chiamon VS machinaris

I’m a bit of a monitoring nerd, and when I first got into chia I wrote the chia-exporter for Prometheus and put together chiamon, which just glues together a bunch of industry-standard monitoring tools (which I was already running anyways). Seeing people struggle with installing and configuring all that showed me that there’s a need for a simpler solution for less-technical people who only care about monitoring chia. More than I was willing or able to take on, so kudos. I probably don’t have a lot of time to help with your project either, but I’d be happy to help out where I can.

Hey, I also have something similar - but sadly not for plotting (yet).https://imgur.com/a/rPuqK3c.Used https://github.com/retzkek/chiamon and customized it a bit.

Thanks! I don't have the resources (or motivation) to test and package for all the different ecosystems that chia can run on. I myself am using a niche system - freebsd. If there was community interest in building it out maybe a github project could be in the future. Besides, there are already some great setups out there using grafana.

There are tools like ChiaMon that you could use; https://github.com/retzkek/chiamon

I use Grafana and Prometheus, with various exporters to collect metrics on everything. Add promtail and Loki for logs to really spice it up. See my example setup: https://github.com/retzkek/chiamon

The goal is to have some kind of dashboard (like chiamon) with all active/inactive plotters and be able to control them through the network. Ideally even upload the finished plots directly to the NAS through the network. Following the HiveOS example.

No need to worry, HAOS has docker. You can use docker to get chia or use Machinaris

Greetings! I'm the author of Machinaris. Sorry to hear you are encountering an issue with plotting. You mentioned the Bladebit wiki page, but please also try the troubleshooting steps. Feel free to drop into the Discord for additional help.

You could try running it in Docker: https://github.com/guydavis/machinaris/wiki/Flax

One 2TB sata spinning disk with the following paths mentioned below ( host path for config and plots) The pod/docker is set up as follows per this guide: https://github.com/guydavis/machinaris/wiki/TrueNAS Host Path for Machinaris Configuration Volume * /mnt/Shia/config

Definitely a nice idea and 100% possible! As far as I can tell, it would require some install scripts and integration into the machinaris UI, and I can't promise when I will have the time to look into that. In the meantime, you could create an issue on the machinaris repo like this one. That's how farmr.net got integrated in to machinaris by the owner.

Check out Machinaris which offers a WebUI for plotting & farming multiple blockhains including Chia, Flax, MMX, etc Details at: https://www.machinaris.app

Good question! Please see the Machinaris wiki for details.

Absolutely! And you don't need to transfer any plots for that to work. You will need run a fullnode in any location with port 8444 for chia accessible. And then in any other location you can run a plotter+harvester that will report plot proofs to the fullnode. You can do this very easily with wireguard VPN and I would recommend to use machinaris in a distributed setup
