  image: redis:7-alpine

pool:
  image: lthn/pool:testnet
  ports:
    - "5555:5555"   # Stratum
    - "7777:7777"   # Stratum SSL
    - "2117:2117"   # API
    - "8888:8888"   # Web
  volumes:
    - ./pool-config.json:/pool/config.json:ro
  depends_on:
    - daemon
    - wallet
    - pool-redis

Dependencies

Daemon — blockchain node for block templates and submission
Wallet — for miner payouts
Redis — job cache, share tracking, stats

Configuration

The pool reads config.json at startup. Mount a custom config via Docker volume.

Key settings to change for Docker networking:

{
    "redis": {
        "host": "pool-redis",
        "port": 6379
    },
    "daemon": {
        "host": "daemon",
        "port": 36941
    },
    "wallet": {
        "host": "wallet",
        "port": 36944
    }
}

See Configuration for the full reference.

Building from Source

The pool has a native C++ dependency (zano-node-util) for ProgPoWZ hashing. The Dockerfile handles compilation using Ubuntu 24.04 with Boost 1.83.

docker compose -f docker-compose.ecosystem.yml build pool

Build context must include both zano-pool/ and blockchain/src/ for the C++ headers.
