xmrig-nvidia docker container

This container allows running xmrig-nvidia in a docker container. You need to have already installed nvidia-docker to enable passthru on the nvidia card(s). You will also need to have the cuda-drivers installed. Run the docker container with --runtime=nvidia to enable the passthrough.

Tags

CUDA driver versions correspond to the following tags

• 10.0 (latest)
• 9.2
• 9.1
• 9.0

CUDA drivers

Installing cuda drivers on ubuntu 16.04 is the easiest way to get things going. You can install the drivers with apt-get install --no-install-recommends cuda-drivers. Make sure to reboot after installing new drivers.

If you have an NVIDIA graphics card in your docker host, you can leverage this card to provide additional hashing power. xmrig-nvidia can be used in parallel with the cpu miner.

Docker

This docker image in available on docker hub.

This image uses the official nvidia/cuda:10.0-base image for the base, so we always have the latest nvidia cuda infrastructure in place.

Example

# run a dockerized miner
# -o and all following arguments are passed to the xmrig-nvidia miner process
docker run --runtime=nvidia -it -d --name xmrig-nvidia patsissons/xmrig-nvidia -o ca.minexmr.com:5555 --donate-level 1 -u 47NHecs6qjvDcbx3eW6cDGDwdm3gDqbHs7G8hzPYRxf3YRTcDJw8kXhDxfHinsjHUwVwdFusSn76UHkaz68KurUgHvFmPMH.github -p x -k

Compatibility

Currently nvidia-docker only works in linux, this may change as nvidia-docker evolves. This means that this container works best on a bare metal docker host or a linux based virtual machine docker host (I think VT-d is necessary for a virtual machine docker host).

Building

A Dockerfile is also included for building the xmrig-nvidia app. See the README for more detailed instructions on how to build the runtime container.
