Monero Node Setup
In this tutorial we're going to take a look at how to setup a monero node on a Ubuntu VM:
In this tutorial we're going to take a look at how to setup a monero node on a Ubuntu VM:
first install monero from the repositories:
[ Datura Network ] [ /dev/pts/0 ] [/srv/datura.network]
→ apt install monero -y
create the systemd service
[ Datura Network ] [ /dev/pts/0 ] [/srv/datura.network]
→ vim /etc/systemd/system/moneronode.service
[ Datura Network ] [ /dev/pts/0 ] [/srv/datura.network]
→ cat /etc/systemd/system/moneronode.service

Then enable it:
[ Datura Network ] [ /dev/pts/0 ] [/srv/datura.network]
→ systemctl daemon-reload
[ Datura Network ] [ /dev/pts/0 ] [/srv/datura.network]
→ systemctl enable --now moneronode
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/moneronode.service → /etc/systemd/system/moneronode.service.
Then wait for it to sync:
[ Datura Network ] [ /dev/pts/0 ] [/srv/datura.network]
→ systemctl status moneronode

On a SSD it may take 1 day, and weigh approximately 60 gigs as of writing this tutorial. The synchronisation is a very disk-intensive process, and so it is required to do it on a nvme disk or ssd at least. If you try to do that on a HDD it will take much, much longer. If you don't have a choice, sync it on a nvme somewhere and then rsync it to a server that has only HDDs.
First let's setup the required dependencies:

--rpc-port monerod RPC API port number, default is 18081
--zmq-port monerod ZMQ pub port number, default is 18083 (same port as in monerod's "--zmq-pub" command line parameter)
--stratum Comma-separated list of IP:port for stratum server to listen on
--p2p Comma-separated list of IP:port for p2p server to listen on
--addpeers Comma-separated list of IP:port of other p2pool nodes to connect to
--light-mode Don't allocate RandomX dataset, saves 2GB of RAM
--loglevel Verbosity of the log, integer number between 0 and 6
--config Name of the p2pool config file
--data-api Path to the p2pool JSON data (use it in tandem with an external web-server)
--stratum-api Enable /local/ path in api path for Stratum Server statistics
--no-cache Disable p2pool.cache
--no-color Disable colors in console output
--no-randomx Disable internal RandomX hasher: p2pool will use RPC calls to monerod to check PoW hashes

And that's it! We managed to start mining on the p2pool using xmrig, by default it is using half of the CPU. To summarize, here's the commands you want to run:
monerod --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 --disable-dns-checkpoints --enable-dns-blocklist
p2pool --host 127.0.0.1 --wallet 447KnLGYbQrHD4npGPmqdGQ3ARqz9kgLLQfaYY9KDC7eUcyKfnwZtj1JLNSqQHKEudHNyuDeKLBbhWtPdS7SoVM54nWHw1b
sudo ./xmrig -o 127.0.0.1:3333
watch -n 0.1 sensors
htop
EDIT: run xmrig with SUDO privileges, to enable msr support see here. It nearly doubles the hashrate!!!
EDIT: if you want to mine from another location (for example another drive with more space)
monerod --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 --disable-dns-checkpoints --enable-dns-blocklist --data-dir /mnt/VAULT/XMR
p2pool --host 127.0.0.1 --wallet 447KnLGYbQrHD4npGPmqdGQ3ARqz9kgLLQfaYY9KDC7eUcyKfnwZtj1JLNSqQHKEudHNyuDeKLBbhWtPdS7SoVM54nWHw1b
sudo ./xmrig -o 127.0.0.1:3333
watch -n 0.1 sensors
htop
If you want to make it a tmux session automatically, you can put it in your bashrc/ zshrc like so ((careful i added my custom location /mnt/VAULT/XMR/ in here):
xmr(){
num=$(tmux list-sessions | grep XMR | wc -l)
# set up tmux
#tmux start-server
set -g mouse on
# create a new tmux session, starting vim from a saved session in the new window
#tmux kill-session -t $session 2>/dev/null
#tmux new -d -s $session -n Blog -y 100 -x 200
if [ "$num" -eq "0" ]; then
