1 | # AWS MONERO MINING
2 |
3 | `Terraform` script to start one or more *EC2* monero-mining (`XMRIG`) instances. ⛏️ 🪙 ☁️

11 |
12 | ## Disclaimer
13 | This repo is intended only as a terraform learning exercise applied to the aws cloud platform.
14 |
15 |
16 | - The author does not want to incentivize or promote monero mining.
17 | - The author does not promise any financial gain from mining monero on the contrary, at present time he does not recommend using it for economic purposes as the price charged by the provider for the use of the resources could be higher than the mining gain.
18 |
19 |
20 | **The author also assumes no responsibility for any weaponization of this repository in order to exploit other people's aws accounts for monero mining.**
21 |
22 | ## Prerequisites
23 | - monero wallet
24 | - aws account
25 | - Terraform installed on the dev machine
26 |
27 |
28 | Note: This script has been tested on `Ubuntu 22.04 LTS`
29 |
30 | ## Instructions
31 | clone this repo:
32 | ```console
33 | git clone https://github.com/R3DRUN3/aws-monero-mining.git \
34 | && cd aws-monero-mining
35 | ```
36 |
37 |
38 | Open the `./xmrig/run-xmrig.sh` file and modify it by inserting your monero wallet and the desired mining pool,
39 |
40 | alternatively you can create a new json configuration here.
41 |
42 |
43 | You can also modify the `vars.tf` file to change some variables according to your needs,
44 |
45 | for example yuo can change the ec2 instance type (the default is a very *resources-constrained* machine), the number of instances etc.
46 |
47 |
48 | Launch the Terraform provisioning:
49 | ```console
50 | terraform init && terraform apply -auto-approve
51 | ```
52 |
53 | The whole procedure takes a few minutes
54 |
55 | In the end you can see the generated ec2 instances from your aws console:
56 |
57 |
58 |
59 | 
60 |
61 |
62 |
63 |
64 | or via `aws-cli` with the following command:
65 | ```console
66 | aws ec2 describe-instances
67 | ```
68 |
69 | If you open one of the instances and inspect resources'usage with the `htop` command,
70 | you can see that `xmrig` is running and mining new monero!
71 |
72 |
73 |
74 | 
75 |
76 |
77 |
78 |
79 | Based upon the mining pool that you put in your configuration, you should be able to
80 | see your current hashrate from the pool website:
