[GUIDE] Automated Feathercoin, p2pool + blockchain installation (Debian)

MrSheep

This guide is now out of date please refer to :

https://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8384/what-version-of-p2pool-software-to-use-with-feathercoin-neoscrypt/2

Greetings everyone,

to increase the number of Feathercoin p2pool nodes i will publish my script for setting up the feathercoin daemon and the p2pool software on Debian based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu). The script will install the required packages, download and install feathercoin and p2pool daemons and also a recent backup of the blockchain.

This will get your p2pool node up and running in a matter of minutes. I have tested the script on Debian 7.2, Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 13.10. Please let me know if you see any issues or would like other distributions supported. May have a look at CentOS, if demand is there. Here you go:

Script to install feathercoin daemon and a p2pool daemon on a debian
based linux system. The script will

install the required software packages
retrieve the feathercoin and p2pool daemon via git
compile the feathercoin daemon
download a blockchain backup that is only some days old and
install it for the feathercoin daemon
configure daemontools to ensure that feathercoin and p2pool daemons
are running continuously
start feathercoin and p2pool daemon

Tested / Supported Debian based distributions:

Debian 7.2
Ubuntu 12.04
Ubuntu 13.10

Log files:

Feathercoin daemon:
/etc/service/service-ftcpool/log/main/current

p2pool daemon:
/etc/service/service-ftcpool-p2p/log/main/current

[b]USAGE / INSTALL (as root):[/b]

[code]
wget http://pool.maeh.org/ftc/p2pool/p2pool_ftc_debian_install.sh
sh p2pool_ftc_debian_install.sh
[/code]

Regards,

Works Perfectly, no problems at all on ubuntu 12.04 server.

MrSheep

Scripts are now updated for Feathercoin daemon v0.8.5 and also include a recent blockchain for that version. Enjoy!

**** I Now think this is to do with my service provider as when installed in virtualbox and not on my VPS it works perfectly. ****

The script installed fine on new install but I am getting a weird issue.

Any Ideas? Connection refused by other side

MrSheep

From p2pool? Constantly or only once? If it’s only once that should not be an issue. Could you post more lines of the log file?
