Containerized Chia Node

Features:

• Fork of official Chia node
• Includes madMAx plotter
• Includes official chia PoS plot validator

Usage

Pulling the image

docker pull ghcr.io/xorde-nodes/chia-node:latest

Running

Quick start simple setup

docker run -d --name chia-node \
	ghcr.io/xorde-nodes/chia-node:latest

Node with external plots

Please replace /slow-disk/chia-plots with some path on a host server where you plan to keep chia plots

docker run -d --name chia-node \
    -v /{slow-disk}/chia-plots:/plots \
	ghcr.io/xorde-nodes/chia-node:latest

Update running node

docker pull ghcr.io/xorde-nodes/chia-node:latest
docker restart chia-node

Using madMAx plotter

1. Create RAM disk

Please note that you will need to re-create it after each reboot.

You need at least 128Gb RAM available for RAM drive to operate.

mkdir -p /tmp/ram-disk
sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=110G tmpfs /tmp/ram-disk/

2. Run chia-node docker container

We need to run chia-node with all required disks mounted inside:

• Slow persistent plot storage
• Fast plotting disk
• RAM disk

docker run -d --name chia-node \
    -v /{slow-disk}/chia-node/plots:/plots \
    -v /{fast-dist}/chia-node:/tmp/plots \
    -v /tmp/ram-disk:/tmp/ram-disk \
    -v chia-node-mainnet:/root/.chia/mainnet/ \
	ghcr.io/xorde-nodes/chia-node:latest

3. Run chia plot

Minimal run:

docker exec -it chia-node chia_plot \
  -n <plot-count> \
  -t /tmp/plots/ \
  -2 /tmp/ram-disk \
  -d /plots/ \
  -c <pool-contract-address> \
  -f <farmer-public-key> 

• Plot count: use -1 for plotting indefinitely, plot size is roughly 100Gb, so you can calculate how many plots your storage can handle.
• Pool contract address can be found with chia plotnft show in "Pool contract address" value
• Farmer public key can be found with chia keys show in "Farmer public key" value
