Configuration

bitfarmer can be configured through the guided prompts or manually with the editor provided. If no configuration has been saved, the user will be prompted to create one with the guided prompts. It is recommended to use the guided menus to edit the configuration rather than manually.

The configuration file is located at:

• Linux: $HOME/.config/bitfarmer/conf.json

Configuration Variables:

• tod_schedule: Time of Day (TOD) schedule to turn miners that are designated as tod[true|false] on or off.
  • days are a list that contains the days the TOD applies ([Monday - Sunday]).
  • hours are a list of integers that correspond to the 24 hour clock ([0 - 23]). Minutes are not available.
  • exceptions are a list of days in the format mm/dd/yyyy that are days where the TOD schedule does not apply.
• view: How will the stats be viewed in the terminal (full|small).
• icons: Enable icons (true|false). Requires nerd fonts to be installed.
• editor: Editor to be used when manually editing the configuration (Use vim).
• ntp: NTP servers bitfarmer uses to get accurate time.
• pools: List of mining pool urls to assign miners to.
• miners: List of machines to be controlled and monitored by bitfarmer.
  • ip: IP address of machine. Must be online when adding via the guided method.
  • type: Miner type (DG1+/Volcminer)
  • login: Login user (usually root)
  • password: Login user password
  • tod: Is miner behind TOD meter (true|false)
  • primary_pool: Pool url that will be set as the primary pool url in the miner.
  • primary_pool_user: Pool username that will be set as the primary pool username in the miner.
  • primary_pool_pass: Pool password that will be set as the primary pool password in the miner.
  • secondary_pool: Pool url that will be set as the secondary pool url in the miner.
  • secondary_pool_user: Pool username that will be set as the secondary pool username in the miner.
  • secondary_pool_pass: Pool password that will be set as the secondary pool password in the miner.
