October 18, 20241 yr I am building an offsite server which I will back up my existing unraid on to. it may take a number of days to back up to this offsite server and I have the almost free electric bill. I am going to have a lot of downtime on the server once its all backed up and just doing the small updates etc. I am thinking about putting it to work and do some nicehash mining on it with a Radeon or Nividia GPU. There are some old GPUs which are still profitable believe it or not. Has anyone tried this? What is the best way to go about it? Any dockers you are aware of that can fully utilize the GPU 100% all the time? I may also need to overclock the GPU somehow, which is why I ask if there is an easy way to handle all that over in a docker etc. I still want to be able to access the unraid box remotely while its mining though, so I am not going to tax the CPU so it can be left alone to deal with the unraid server itself, it will be an i5 something something. Please share thoughts. Feel free to discourage this idea if you like, I am open to all ideas, feedback. We are all here to learn.

October 21, 20241 yr Not run gpu mining specifically, but have personally run long term gpu intensive tasks like foldingathome, library transcodes, hdd mining plotting etc. There's a few good nvidia related plugins and settings you might want to setup, but the main thing is that your system is stable. Also note there won't be any fancy UI for overclocking... OS like Hive is the place to go for those features as its dedicated for this task.

Do you know if Hive can run in a VM?
