arPanel is a mobile friendly web dashboard for Arweave pool mining using Virdpool miner.
Use this dashboard to control and monitor your miner's status and performance.

arPanel is not a standalone miner, it is simply a dashboard for Virdpool miner which is available here: Virdpool Miner
Follow the instructions to install the miner first. Then, follow the instructions below to setup arPanel.
arPanel has been tested and runs on Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04.

IMPORTANT: Open a terminal, elevate priveleges and clone the arPanel repository inside the Virdpool miner directory.

sudo su
# cd miner

1. Ensure you are in the directory where Virdpool miner is installed and do:

git clone https://github.com/wxt30/arpanel.git
cd arpanel

2. Edit mine.sh using your favorite editor to set your WALLET where pool rewards will be sent. If you don't have one, get your own Arweave Web Extension Wallet.

3. Optionally you can set your arweave data directory using the data_dir option. You need this if you have previously synced. And finally, do some performance tuning for better mining hashrate speeds. See the notes in mine.sh for tuning details.

NOTE: You must stop Virdpool miner before using arPanel.

Start arPanel with ./arpanel-start.sh found in the arpanel directory.

Open a web browser to see your dashboard: http://your-rigs-ip:3030
You can also open/forward port 3030 and use your public ip: http://your-public-ip:3030
If needed, the port number can be changed in ./arpanel-start.sh

Stop arPanel with ./arpanel-stop.sh found in the arpanel directory.

From the 'Miner Control' menu you have the option to 'Start Mining', 'Sync Only' or 'Stop' the Virdpool miner. If you are getting started now, it is advised to initially 'Sync Only' until you have a significant Arweave data set. Then you can switch to mining.

You should keep an eye on the logs for miner errors. Log files are saved in the arpanel/logs directory.

Arweave Node Log: arpanel/logs/arweave.log
Miner Proxy Log: arpanel/logs/proxy.log
arPanel Log: arpanel/logs/arpanel.log

NOTE: Backup mine.sh first so you don't lose your miner settings.

Stop your Virdpool miner using arPanel. From the side menu click 'Miner Control' > 'Stop'.
Then using a terminal, move to the arPanel installation directory and do:

./arpanel-stop.sh
git pull

Edit mine.sh to set your mining WALLET and startup options.
Edit arpanel-start.sh to set your custom port, if needed.

Start arPanel.

./arpanel-start.sh

Start your Virdpool miner using arPanel. Open arPanel in a browser and from the side menu click 'Miner Control' and select either 'Sync Only' or 'Start Mining'.
