Config location¶

You may adjust config into /etc/alephium/user.conf

Mining¶

Install the package according to your hardware

• CPU : alephium-cpu
• GPU (Nvidia) : alephium-gpu

Update the file /etc/default/alephium-common and change the MINE_WITH attribute.

Finally, restart or start the service with systemctl restart alephium-miner.

Proxy with Nginx¶

If you need to reach remotely the API, you can use Nginx as relay. This way, Nginx can add the missing TLS layer to encrypt requests.

Warning : don't expose this API over the internet. This setup is probably not secure enough unless you protect your Nginx with a password.

Install Nginx package

apt -y install nginx

Remove default website.

rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Add create new file /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/alephium with the following content.

server {
    server_name _;
    client_max_body_size 2M;

   location / {
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:12973;
   }

    listen 80;
}

Reload nginx

systemctl reload nginx
