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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Kamado Pool
|
|
|
|
A modern, feature-complete solo Bitcoin mining pool built on a patched fork of CKPool, with a real-time web dashboard and a Go-based API middleware that surfaces everything CKPool knows.
|
|
|
|
## Why Kamado?
|
|
|
|
Existing CKPool-based solutions (like Bassin for Umbrel) read only a handful of periodic stats files and miss most of CKPool's rich data. Kamado talks directly to CKPool's Unix socket API to expose:
|
|
|
|
- Real-time per-client data: hashrate, difficulty, user agent, hardware detection
|
|
- Full block-found history with height, hash, reward, and solving worker
|
|
- Per-worker and per-client best share tracking (current + all-time)
|
|
- Network difficulty, pool efficiency, expected time to block
|
|
- Live dashboard updates via WebSocket (no 60-second file polls)
|
|
|
|

|
| Component | Language | Purpose |
|
|
| -------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `ckpool/` | C | Stratum server, share validation, block submission |
|
|
| `api/` | Go | Socket client, REST/WebSocket API, persistence |
|
|
| `ui/` | Svelte | Real-time dashboard |
|
|
|
|
## Phases
|
|
|
|
- [x] **Phase 1** — Fork & fix CKPool, build infrastructure
|
|
- [ ] **Phase 2** — Go API middleware (socket client, REST, WebSocket, SQLite)
|
|
- [ ] **Phase 3** — Svelte UI dashboard
|
|
- [ ] **Phase 4** — Monorepo Docker build, full stack integration
|
|
- [ ] **Phase 5** — Testing (regtest, testnet4), polish
