July 12, 20215 yr I am setting up a remote harvester on an unraid machine using this container. Everytime I start the container the farmer_peer host seems to reset to null and wont connect to my full node running on another machine in the lan. I already imported the ssl keys and everything else. I am having trouble with this. I am running the machinaris:develop container harvester: chia_ssl_ca: crt: config/ssl/ca/chia_ca.crt key: config/ssl/ca/chia_ca.key farmer_peer: host: 'null' port: 8447 Edited July 12, 20215 yr by wdaniel52601

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.
July 12, 20215 yr Edited : Figured out the problem. Thank you Didn't realize there were three thing I had to put in. Had the farmer address missing. -t -e controller_host=10.0.0.100 -e farmer_address=10.0.0.100 -e worker_address=10.0.0.90 Edited July 12, 20215 yr by wdaniel52601
July 12, 20215 yr Hello, I have a question. Is it enough to join a pool for the generated plots to be portable or do I need to do more ? Thanks !

All you need are some portable plots and you're good to go. Make sure they are plotted with the correct farmer_pk, pool_contract_address keys. You can find this in the bottom of the plotman.yaml file.
July 12, 20215 yr recently decided to join the Chia craze and may as well utilize my unraid server as its sitting idle most of the time. my plan is to use additional storage to do this. What i have so far: I have created a new cache pool just for Chia 3 14tb hard drives to use as unassigned devices what i need: HELP!!! so i think i need to install this container, do i already need to have registered first for Chia? can i do it in this container? is there an idiots guide? any suggestions would be appreciated
July 12, 20215 yr Hi all, This has probably been discussed already but there are alot of posts on this forum to go through... I am looking at add a synology NAS share that holds some plots to my farm. I have added "unasighned devices" plugin and have created a shere that i mount at my unraid start. However, I cannot work out how to add the plots share to my farm config I have added the below config to the "plot_directories" num_threads: 30 plot_directories: - /plots - /mnt/remotes/SYNOLOGY_Chia/Plots plot_loading_frequency_seconds: 120 however, they are not loading on my farm... how would I go about fixing this as so the plots in the remote share will load on my unraid farm? Thanks SImon

July 12, 20215 yr just wanted to make sure this was correct. I have a standard wallet and 2 pooling wallets. My pool I joined is on wallet ID 2, and it appears to be functioning properly. Wasn't sure if wallet ID 3 should be any concern. I had joined and left another pool previously before figuring out how to properly setup my pool and plotting. Only wallet ID 2 and 3 show up on my pooling page. I'm seeing frequent partials as well on my pool. Edited July 12, 20215 yr by sworcery
July 12, 20215 yr 11 hours ago, guy.davis said: Yeah, sorry again for this. To fully correct, you want your `plots_dir` to have Key: plots_dir (not /plots). Like this: Hey, thanks for replying and also thanks for developing this. For the record, the 'culprit' is the 2nd entry of plots_dir which doesn't have an edit button. That being said, I did change this one to the correct value (along with the first one). I also had to go into config.yaml and and manually add the 2nd folder. Now I have this in there: plot_directories: - /plotting2 - /plots - /plots,/plotting2 Everything works as intended now and I do see everything properly listed on the farming page. Thanks!
July 12, 20215 yr Hey all. I'm successfully running a full node on my unraid setup and it's going well, but I have another temp drive that I can be running a second plotter on. How can I add another docker to my same setup as just a plotter, and a seperate config, etc etc? I've tried already with no success. The WebGUI brings up the same instance, even though I've named it differently during setup. Is there any info on setting up an additional docker to run along side the main node as a plotter only? Thanks for any help!
July 12, 20215 yr Is there a way to figure out which plots are portable and which are solo or OG plots? I have them separated, but not sure if the plotter is configured right.

Please ensure you: Expand the 'Advanced View' switch when editing Machinaris container settings on Unraid | Docker tab. Click the 'Show more settings' link to expand all settings. Verify that you do not have duplicates of env vars: plots_dir, blockchains, and auto_plot. If you have duplicates, delete the one where the name is not equal to key, then restart Machinaris. Apologies if I missed it, but how do I go about deleting these extra environment variables? There is no Edit/Remove buttons beside the extra variables...

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: Edited July 12, 20215 yr by guy.davis

Thanks for any help! 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.
July 12, 20215 yr Author 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. Edited July 12, 20215 yr by guy.davis

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.

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.

July 13, 20215 yr Hello, I'm having an issue with the 0.5.0 version and PlotsNFT. I'm already using Machinaris since few weeks in a separate wallet for solo Plot. My new PlotsNFT has been created with a new separate wallet and I successfully farmed via Windows GUI. I create a new Machinaris instance with the new wallet, node is synced, wallet is synced and I can saw the pool join under the relative section. However, in Machinaris dashboard Chia Netspace is always "?" and no plots shows. If I run "chia plots check" i received this warning: "WARNING Plot /xxx/xxx.plot has a farmer public key that is not in the farmer's pk list." I read in some thread that for harvester you need to export CA from the main node, but in my case I have setted up a full node, so for what I understand CA copy shound be necessary. Any suggestion? Thanks

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.
