INRI Chain Miner Docker

This repository contains Docker configuration files to run the INRI Chain miner node using Docker containers instead of systemd.

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose
• net-tools (for port checking)

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd inri-miner-docker

2. Make the startup scripts executable:

   chmod +x start-miner.sh
   chmod +x start-miner-with-port-check.sh

Configuration

Before starting the miner, you need to set your wallet address:

export WALLET="0xYourWalletAddress"

Optionally, you can set the number of mining threads:

export MINER_THREADS=4

Usage

Using the Port Checking Script (Recommended)

This script automatically checks for available ports and starts the miner:

./start-miner-with-port-check.sh

Using Docker Compose (Standard Method)

1. Build and start the container:

   docker-compose up -d

2. View logs:

   docker-compose logs -f

3. Stop the miner:

   docker-compose down

Using Docker Directly

1. Build the image:

   docker build -t inri-miner .

2. Run the container:

   docker run -d \
     --name inri-miner \
     -p 8545:8545 \
     -p 8546:8546 \
     -p 30303:30303 \
     -p 30303:30303/udp \
     -e WALLET=$WALLET \
     -e MINER_THREADS=$MINER_THREADS \
     inri-miner

3. View logs:

   docker logs -f inri-miner

4. Stop and remove the container:

   docker stop inri-miner
   docker rm inri-miner

Ports

The following ports are used by the miner:

• 8545: HTTP RPC
• 8546: WebSocket RPC
• 30303: P2P network (TCP and UDP)

If these ports are already in use, the port checking script will automatically find available ports.

Data Persistence

Blockchain data is stored in a Docker volume named inri-data to persist data between container restarts.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

1. Check that your wallet address is correctly set and formatted
2. Verify that the required ports are available on your system
3. Check the container logs for error messages
4. Ensure net-tools is installed for port checking functionality

JavaScript Console Commands

Connecting to Geth Console

# Attach to the running node console
docker exec -it inri-miner geth attach /root/inri/geth.ipc

Useful JavaScript Commands

Balance Check

// Check your wallet balance
eth.getBalance("0xYourWalletAddress")

// Convert to ethers (if it's in wei)
web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance("0xYourWalletAddress"), "ether")

Block Information

// Latest block number
eth.blockNumber

// Details of the latest block
eth.getBlock("latest")

// Latest block number (readable format)
eth.getBlockByNumber("latest").number

// Miner address of the latest block
eth.getBlockByNumber("latest").miner

Check if your address is the miner

// Compare miner address with yours
eth.getBlockByNumber("latest").miner === "0xYourWalletAddress"

Get list of blocks mined by your address

var yourAddress = "0xYourWalletAddress", lastBlock = eth.blockNumber, minedBlocks = []; for (var i = 0; i <= lastBlock; i++) { var block = eth.getBlock(i); if (block.miner.toLowerCase() === yourAddress.toLowerCase()) { minedBlocks.push(block.number); } } minedBlocks

Count mined blocks

var count = 0; var yourAddress = "0xYourWalletAddress"; var lastBlock = eth.blockNumber; for (var i = 0; i <= lastBlock; i++) { var block = eth.getBlock(i); if (block.miner.toLowerCase() === yourAddress.toLowerCase()) { count++; } } count
