FlxTime™ Docker Installation Guide

This guide explains how to install the FlxTime™ miner on any Linux machines that supports Docker Containers, this guide should work for MacOS as well, but Windows installation is not supported (yet, you can try it, but there are no guarantees).

Navigate your Linux machine and open a terminal.
Depending if you have admin rights or not, the command lines might require sudo (superuser do, executing commands as a superuser, or administrator) in front of them, or at the beginning of the command lines, before typing them (example: sudo apt update, more about sudo here). The command lines posted will not contain sudo to avoid double posts.

Update and upgrade your system:

apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

press ENTER, let it finish, interact if necessary. Reboot the machine.
Upgrading your system should automatically install Docker, manual installation guides for Linux distributions can be found here and general installation guides (Windows, MacOS & Linux) here.

Download, install and run the FlxTime™ Docker container:

docker run -d --name flxtime --restart unless-stopped --network host --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -e MINER_WALLET_ADDRESS=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX flxtime/flxtime:latest

Replace XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with your Solana wallet address.

To monitor the logs of the container and verify it, type:

docker logs -f flxtime

press ENTER, to close the logs press CTRL+C.

Tracking Miner Status
You can track the status of your miner on the FlxTime™ console:
Visit: Flxtime™ Console
Connect your Solana wallet, and you need to do this to check if your miner is submitting proofs.
Verify that the status shows “Status: ON” to confirm your miner is operational

FlxTime™ Crankk Installation Guide

This guide explains how to install the FlxTime™ miner on Crankk Gateways (Raspberry Pi-based and RockPi-based devices) using Docker. Please follow it “as is”.
FlxTime™ is a proud partner of the Crankk Full IOT project, part of the Multimining Tab, one click installation solution if you own a Crankk License. The following guides are for gateways that use the available free Crankk software, but are not licensed.

Types of Gateways

  1. Raspberry Pi-Based Gateways
    Examples: Sensecap M1, RAK v2, Controllino, MNTD, Pisces P100 etc.
  • These devices run CrankkIMG.
  1. RockPi-Based Gateways
    Examples: Bobcat 1GB/2GB, Linxdot RK3566, Heltec HT-M2808, Browan MerryIoT, etc.
  • These devices run CrankkOS.

Installation Commands

1. For Raspberry Pi-Based Gateways

Run the following command to start the FlxTime™ miner:

sudo docker run -d --name flxtime --restart unless-stopped --network host --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -e MINER_WALLET_ADDRESS=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX flxtime/flxtime:latest


Replace XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with your Solana wallet address.

2. For RockPi-Based Gateways

Run the following command to start the FlxTime™ miner:

docker run -d --name flxtime --restart always --network host --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -e MINER_WALLET_ADDRESS=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX flxtime/flxtime:latest


Replace XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with your Solana wallet address.

Monitoring Logs

To monitor the container and check the logs, use the following command based on the gateway type:

  • For CrankkIMG Gateways (Raspberry Pi-based): Use sudo to view the logs:
  sudo docker logs -f flxtime
  • For CrankkOS Gateways (RockPi-based): No sudo is required:
  docker logs -f flxtime

This will display real-time logs from the FlxTime™ container, allowing you to monitor its activity.

Tracking Miner Status

You can track the status of your miner on the FlxTime™ console:

  • Visit: Flxtime Console
  • Connect your Solana wallet, and you need to do this to check if your miner is submitting proofs.
  • Verify that the status shows “Status: ON” to confirm your miner is operational.

🎉 Congratulations! Your FlxTime™ miner is now running on Docker. Start earning rewards and monitor your miner’s performance on the console!
