I have a Proxmox server on my LAN on my home network.

I have one LXC container running Debian 12 and the Monero CLI tools provided at the following URL: (https://downloads.getmonero.org/cli/linux64). All LXC containers referenced herein will be running Debian 12.

On that first container, I run ‘monerod’ in a screen session, so I can detach and leave it running 24/7. If there is a better way to do this, like having it autostart upon reboot, I would like to learn how to do that, but I will still want to see the live log somehow, maybe using tails on a logfile or something, but I don’t know where that logfile is located or how best to view the live status of the daemon.

Also on that first container, I’d like to run the cli wallet and mine Monero on that machine, which I’m not familiar with how to do that using the CLI wallet.

Next, I wanted to create another LXC container that is only running the CLI wallet, but connects to the node running on the first machine. If this is possible and works, I’d do a few more until I max out on CPU and RAM utilization of my Proxmox host.

Lastly, I’d also like to have the blockchain only stored on that one LXC host, so my existing blockchains on my other PC’s where I’m running the GUI can be eliminated, if that makes any sense, and have those GUI wallets point to my node running on the first LXC container running the ‘monerod’ daemon 24/7.

In summary, what I need help with is the following:

  1. How to have ‘monerod’ autostart on the first LXC container (ip addr: 192.168.10.210)
  2. How to view live view of the monerod daemon doing it’s thing
  3. How to mine Monero from the wallet cli on first LXC container
  4. How to mine Monero from the wallet cli on second LXC container (ip addr: 192.168.10.211) that uses a remote node, specified as the first container referenced in step 1 above.
  5. How to configure GUI to mine using the LXC container running the node daemon as a remote node

I’d appreciate any links with instructions that might help me do all or part of what I’m trying to accomplish using the home server. If suggestions prove out on my network, I’m happy to fully document the entire setup, including the steps to configure Proxmox for the community to do the same thing.

    You can start a screen session in detached mode, use screen --help to see what options are available. Then you can just add it to your start-up script.

    For mining use p2pool, cli wallet does not mine. https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool
