not sure why people are still spreading this but some pool do need the right password. I spent hours trying to figure out why I couldnt mine on a pool using nvOC until I replaced the default password with x (nvOC v19 had z for some reason)
So use the password you have in your account (like the ones you setup in suprnova) other pools probably dont care though

A few updates I've need to do since installing 1.4 that may help others:

Many errors in my syslog referencing timeout waiting for device - There is a hardcoded Sandisk drive in /etc/fstab that should be commented out:

Code:

UUID=55184403759586FB /mnt/55184403759586FB auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,ro 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-SanDisk_Cruzer_Blade_4C530001260812105231-0:0-part1 /mnt/usb-SanDisk_Cruzer_Blade_4C530001260812105231-0:0-part1 auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,ro 0 0

Also, if you adjust wattage limits into the triple digits (more than 100w) the temp script seems to throw issues now.  Changing:

Code:

echo -n 117.00| tail -c -5 | head -c -3

to

Code:

echo -n 117.00| tail -c -6 | head -c -3

seems to bring things back to normal.

Still seeing lower hashrates than I did on version 1.1, due to cards using about 80% of their available power limit and not sure why.  Also seeing hostname errors and plenty of small other things on a vanilla build (literally just changed 5 items in 1bash) - v1.1 was rock solid, and while I love the idea of these new features, I value stability of mining operation above all else and it seems like we're going backwards a bit on that front.

Nice catch on triple digit, I just install 1.4 on one of my 1070 rigs and was goin crazy why it keep popping up old power limit 25 .... New 125
Then I remember your post

Saved my day.

So, in my effort to thoroughly understand nvOC at a reasonably low level, I am stumped by one question. What is calling/launching 2unix at boot and again if 3main is killed and 2unix "falls out"?

It appears to be part of gnome-session but I am not yet familiar enough with Ubuntu to find it. I see the auto login setup in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf but I don't see anything launching that explicitly in .bashrc or .profile. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Guake terminal is involved

Yes. I found gnome-terminal.desktop and guake:guake.desktop in /home/m1/.config/autostart but I am still not putting all of the pieces of the puzzle together yet. I don't see any mention of 2unix being launched there.

For those of you that care, I found it:

m1        1943  1703  0 12:02 ?        00:00:00 python2 -m guake.main
m1        1999  1943  0 12:02 ?        00:00:00 gnome-pty-helper
m1        2000  1943  0 12:02 pts/16   00:00:00 /bin/bash
m1        2085  1943  0 12:02 pts/18   00:00:00 /bin/bash
m1        2316  1943  0 12:03 pts/21   00:00:00 /bin/bash

Thx. Did you find the location of guake.main?

By the way, a little off topic, but do you guys think it's ok to run 12 GPUs (all 1070s except for 2 which are 1060s) on two EVGA G3 850W PSUs? I downvolted all of the cards and each 1070 is right around 100W/piece and 1060s are roughly 80W. Been stable now for over a week, just to get some feedback regarding this setup.

There is no part of me that will ever understand the idea behind taking 10 cards and intentionally turning them into 7

What do you mean exactly? I have a pretty small setup (~20 GPUs), so I just try to consolidate whenever possible.

I am with @ComputerGenie. Is there a reason you are not running individual power limits and clocks? Worst case, I would remove the 1060's and just run the 1070's correctly.

Agree,
80 W for 1060 is not so low, but 100 for 1070 is too low,
what are your hash rates with 1070 ?
I run my 1070 rig at 125 W, oc 125, cc 600 getting 460-470 sol/s
and 1060 rig with 85W, oc 125, cc, 600 getting 300 sol/s

Hi Fullzero or anyone here figure it how? i tried to copy the settings of other algo and change the settings but it gets buggy and got insane income result lol

Installed v19-1.4 yesterday on a new rig to test a new card.

sudo: unable to resolve host gtx1080ti-r1

Check your /etc/hosts file. It would appear that you are missing the entry for your miner - gtx1080ti-r1.

   m1@Miner2:~$ cat /etc/hosts
   127.0.0.1       localhost
  127.0.1.1       Miner2

   # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
   .
   .
   .

In the example, my host is named Miner2 and I have the necessary entry for it in my hosts file. Hope this helps.

Been mining ETH and my hasharates have been 30-31 per 1070. I never thought you could have a PL "too low" if it's within the supported wattage of the card. Of course, some GPUs, like the MSI 1070 Gaming X requires minimum 115 watts but some other 1070s can go to as low as 90 so that's why I say average is roughly 100W per card. It's bee stable like this for nearly 2 weeks now so I don't see why it's a big issue if it's stable?
