Helium miner update script

This script will automatically detect if that latest docker image is running and if this is not the case it will update to the latest docker image.

Dependencies

Following dependencies shall be met:

• Curl
• jq

Make sure the user that is running the script is allowed to run docker. Either add the user to the docker group or run the scipt as root. See: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/

Configuration

After cloning this repository make the script executable:

$ chmod +x miner_latest.sh
$ sudo touch /var/log/miner_latest.log

Change architecture

Currently it is setup to use arm64 version, but it can be easily modified to use the amd64 docker image build by modifying the ARCH variable to equal amd instead of arm.

Change region

By default the script is configured for US915 frequencies. To use the miner in other regios like EU868 the script shall be changed by adding the --env REGION_OVERRIDE=EU868 to the line with docker run:

docker run -d --env REGION_OVERRIDE=EU868 --restart always --publish 1680:1680/udp --publish 44158:44158/tcp --name miner --mount type=bind,source=/home/pi/miner_data,target=/var/data quay.io/team-helium/mi$

Script useage

$ ./miner_latest.sh

This can be called from a cron or ran in a shell.

Using cron

Add the following lines to your crontab using cron -e to run the escript dayly at 1 o clock at night:

# Check for updates on miner image every night at 1 o clock
# Use whatever path you have your repo setup with.
# If you need to test your cron you can use the following site and add "&& curl -s 'https://webhook.site/#!/~'" to the end of your cron and it will make a web request to your specific url when it completes.
