how to install dogecoin or bitcoin miner on a cpanel / centos server with service monitoring

[GumSlone]

Hi there,

after googling and testing different settings out i have made this install instructions for those who would like to run a dogecoin miner on their cpanel / centos server. Including the instructions for monitoring script which restarts your miner in case it crashes.

Here we go:

first of all sign up at http://doge.poolerino.com/index.php and create your worker for mining,

after that you have to open port tcp 3333 in the firewall of your server, a good description can be found here: http://www.liquidweb.com/kb/opening-...your-firewall/

in next step login as a root user to your server via ssh client and add following commands one after another:
(every code block means next command)

yum update

yum install git automake gcc make curl-devel

cd /usr/src

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpuminer/files/pooler-cpuminer-2.4.tar.gz

tar xzf pooler-cpuminer-*.tar.gz

cd cpuminer-*

./configure CFLAGS="-O3“

make

touch /etc/init.d/dogecoin

chmod +x /etc/init.d/dogecoin

open file with nano or vi editor like this:

nano /etc/init.d/dogecoin

and paste this code into the file:

#!/bin/sh

DAEMON=/usr/src/cpuminer-2.4/minerd
PARAMETERS='-B -o stratum+tcp://doge.poolerino.com:3333 --userpass=poolerinousername.workername:workerpassword'

start() {
    echo -n "starting up $DAEMON"
    RUN=`cd / && $DAEMON $PARAMETERS  >& /dev/null`

    if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "Done."
    else
        echo "FAILED."
    fi
}

stop() {
    killall $DAEMON
}

status() {
    killall -0 $DAEMON

    if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "Running."
    else
        echo "Not Running."
    fi
}

case "$1" in                                          
    start)
    start
    ;;

    restart)
    stop
    sleep 2
    start
    ;;

    stop)
    stop
    ;;

    status)
    status
    ;;

    *)
    echo "usage : $0 start|restart|stop|status"
    ;;
esac

exit 0

save the file with ctrl + x

open next file:

nano /etc/chkserv.d/minerd

and add to it

service[minerd]=x,x,x,/etc/init.d/dogecoin start,minerd,root

save the file with ctrl + x

open next file:

nano /etc/chkserv.d/chkservd.conf

and add to the end

minerd:1

save the file with ctrl + x

run next command!

/scripts/restartsrv_chkservd

Done!

P.S. similar installation can be done for the bitcoin mining.

P.P.S. miner will increase your server load
