Miner Setup

Minimum System Requirements

Below is the minimum system requirements for running a miner node on the RedTeam Subnet:

• 8-GB RAM
• 2-Cores CPU
• Tested on Ubuntu 22.04

But you may need more resources for engineering challenges.

Setup Instructions

To set up a miner node on the RedTeam Subnet, follow these steps:

1. Prerequisites

   • Install Python (>= v3.10) and pip (>= 23):
     • [RECOMMENDED] Miniconda (v3)
     • [arm64/aarch64] Miniforge (v3)
     • [Python virutal environment] venv

2. Install the latest version of the RedTeam Subnet repository.

   git clone https://github.com/RedTeamSubnet/RedTeam && cd RedTeam
   pip install -e .
   

3. Explore challenges at redteam_core/challenge_pool/, build your solution, dockerize it, and push it to Docker Hub. You can view the detailed guide here. We have some limitations on your solution:

   • The solution must be a Python script.
   • The solution won't be able to access the internet.
   • Resource limit: see Active Challenge Config

4. Specify docker submissions for challenges at neurons/miner/active_commit.yaml:

   - challenge_name_1---docker_hub_id_1@<sha256:digest>
   - challenge_name_2---docker_hub_id_2<sha256:digest>
   

5. Install PM2 Process Manager

   • NVM (Node Version Manager): https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm
   • Node.js and npm: https://nodejs.org/en/download
   • PM2 (Process Manager): https://pm2.io/docs/runtime/guide/installation

   # Install NVM (Node Version Manager):
   curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.2/install.sh | bash
   
   # Activate NVM:
   source ~/.bashrc
   
   # Check NVM version:
   nvm --version
   
   # Install Node.js and npm:
   nvm install --latest-npm --alias=default [NODE_VERSION]
   # For example:
   nvm install --latest-npm --alias=default 22.14.0
   
   # Set the default Node.js:
   nvm use default
   
   # Check Node.js and npm versions:
   node --version
   npm --version
   
   # Install PM2 globally with logrotate:
   npm install -g pm2
   pm2 install pm2-logrotate
   
   # Check PM2 version:
   pm2 --version
   

6. Start the miner node:

   pm2 start python --name "miner_snxxx" \
       -- -m neurons.miner.miner \
       --netuid xxx \
       --wallet.name "wallet_name" \
       --wallet.hotkey "wallet_hotkey" \
       --axon.port "axon_port" \
       --subtensor.network <network> # default is finney
   

Optional flags:

• --logging.trace - Enable trace logging
• --logging.debug - Enable debug logging
