TwitchDropsMiner => UNRAID server ?

[Lifeng77X]

Hello, has anyone successfully used "TwitchDropsMiner" on a server type "UNRAID"? If so, which tutorial did you follow?
I would be very interested.
Thank you.

Because the dev doesn't want you to autofarm on servers you might need to set up a linux/windows VM and run the program there

[DevilXD]

I actually don't have that much of an issue with using a server in particular, other than maybe the user not tending to it often enough, and hoping some kind of autorestart will do. What usually ends up happening, is Twitch changes something, and then keeps getting hammered with errors, over and over, That's the reason why the miner does not include any kind of automatic restart - when it breaks, it's not supposed to be used anymore, until it's fixed back up.

The biggest issue with server usage is people setting up farms with thousands of accounts, basically the above, but thousands times worse. Twitch has a way of defending itself from this, but I don't want to contribute to the problem by providing the tools to do it. This is supposed to be a single-instance user-friendly desktop application.

I personally don't have any experience with RAID servers, so can't really help here. If anyone else has any knowledge about the topic, they're free to respond here.

Hello, I come from the Windows world, so I'm not very skilled when it comes to Linux. My Unraid server (which is just for hosting a Plex server) is why I wanted to add the Twitch drop recovery function. Unraid already has integrated applications via a community catalog, but not Twitch drops. I know I can install it through what they call a Docker, but with very little knowledge of Linux, I get lost very easily. The only solution, for now, while I improve my skills and my research on the subject increases, is to use a Windows VM and install it there. I hope this doesn't take too long because VMs tend to put a heavy load on the CPU and result in significant energy consumption. But thank you for bringing up the topic again.

If you are going to use a windows VM I recommend using a modified ISO that gets rid of all the bloat so the system will run better

Bonjour, je viens du monde Windows, donc je ne suis pas très habile quand il s'agit de Linux. Mon serveur Unraid (qui est juste pour héberger un serveur Plex) est la raison pour laquelle je voulais ajouter la fonction de récupération de la goutte Twitch. Unraid a déjà intégré des applications via un catalogue communautaire, mais pas Twitch drops. Je sais que je peux l'installer à travers ce qu'ils appellent un Docker, mais avec très peu de connaissance de Linux, je me perds très facilement. La seule solution, pour l'instant, alors que j'améliore mes compétences et mes recherches sur le sujet augmentent, est d'utiliser une VM Windows et de l'y installer. J'espère que cela ne prendra pas trop de temps parce que les machines de VM ont tendance à mettre une lourde charge sur le CPU et à entraîner une consommation d'énergie significative. Mais merci d'avoir abordé à nouveau le sujet.

Si vous devez utiliser une fenêtre VM je recommande d'utiliser une ISO modifiée qui se débarrasse de tout le gonflement, donc le système fonctionnera mieux

Hello, I was thinking of a modified version of Windows called "Arium 11.3".

As someone who also has an Unraid server and has been using it for years- the "Community Applications" that are available are just glorified Dockerfile's that people have modified to be easily used with Unraid.

Now, due to the nature of the Miner, I imagine I could containerize it... But like DevilXD said "when it breaks, it's not supposed to be used anymore". Of course I could just have the container not restart itself upon erroring. I'll think about it.

[JourneyOver]

@bitterbutt if you do end up doing all this, try and see if you could get it working on an alpine base to try and minimize the size of the container some. I've got a dockerfile/container going right now myself that I've been trying to convert to be alpine based but there are some dependencies I'm lost on being able to switch from debian to alpine to get things working.

Was able to get it running on a Proxmox LXC running docker. Here's the two files used. Added a docker-compose if you need it.

Is "Proxmox LXC" a type of an UNRAID server?

[starkayc]

Is "Proxmox LXC" a type of an UNRAID server?

Hmm, Proxmox is pretty much a hypervision/OS and LXC is like a VM but lightweight. I just run docker on it and I know UNRAID runs docker. So, the Dockerfile I provided should work.

[Lifeng77X]

"Proxmox LXC" est-il un type de serveur UNRAID?

Hmm, Proxmox est à peu près une hypervision/OS et LXC est comme une VM mais légère. Je lance juste le docker dessus et je sais qu'UNRAID lance le docker. Donc, le Dockerfile que j'ai fourni devrait fonctionner.

On my "UNRAID" server in "APPS"

If I search for "twitch drops miner," it doesn't find any application. However, if I click on "click more results on Docker Hub,"

He finds me other applications, some of which have the same name but come from different people.
I find yours as well!

I arrive on the configuration page. (Attention, for the solution to the problem, please take into account the link from here.)
"#618 (comment)"

Since I don't understand anything and I come from the Windows environment, I won't touch anything and I'll just confirm!

Everything is settling in....

Except that it gives me a command error, is it due to the fact that I didn't configure the "config" correctly because of a lack of knowledge?

Since I encountered an error during installation, when I launch "docker," it shows me this error.

I tried to detail the installation process as much as possible in case my error is so obvious that it jumps out at you. As I mentioned, I'm not comfortable with the world of Linux and the terms used there. However, I'm not giving up, and I'm testing different things to learn how to use it...

I don't use Unraid but it seems like it created a bunch of unneeded environments and it got the volumes/ports wrong. If you're able to manually input them then all you need is the volume to be path/to/your/data:/TwitchDropsMiner/config and the ports to 5800:5800 anything else it added is not needed.

I have tried to get this working and ended up using this repo (https://hub.docker.com/r/starkayc/twitch-drops-miner/), left all at default and had no issues, went to localhost:5800 and all is ok

"Proxmox LXC" est-il un type de serveur UNRAID?

Hmm, Proxmox est peu à proximité une hypervision/OS et LXC est comme une VM mais légère. Je lance juste le docker dessus et je sais qu'UNRAID lance le docker. Donc, le Dockerfile que j'ai devrait fournir du système exécuté.

Sur mon serveur "UNRAID" dans "APPS"

Si je cherche "twitch gouttes à la tireur", il ne trouve aucune application. Cependant, si je clique sur "cliquer sur plus de résultats sur Docker Hub,"

Il me trouve d'autres applications, dont certaines ont le même nom mais viennent de personnes différentes. Je trouve la tienne aussi bien.

J'arrive sur la page de configuration.

Puisque je ne comprends rien et que je viens de l'environnement Windows, je ne toucherai rien et je le confirmerai.

Tout s'installe dans...

Sauf qu'il me donne une erreur de commande, est-ce dû au fait que je n'ai pas correctement configuré le "config" à cause d'un manque de connaissances ?

Comme j'ai rencontré une erreur lors de l'installation, quand je lance "docker", il me montre cette erreur.

J'ai essayé de détailler le processus d'installation autant que possible au cas où mon erreur serait si évidente qu'elle vous surfertraite. Comme je l'ai dit, je ne suis pas à l'aise avec le monde de Linux et les termes utilisés là-bas. Cependant, je n'abandonne pas, et je teste différentes choses pour apprendre à l'utiliser...

J'ai essayé de faire fonctionner ce et j'ai fini par utiliser ce repo (https://hub.docker.com/r/starkayc/twitch-drops-miner/), tout reste par défaut et n'a eu aucun problème, allé à localhost:5800 et tout est ok

Hello Peraperkan, I still have the same error.

At what point did you modify something regarding my installation process mentioned earlier?

@Lifeng77X @peraperkan

Incredibly easy to get this container working. I have it up and running mining right now

@Lifeng77X
You are using the default bridge network for your container, so the ports you map can't be already in use by a separate container on this bridge or the host itself. Regarding the error message, 0.0.0.0:5900: bind: address already in use it looks like this is the case.
Are you running VMs on your unRAID-Server? As soon as you start a VM with a virtual GPU, the Port 5900/TCP is used for the VNC connection to the VM.

You can try to shut down your VM(s) and see if the container starts. Otherwise, you can try to change the port mapping in the container settings so that Port 5900 of the container maps to a different Host Port (e.g., 5901). As @starkayc already said, maybe you can even remove the port mapping to 5900 completely.

@bolagnaise , @justvetrex Thank you very much for your help; I found my mistake thanks to your assistance! I’m linking the image where the problem was in case others also want to install it on UNRAID.
