satoshiandClaude Opus 4.6 d48035b366 Phase 1: CKPool build infrastructure
Forks CKPool-solo at upstream commit cfb0f83b (v1.0) via a multi-stage
Docker build, with an env-driven entrypoint that renders ckpool.conf from
a template. The pinned commit already includes every fix referenced in
Bassin issue #29 (workbase_id double increment, extended low-power
timeouts, configurable dropidle, vardiff burst handling).

No patches are applied yet — the patches/ directory holds the workflow
and build wiring so Kamado-specific patches can be added incrementally.

Build is portable across aarch64/x86_64: yasm is intentionally omitted
so CKPool falls back to its C SHA256, and CFLAGS override drops upstream's
default -march=native. Runtime image ships ckpool and ckpmsg for socket
debugging; share logging (-L) is enabled by default.

CKPool Patches

Patches applied on top of the upstream CKPool commit pinned in ../CKPOOL_COMMIT.

Patches are applied in alphabetical order by filename. Use a numeric prefix to enforce ordering:

  • 0001-short-description.patch
  • 0002-another-fix.patch

Current state

No patches are applied. The pinned upstream commit (cfb0f83b, tagged as version 1.0) already includes every fix that Bassin issue #29 asked to backport, plus several improvements:

Upstream commit What it fixes
a439cf96 workbase_id double increment bug
590fb2a2 Extended timeouts for low-powered miners (NerdMiner, ESP32)
b13f3eee Configurable dropidle timeout (exposed via our env var)
66db3aa3 Better vardiff for bursty hashers
130c755d Fix unlikely fopen segfault
0bd3d751 Consistent error field in mining.submit rejections
988b2687 Version 1.0 — longstanding stability bump

Kamado therefore starts from a CKPool that is strictly ahead of what Bassin ships today.

When to add a patch

Use this directory for:

  1. Fixes needed before they land upstream (and only after attempting to submit upstream first).
  2. Kamado-specific behavior changes that would not be accepted upstream — e.g. tighter integration hooks with kamado-api.
  3. Temporary workarounds with a clear removal plan, documented in the patch commit message.

Do NOT use this directory for:

  • Pure configuration changes (expose via the entrypoint env vars instead).
  • Build system tweaks (put those in the Dockerfile).

Creating a patch

From a clean clone of upstream at the pinned commit:

git clone https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool.git
cd ckpool
git checkout $(cat /path/to/KamadoPool/ckpool/CKPOOL_COMMIT)
# ... make your changes ...
git diff > /path/to/KamadoPool/ckpool/patches/0001-my-fix.patch

The Dockerfile applies each *.patch file in this directory with git apply --verbose during the build.
