Docker container support #44

Hello, please add official docker container images for DrPlotter. This is important as it allows multiple dockers to share the same GPUs, which is very convinient. Gigahorse and noSSD already have their images and using them is very easy, so DrPlotter should not be missing this! Thanks in advance!

I’d second this

i made some docker images, cant test them right now, but give em a try: https://github.com/foxypool/drplotter/pkgs/container/drplotter example compose: https://github.com/foxypool/drplotter/blob/main/docker-compose.yaml

Thanks @felixbrucker , I will try them soon. I'm just not sure how to proceed with the initial token generation and also the ca folder? What would be the order of running the dockers if starting from scratch? Thanks again for you time!

felixbrucker commented 3 months ago

Off the top of my head you'll need to:

generate a token: docker compose run -it --rm solver --generate-token and update the compose file with the generated token
uncomment the CHIA_CA env var for the harvester and add the path to it into the volume section
update the farmer ip/port env of the harvester to yours
run the harvester once to init the ca: docker compose run -it --rm harvester and once that's done press ctrl+c to shut it down again and remove the env and volume mount for the ca dir from the compose file
remove the services you don't need and start everything with docker compose up -d

ofc also the obvious stuff like adjusting the paths to your plot dirs etc

I got the plotter running, but not sure how to deal with the cli output. It's originally supposed to work in normal terminal, but here it's going to the live log and it looks like this:

Progress, time and ETA not updating live...

PS, they are updating, but only after a plot is done. Not sure if it's normal...

felixbrucker commented 3 months ago

yeah i'm not sure about that, drplotter could detect that it doesn't have a tty, so it does its stdout differently, or its something else

@drnick23 might have more insights on that
