Sorry to hear that. Machinaris is simply a WebUI in front of the standard Chia binaries, bundled in the Docker image. I've been on a week's vacation, so I missed this post. If you decide to try Machinaris again, please try dropping into the Discord server for more interactive assistance.

Good day, your mnemonic seed phrase is the private key that points to your wallet and plotnft on the blockchain. Please ensure you are using the same seed phrase on both your Windows and Unraid systems. See: https://github.com/guydavis/machinaris/wiki/Keys#import-key-mnemonic Once fully synced, check your Settings | Pools page (or enter "chia plotnft show") at the Docker console for Machinaris. Hope this helps!

Hi, try the following to investigate the issue of plot count, run via the Docker Console for the Machinaris container on Unraid: env | grep -i plots_dir chia plots show chia farm summary If the "plots show" includes some folders you're not expecting, they can be removed with: chia plots remove -d /some/container/directory If all above is correct and you're still seeing incorrect Plot Count on both Summary and Farming page, then please consult the logs looking for errors.

Hi, I think the issue is that Machinaris needs to know about all the various directories which hold your plots (regardless of type). Please verify that your "plots_dir" variable is set to a colon-separated list of all your in-container paths. Double-check there is not a duplicate variable by toggling Advanced View and clicking 'Show more settings." Details here. Interesting, maybe your Flax blockchain or wallet are not fully synced? I've gotten a few XFX so far and they did eventually show up. You could check their Github and report an Issue. Hope this helps!

Hi, I haven't tried this myself, but heard from some it works. Try copying the entire mainnet folder over from Windows and placing it here: /mnt/user/appdata/machinaris/mainnet Do that with the Machinaris container stopped, then restart. I would take a backup of your existing /mnt/user/appdata/machinaris/mainnet folder before you do this though.

Hi, since we're on the Unraid forum, I assume we're talking about a Machinaris install on Unraid. If so, you can access your Machinaris container environment variables on the Unraid Admin UI | Docker | select Machinaris from list, choose Edit: Hope this helps!

Hi! Please ensure you have one environment variable named 'plots_dir' with key=plots_dir and with value=/plots:/chiapoolplots. Then restart the Machinaris container. Hope this helps.

Network | Connections page. Notice the 'Add Connection' button. Yes, Blockchain sync occurs from start of the chain on March 19th and runs forward to current datetime. So your sync is a couple of weeks back. Hope this helps.

Absolutely! You really want to be creating the new portable plots now, not the original solo plots anymore. As you say, with portable plots (new pool_contract_address, not the old pool_pk) you can either: Self pool. When you win a block, you will earn all the XCH rewards OR Join a pool and get consistent XCH farming rewards. The average returns are the same, but it is much less volatile. You can easily switch pools without having to re-plot. With portable plots you can switch between both selections, if you change your mind, above using the same plots.

Hi, sorry for any confusion. To plot new portable plots, you must comment out pool_pk and uncomment pool_contract_address in your Settings | Plotting page. If the keyword pool_contract_address is present in the file, as shown in the wiki example, then the correct value will be automatically filled in.

Hi! Please provide some more details about the issue. As well, please see the Troubleshooting page on the Machinaris wiki. For more interactive support, join the Discord server.

Sorry, I am working to improve the user feedback when a plotman.yaml with certain errors is saved. Should be improved in next release. In the meantime, for case above, please open the Unraid Docker Console for Machinaris and type: plotman status This command will output the formatting or config problem in the plotman.yaml. Once the config issue is resolved, then you should be able to start plotting. Examples to work from: chia plotter and madmax plotter

Well, it's probably a mode=fullnode so it's doing everything except plotting. Try a restart of the container and see if it drops. I restarted yesterday and am at ~3GB. You may want to pull the latest test version of Machinaris which includes Chia 1.2.1 (soon 1.2.2) as its my understanding that Chia 1.2.0 was a bit of a resource hog.

Run that show-mnemonic-seed command on both the original Windows system and also the Unraid system. It sounds like you'll see different phrases, meaning you are likely using two different private keys.

Hi! Yes, the pool selection is linked to the plotnft you created on Windows, tied to your private key (aka mnemonic seed-phrase - 24-words). So when you setup Machinaris on Unraid, enter the same 24-word mnemonic during setup. Then once the blockchain and wallet are fully synced on Unraid, you'll see your previous pool selection there. No need to re-join a pool on Unraid. See the wiki for details.

Yes, full sync from an initial state can take a while. Check the status on the Network | Connections page. Also, you can try adding an introducer there too from this list.

Check the Network | Connections page. Also look for Synced status on both Wallet and Network | Blockchain pages. Compare different pools here.

Machinaris bundles latest Madmax plotter, controlled through the WebUI. You can switch by changing "plotting:type:" field on Settings | Plotting page. Take a look at the wiki for Madmax, including sample config.

Yes, joining a pool is a good idea. Machinaris v0.5.0 was released just last week with support for official Chia pools. Take a look at the wiki docs and give it a try.

Great, to have you on board. No need to register, you can start with Machinaris and create a new key. Take a look at the Unraid installation steps. Support info at the top of that page if you get stuck.

Hi! No need to edit config.yaml of Chia directly. Just set the 'plots_dir' variable to be the in-container paths to each volume. In particular, there is a in-container path of '/plots' which might map to Unraid host path of: /mnt/user/data/chia_plots You also have an Unraid host path of '/mnt/remotes/SYNOLOGY_Chia/Plots', so make sure you volume mount it as '/plots2' or similar as the in-container path. Then 'plots_dir' variable for you would be: /plots:/plots2 Notice that no Unraid host paths are in the plots_dir variable, only the in-container volume mount paths they map to. Hope this helps. Finally, be sure to switch to "Advanced View" when editing Machinaris config in Unraid Docker tab. Delete any duplicate Variables where name not equal to key. Once you've verified all settings, click Done and Machinaris will restart.

Glad to hear Machinaris is working well for you. No need to launch a second instance of Machinaris. You can use multiple temp plotting drives. From just one install, you can run multiple concurrent plot processes. Works best with chia plotter, though some are experimenting with staggered Madmax (like 2 at a time offset) I think.

Currently, not through the Machinaris interface. However, you can run a plot check and look for 'Pool public key' to be set to None, which implies a 'pool contract address' instead. Like this:

Hi, sorry to hear you're having trouble. Please switch to main release, rather than :develop branch. Also, try setting the worker's IP in worker_address on the worker launch as the fullnode can't reach it by name. So assuming the worker has started successfully (check the logs), then its either a DNS issue or firewall.

Yeah, sorry again for this. To fully correct, you want your `plots_dir` to have Key: plots_dir (not /plots). Like this:
