minerControl - cool mining interface for multiple miners - Update 3/14/2014

[labX]

Hi Guys,

we(labX and maniac0in) created our own interface for controlling miners

Overview of all configured miners
http://crypto-magic.com/dateien/cgminerApiMulti-tn.png
In this case miner1 was clicked onto and the details show up. Otherwise every miner is described with short infos like: avg speed, hardware errors, fan speed and so on.

Description of latest features:
Changing the miners's overview(dashboard)

To change the miners's overview, go to [CONFIG] and you will meet a table with all fields currently shown.
To add fields, select one or more from the multiple-choices-form below the table
Hold ctrl while clicking to select/unselect multiple options.

Press [send] to write your changes to the config and click [^Back] to go back to your miner's overview.

Bulk adding pools

You are now able to add one pools to all your miners at once. However this requires your workers to be set up in a certain format:

Enter the username.worker followed by a # what will cause the script to count from 1 to the number of your miners.
Therefore workers at that pool must have all the same name, just followed a number starting at 1

Enter into the field:
user.worker#

Produces per miner:
user.worker1
user.worker2
user.workerN

All must have the same password

P2Pools:
When using p2pools, that require you to enter your payout address, just enter the address WITHOUT # your miners will then use all the same username, not adherencing a number.
!IMPORTANT! when you click [save] at the bulk-add formular, the configs of all miners will be saved!
Unfortunately as of now, you still have to enable/switch all added pools manually, but at least the new feature spares you to enter the same url/user/password multiple times.

What is this api.db?  I can't find it or am I missing something here...

Nice!
Very nice.

I respect your dev skills.
And that you place it @ github.

Good job.

hi compile,

the api.db was missing in the initial release. i added it now to github and the website. beware it is per default now called .htapi.db to prevent downloading it via the webserver by malicous users.
look into httpd.conf for more details(search for .ht*).

works fine
but, how to change default port (4028)?

hi grand99,

cool! great you like it. you can change the global port setting of 4028 in the config file now - application/config/avConf.php

Code:

/*
* cgminer's API port
*/

$config['apiport'] = 4028;

However, if you run miners on different ports each ip then this setting is not helpful, as it is global for all systems. I guess it would be a great feature to add the api port in the ip address list window.
Say +1 and we implement the feature today

+1 and even +2

Your doing great app indeed

Implement this feature might be very needed for a lot of users.

Cheers!

It would be also great to change rig name, right now appears only IP or host. I have several rigs, so proper name is very important for me.

Other think is that i don't see Mh/s when miner details is closed.

So far, this is great work, one of the best monitoring system.

indeed! And it's so easy to manage (as I don't mine but I did install it to my friends miners)


Very good app!

Features in work. The IP:Port is already integrated and working. We are adding right now some config options, so everybody can define his own dashboard. in this case you can also use the api-miner name instead of the ip address for instance.
i post an update here as soon as the latest version is ready. latest version, without dashboard, but with ip:port configs is released in the next hour.

Cool! How many miners are you controling with it?

New version ready You can use no <IP>:<API Port>
Also we have some cosmetic changes.

Developement goes on. Configure your own dashboard. Goal is to publish it this week!! Stay tuned

Anybody needs authentication to the framework badly?

[labX]

Some screenshots would be nice.

Added some screenshots. You also should check: http://www.crypto-magic.com. Have you tried to install the software?

[JPSelzer]

Your interface for controlling miners is very nice! everything is extremely easy

I'm having trouble using the software. I think it's down to the sqlite database - I've moved it to a non /var/www/ directory and ensured www-data:www-data owns the directory and file, but the index.php page just sits loading for ages until it times out. I set the apache configuration to loglevel debug but i'm not getting anything in there.

Any ideas? is it possible to move the db to mysql?

thanks in advance - i'm really looking forward to trying out the software!

1. Hm, do you have the latest version(yesterday release) from the github or the website?
2. Check if the .htapi.db is writeable
3. Which Apache and PHP Version is running on your system?

its a brand new digital ocean vps running debian 64bit which i provisioned yesterday, and used apt-get to install apache, mysql and php. i used git clone to download your code yesterday morning around 10.00 gmt.

perhaps i should wipe it and start afresh? there's nothing else on the server yet!

[swd80]

Got it working!
I provisioned a new server and went for the Digital Ocean ubuntu LAMP configuration. To get it to work though, I then had to "apt-get install php5-sqlite" (after apt-get upgrade and update, then apt-get -F install after the first attempt to install php5-sqlite failed) and i also had to "chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www" in order to make the DB writable. (i had tried all of this on the Debian setup but to no avail!)

I'm looking forward to trying it out. I've got a test rig with a little GPU setup so far, but I'm halfway through building a proper one which may be finished tonight.

obviously i also had to open up the port on my home router.

Thanks very much!
