Neffets has made this much better, so this repo is practically deprecated. https://github.com/neffets/docker-xmr-stak-cpu ...(although it seems I still update occasionally)

What is XMR-Stak?

XMR-Stak is a universal Stratum pool miner. This is a build for CPU-mining only.

This docker image autoconfigures threads by simply getting the core count. All xmr-stak's config.txt variables can be configured with docker run environment variables.

How to use this image

console
docker run -itd --restart unless-stopped -e WALLET_ADDRESS='' -e POOL_PASSWORD='' -e POOL_ADDRESS='' --name xmr-stak-cpu neffets/xmr-stak-cpu

You can also use (for example)

console
-e THREAD_CONFIG='{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "asm" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" : 0 },{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "asm" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" : 1 },{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "asm" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" : 3 },{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "asm" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" : 4 },'

by default the image starts up a number of threads equivalent to core count, which works best when you have for example 2 physical processors, and the (L3 cache/2) is higher than core count on one processor.

THREAD_CONFIG="" env variable can be used to manually define cpu config.

You can set all config.txt https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/blob/master/config.txt variables as docker run environment variables. Just use all caps in env var names.

Large pages need a properly set up OS. Run this on host side.

console
sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=128 && ulimit -l 262144 

Fetch logs of a container:

console
$ docker logs --tail 1000 -f xmr-stak-cpu

This is a fork from Minecoins/docker-xmr-stak-cpu docker image, thanks to Minecoins, and with added env variable support by TimonMat!
