Hey folks, I want to create a (multi)pool for Zcash (Equihash) and Monero (cryptonight), but I don't know how to do that, I can install them seperately but I'm not sure how to install them both in the pool, can anyone please help me out how to do this, any suggestions? Thank you very much!
There are multiple ways to accomplish this through virtualization, containerization, isolated servers behind different subdomains, global server load balancing, etc. They DO NOT need to run in the same process tree. Most likely, they should not run in the same process tree to provent any cross-communication/contamination. If one of your mining pools gets compromised/overloaded, you wouldn't want it to crash your other pools (e.g. your ZCash pool being overloaded crashing your ZenCash pool). Also, you'll need to take into account the security of the intermediary wallets handling the payouts.
If you're planning on setting the multi-pool up for public use I would highly recommend creating a single pool environment, running it for a while, then see if diving into multi-pool (possible single sign on [SSO]) support is something you really want to do. For this to work you'll need to manage multiple databases or create your own database to backend multiple coins (whether or not you maintain them separately is up to you. I have mine setup in a single database cross-coin for better Single Sign On).
