this all showing that the pool software is not properly setup and build and the npm version may be mismatch which lead to not able to work

Thank you, I have a basic understanding of the establishment of the swimming pool. Cheers

Is this guide still actual?

I tried following this guide in trying to setup a PinkCoin pool.  My setup is as follows:

Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
4 GB RAM
2 vCPU
Running on ESXI 6.5 host.

PinkCoin Daemon is compiled running and blockchain is sync'd

I get to the section of

Code:

git clone https://github.com/UNOMP/unified-node-open-mining-portal.git unomp

Code:

cd unomp

Code:

sudo npm update

This is where I get the following error

Code:

It seems that I have all the correct packages installed as I followed the guide to the letter.  Is it possible that I need an older version of Ubuntu Server?  Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Did you manage to get this working? I am stuck about here too.

You will be able to get past this issue running Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS.  I have not yet gotten PinkCoin added because I've been slammed at work with SAN and VMWare Migrations.  Hopefully be able to try soon.  I am wondering though what is the current standard production build that most pool operators are running.  Have not gotten an answer.  I also tried channels #mpos, #crypto-expert, #nomp, and #unomp on freenode and have not gotten a reply.  Try to follow the guide using the LiteCoin daemon then try adding other coins.  That is what I'm going to do next.

Not sure if there is something to allow running on the latest release of Ubuntu, but 14.04.5 will definitely get you past the npm update issue.  Hope this helps some and please let me know if you are successful.

Thank you for the insight, will try to get to the bottom of it.  Maybe you can shed light on my other question of what is the most common standard production mining pool build that most pool operators are running today.  I see a lot running MPOS.

Here is an interesting link on github

Code:

https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/18395

Looks like there are newer nodejs and npm versions.  Maybe need to look further here for the issues encountered running Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS.  Problem is I'm an infrastructure person not a developer.

Watch out for the "duplicate shares exploit" -- I'm not seeing a fix for this problem affecting most pools.

Second time this has been mentioned on this thread. Could you provide a link to this exploit? Curious as to why it hasn't been solved since two years ago :/

Just wondering if anyone knows how to setup a multiple coin. Also is this guide a good one to follow even if i do not want to do Litecoin or Bitcoin?

I have created a guide on how to create your own mining pool for a single crypto-currency (not a multipool). I tried to make it as novice friendly as possible and explain every step. All you really need is a very, very basic knowledge of Linux and some patience. I feel like it's important for crypto that more people are capable of running a mining pool, or at least have the knowledge of it.

******NEW GUIDE!!!******
http://blockgen.net/blog/setup-your-own-mining-pool/


Here's the OLD LEGACY guide:
http://blockgen.net/blog/novices-guide-to-setting-up-a-crypto-currency-mining-pool/

Here is an example of what you would be setting up if you follow the guide:
http://miningpool.website/

All the software used in the guide is free/open source.

I will try and create more guides as time goes on. I will also support the guides I currently have, so feel free to ask any questions pertaining to the guide. Anybody else that is knowledgeable with mining pool software, or linux feel free to help other users.

I will check this thread occasionally and try to answer some questions.

Very helpful,,,thanks for the guidelines.. i will to learn

many thx dude, I succeed to build a pool by following the steps you posted

I am stuck at the "npm update" section.. I always get error messages, which Ubuntu version you tried?

[alfons4790]

I have a mining rig of 2 1050ti 4gb and 1060 6gb nvidia cards. Can you plz help me? I am newbie. And most of the available mining pool setup related posts online are for Ubuntu.
