Hardware configuration reference for lotus

Hardware configuration reference

The reason you see many kinds of configurations

• You don't need a standard set of configurations to run a program, you just need to meet the requirements

• Different scenarios, some are for data centre clusters and some are for home mining

• Different optimisations or clusters run differently

Basic principles of hardware configuration

The main reason for this is that storage provider hardware configurations are relatively flexible, but the basic principles of hardware configuration and minimum resource requirements are given here. The following are hardware configuration references to reduce your confusion over device selection

• Only by understanding how filecoin works can you determine if some hardware configurations are reasonable

• The first thing you need to do is to decide whether you want to run a home mining or data centre scenario, which may be a different way of thinking, as some hardware may not be suitable for home or data centre.

• Lotus, Lotus-Miner, Lotus-worker may be different configurations, even Lotus-worker depending on the type of task, before you start, you want to determine which way to run the Lotus cluster

• For home mining people, the efficiency of the machine may not be as important, and perhaps active participation in the ecology can bring more benefits

• It is not realistic to calculate the ROI, too many factors are uncertain, what is certain is that as long as filecoin stores data for the whole of humanity, the value that filecoin brings will inevitably be passed on to the SP.

Specific Configuration

Lotus Daemon minimum configuration Machines below this configuration may not be able to run Lotus Daemon on the main network

protocol-labs-example-architecture Highly recommended

Community Reference Configuration Many community members have shared examples of their configurations, most of which are home minning scenarios. You need to choose your own hardware configuration to suit you.

Recommended configuration by the Chinese community. This configuration runs on modified code, so you can refer to it, but you can't use the hardware exactly the way they do, the main scenario for this configuration is data center

Filecoin Solo Mining Rig This document focuses on the home mining scenario, and also describes how filecoin works.
