sethsimmons: FoxMulder is asking about your guide/docker p2pool setup in #p2pool-log, having issues with p2pool not connecting to RPC

sethsimmons: your docker-compose setup does not expose port 18081 which is what p2pool uses to request it, so adding to monerod this --rpc-bind-ip=0.0.0.0 --rpc-bind-port 18081 --confirm-external-bind --restricted-rpc

made it work, plus added link to monerod in p2pool

additionally the user had to pull new image after they managed to get it connected, due to new one being pushed

they were using the full docker-compose.yml btw

Adding `--rpc-port "18089"` instead, I'm not sure how I missed that :/

To p2pool

no link needed I guess, due to exposing ports?

also btw, do you know about the multiline syntax?

Don't need to either way as they're using the same network

DataHoarder: Not very familiar, no!

well, sometimes they don't get ports properly exposed

see here sethsimmons github.com/WeebDataHoarder/p2pool-c…b/master/docker-compose.yml#L36-L40

sethsimmons: Because the Dockerfile natively exposes those ports it works without

>-

yes, because it exposes them, indeed

Yeah I'm using that here but it's new to me:

ah yes, was looking at monerod

define in-peers too to some limit, or so sech1 recommends

I should migrate the monerod ones over though

so you don't end up with too many connections if they expose their port

DataHoarder: Wonder why, default is no-cap IIRC

DataHoarder: Makes sense, I'll add that now

but you can end with too many and hit fdlimit

Migrating to:... (full message at libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/do…56916bc23be21a06ce59b2a508fc466d6ef)

also I see monero-project/monero #7963, nice

DataHoarder: Yeah, would be very nice to have :)

you can already get around it without hardcoding though, but it is suboptimal

Why would someone want to connect/listen to a p2p stratumserver?

I wonder if anyone has noticed alien connections

Port scans maybe

What protections are in place for this kind of thing? Are there ban criteria for clients who connect but don't accept jobs?

if they send invalid data they're banned

So if random clients connected, there's nothing to really worry about

if you're lucky, they might even mine a little for you
