Topic: [Minera v0.9.0] Your next mining dashboard - S9/L3+/D3/CPUminer/CGminer/BFGminer - page 47. (Read 850502 times)

If your PC's OS is Linux you can install Minera there and elect it as "master". If you run Windows, no you can't. From your PC you can control any Minera but you can't install it if it's Windows.

Yes Minera runs Raspbian as default OS, but why do you install it manually? Get the minera-latest.img file put it in your SD Card and put your SD Card into your RPI3.
It should work without doing anything else.

Follow this steps https://github.com/michelem09/minera/wiki/Getting-started#standard-install

Is it possible to master my PC instead of one of my rapberries?

In each Minera setup the --api-allow setting (Api Allow) for your Raspberry Network LAN address like "W:192.168.1.0/24"

Then elect one of your Minera as the "master" one and add from it each of the other Minera instances as Network miners (you can use also the Scan Network button)

From the master one you should be able to monitor the others as network miners. (you can only monitor not manage)

If I'm mining on 20 raspberries how would I install Minera to actually look over all of them?

mine is running perfectly on a PI2

Would bfgminer and minera run on PI 3?

About the image since is mention boot up controler,
So that minera img has to contain raspbian OS I hope! Correct?

While using RASPBIAN JESSIE, I done the following:

Via putty I ran the following:
sudo raspi-config (by doing the rest:
1) Enable SSH
2( enlarge file system
3) overclock PI as high
reboot

So I have access to GUI using destop remote connection(DRC) in windows, I download and install 'xrdp' via putty:
sudo apt-get install xrdp

I know there a way using startx to access GUI there some error message as:
'user x has no control or cannot access GUI but this can only be dong using (DRC) to my knowledge.

All the rest were still connected via putty



sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

The following came from manuual install:

sudo apt-get install -y lighttpd php5-cgi
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
sudo service lighttpd force-reload

after web server minera is ready to be install:

sudo apt-get install -y redis-server git screen php5-cli php5-curl
cd /var/www
sudo git clone https://github.com/michelem09/minera
cd minera
sudo ./install_minera.sh

Is this all I need doing for masnual instal?

During at some some point during last statement I came across the following screen:



Since I didn't know if should have change a thing, I selected no configurion (frst option) from next screen
But I saw few item on that screen dealing with email and ect...
local only was last option on that screen

Can you explain what should I be doing with the above screens?
This might have cause problems as to why minera couldn't locate run bfgminer including statements similar to windows!



Don't know but it might have easier download and install bfgmner instead of minera!

Until I get another PI, I am using both units on windows!

When I get that new PI and if I should experience then, I'll simply will go back to bfgminer tread and go from there!

Why would there be add pool in dashboard if something is already set in setting?
Does this mean to re-enter same as in settings?


yup ,the only way i know of is use setting to set  all most all the setting in minera.

Just looked never notice you could add pools with out going into setting learn some thing  new every day > thanks

and yea it's the same as setting just a faster way of doing it.

also you can set a lot of pools for fast pool switching .

Fail over what that means is if your main pool goes down and your not there to fix it , it should auto over to the next pool in the list then once your main pool comes back on line it should go back to it.
  

I have minera controlling one of these http://holybitcoin.com/product/avalon-4-1-1-0-1-3-ths-sha256-bitcoin-miner/   i like using minera over the openwrt gui type miner it comes with.

Ya ZOu, explained pretty well!

Yes, I am able access that url without any problems!

While being inside minera:
I do wish to focus on folowing for now (dashboard and settings)

I know inside dashboard we see local miner and pool also

Settings: My mining pool including url port, user and password is set

Why would there be add pool in dashboard if something is already set in setting?
Does this mean to re-enter same as in settings?

Once I this clear I'll be dealing with bfgminer

til you understand it better I would download the ready made image it has everything in it's usually up to date in one package but sense you pretty much have most of it down . look at the per made image first . if you manual install it you more then  likely will have to install all the software miners etc and know how to deal with software errors which everyone here will help but the software miners  don't all ways install on a manual install.

cheek this out it explains a lot . https://getminera.com/help by all means look at the links for help ZOu said something about .minera is very user friendly or the GUI part is.


To install everything, this was done via putty (SSH), without accessing raspberry GUI,
If you do a manual install yes


what this right step and if not what should have been changed?

not sure what you mean was it a manual install ?

While being on raspberry GUI, Was I suppose seeing minera icon?

no icon i know of or do like zOU said

just point your browser to your raspberry IP followed by /minera.

http://***.***.***.***/minera ..

you to make more clear


http://192.168.1.whatever the the rasp pi berry IP is /minera

How to copy desktop shortcut of that file?
 no short cut  im a ware of .

I see bfgminer under minera-bin directory.

Is this already to be execute and without building or compiling?

https://github.com/michelem09/minera

Building miner software

Since version 0.3.6 Minera comes with a script to build updated version of every single miner software.

If you are in trouble with your binary file of Bfgminer for example, you can simply connect in SSH and run this:

Cd /var/www/minera
./build_miner.sh  

or like this

Cd /var/www/minera
 ./build_miner.sh bfgminer

The script will do everything you need to have the binary file in the correct place and updated.

If you need a list of miner available just run the command without any argument.

just point your browser to your raspberry IP followed by /minera.

http://***.***.***.***/minera

Toptek@

Much appreciate leading me here from bfgminer thread.

I managed installing as shown on manual install instead using image and everything is there.

I have few questions:
To install everything, this was done via putty (SSH), without accessing raspberry GUI,
Before receiving url leading to my device, I came with a blue screen showing list of configurations.

Since I didn't know which ones to use, I just things as it is by pressing OK
what this right step and if not what should have been changed?

Now I terminated putty and accessed raspberry GUI via windows desktop remote connection.
While being on raspberry GUI, Was I suppose seeing minera icon?
I surely don't see it.

I see minera.json file under minera directory!
How to copy desktop shortcut of that file?

I see bfgminer under minera-bin directory.

Bfgminer version installed should support it. Otherwise you can always add your custom miner.

Please, minera still don´t support "extranonce subscription" function from Nicehash?

Thanks

heads up if you use ubuntu 15 it offer u to upgrade ubuntu 16 think first it removes a few thing with a more up to date version that minera needs to work like php5 to php7.0 minera stops anyone got a fix for that yet. or how to replace that .

Reading state information... Done
Package php5-cli is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  php7.0-cli

Package php5-curl is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'php5-cli' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'php5-curl' has no installation candidate
Changing permissions on Minera dir


nm fixed it ").

like this remove
then install
then remove

then install

worked for me im now running ubuntu 16 LTS with minera

ahh interesting, I will look into it, i have many RPI 3 that i can play around with, beats having a crap load of computers    I run windows 10, and on 2 laptop, and 1 with win 7 just to keep things in perspective that way if i have a problem i can move it to the w7 system, or ubuntu, and see if its an os issue.  I like minera hand have been using it since it came out.

cool kind of why i said try it's becoming the standard for RPI 2 and 3 is now or heading into the Ubuntu area but it only works on RPI 2 and 3 or higher unless you want to do it your self which from what i see might a be a real pain to do .

but if your fine with how it is go for it . that was just a tip i discovered one day by mistake I was having issue even with RASPBIAN JESSIE and try to Use Ubuntu server version now don't care much for the desktop version and yes also use windows 10 on my PCs and not ten for PI's don't care much for it   .the server version is pretty basic there is two version of it one is watered down even more etc .

U 16 is due out tomorrow so I'll  be redoing all my PI types im able to install it on just for the fun of doing it .

I have been using the setup that i describe earlier since that post, and all my miners are running solid as a rock, as a matter of fact,  they have "never" ran as well as they are now so I am very impressed, especially with a multi pool.    I have always tried to stay with the basic raspberry pi since most developers for the pie  try to use a standard at least that would be my thoughts that way your not running around building a new patch for every os on the block lol

if you happen to get get or use rpi 2 or 3 later try  Ubuntu 15 or 16 server standard version it much much better then Jesse . just a tip . but it only works on the rpi 2 and 3 and other pi types if you have them.

i use it with my ginseed g-balde zeus cyclone and  Alcheminer 256 .and minera

You are free to do what you want, as I'm free to do what I want. To solve your issue just remove any ad block for your Minera IP and you are done. Or pay 4 bucks. Or use your PI manually with your cgminer.
