ckpool-solo validates conf btcaddress once at startup to prime the
coinbase-builder, then pays solves to the worker's stratum address.
The conf value never sees a satoshi, so use the active network's
genesis coinbase address instead of a burn placeholder.
Worker stratum username is the payout address in ckpool-solo, so the
separate field was redundant. Niche vardiff/logging/zmq knobs now
live under an Advanced group with sensible defaults.
New 'tls' union config (disabled by default) spins up an
stunnel4 process inside the container that terminates TLS on
a configurable port (3334 by default) and forwards decrypted
stratum traffic to 127.0.0.1:${STRATUM_PORT}.
Cert is self-signed, generated once on first start with a
10-year validity and persisted at /root/.kamado/tls/ so the
fingerprint stays stable across restarts. SHA-256 fingerprint
is printed to container logs on each startup so users can
pin it on their miners. Miners must connect with
verification disabled (no CA trust chain for a private pool).
Runtime image grows by ~3MB for stunnel4 + openssl. The
supervisor loop now waits on three PIDs and tears all of them
down together if any one exits.
New 'zmq-enabled' boolean (default true) makes the entrypoint
export BITCOIN_ZMQ_BLOCK=tcp://<bitcoind-host>:28332, which
kamado-api's zmqmon subscribes to for sub-second chain refresh
on the dashboard. Disable it if your bitcoind doesn't have
zmqpubhashblock exposed.
Previous scaffold referenced a non-existent 'make ckpool-src'
target. Rewritten to inline the real build steps from the
upstream KamadoPool repo: clone ckpool at CKPOOL_COMMIT, apply
patches/*.patch, build with the same portable CFLAGS the
ckpool Dockerfile uses. The ui and api stages now match
api/Dockerfile exactly.
Entrypoint now uses the same env-var interface as the upstream
ckpool entrypoint (POOL_BTCADDRESS, BITCOIN_RPC_*, STRATUM_PORT,
etc.) and renders ckpool.conf from the bundled template via
sed. kamado-api env vars corrected to match config.FromEnv
(BITCOIN_RPC_URL, CKPOOL_SOCKDIR, CKPOOL_LOGFILE, LISTEN_ADDR).
Exposes stratum-port in the StartOS config UI so users running
simpleproxy or another TCP forwarder can point Kamado at a
non-default port. Entrypoint substitutes the value into
ckpool.conf serverurl.
Also pins placeholder KAMADO_SHA in the Dockerfile — swap to a
real pushed commit before the first build.
Multi-stage Dockerfile clones KamadoPool at a pinned SHA, builds
ckpool and kamado-api (with embedded Svelte UI), runtime image
supervises both processes via tini + wait -n. Config covers
bitcoind mainnet/testnet4 variant, payout address, coinbase tag,
vardiff knobs, and log level. Web UI interface only — stratum
:3333 requires a router port-forward or simpleproxy workaround
because StartOS 0.3.x does not forward raw TCP on LAN.
TODO before first build: pin KAMADO_REPO + KAMADO_SHA in the
Dockerfile to a pushed commit.
