plotman VS machinaris

Yes, see https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-plotter for plotting with a ramdisk and https://github.com/ericaltendorf/plotman to automate everything.

Plotman is what you want. You can plot on multiple drives (tmp), then cache the completed plots on destination drives/directories (dst). Then the archive function can rsync them to an array of archive drives. Very easy to modify the config .yaml file then run "plotman plot" and "plotman archive". https://github.com/ericaltendorf/plotman

Plotman: v0.5.1

Yeah. Plotman config guide shows you how to set it up for madmax. Its as easy as changing the "type" variable in the config file from "chia" to "madmax" and then changing your other plotting variables to what they should be be for madmax.

Madmax plotter, Swar plot manager, and Plotman plot manager all support portable plots for pools now. Others probably do, but I'm not as familiar with them. Update to the latest versions for the best results, and double-check your configuration files as some settings may have changed since your last update. And you can also use plot managers with Madmax these days, if you want to take advantage of workflow management (multiple destination drives, parallel plotting on bigger plotters, less scrolly logs, etc).

The v0.5 plotman includes support for madmax plotting as well as chia pool plotting. If you're feeling brave, update your plotman with: pip install --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/ericaltendorf/plotman@main

from the default config:

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
