AntGuardian

AntMiner monitor and auto-restart tool

Compatible with all AntMiners from Bitmain. Works on Linux, Windows and Mac OS

Scans the local network for miners. Once connected, restarts any miner when accepted shares do not increase in SECONDS_4_CHECKS seconds, given that there is an active internet connection (checks with google.com).

This software and all its dependencies are free and open source. Free as in free speach not as in free beer, meaning it respects your freedom! Please star on GitHub and share with your miner friends!

Prerequisites

• NMap

Download and install NMap. Link: https://nmap.org/download.html

• Python

Most Mac and Linux distributions come with Python pre-installed. For windows and other systems, you may need to download and install Python first. Link: https://www.python.org/downloads/

• PIP - Python Package Installer https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/

Installation

Download the AntGuardian repository and unzip it. Link: https://github.com/rsolano60/AntGuardian

• Install Python requirements

Using the command prompt, navigate to directory Downloads/AntGuardian and run the command:

INSTALL COMMAND:

pip install -r requirements.txt

If you have problems running PIP directly, try with this command:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt 

Setup

If you have changed the password of your miners from the default "root", you must change the PASS varieble in the script file "AntGuardian.py", for the actual password. Otherwise, you are ready to run the script.

#SETUP:
#---------SETUP-----------------SETUP-----------------SETUP-----------------SETUP-----------------SETUP-------
USER = 'root'
PASS = 'root' # Replace with your miner's password
SECONDS_4_CHECKS = 95 # you need at least 6 seconds per miner, increase this number if monitoring 16 miners or more
SECONDS_TO_INTERNET = 60
REBOOT_TIME = 300
#--------END-SETUP-------------END-SETUP-------------END-SETUP-------------END-SETUP-------------END-SETUP----

Running

Using the command prompt, while in the directory Downloads/AntGuardian, run the program by entering the command:

RUN COMMAND:

python AntGuardian.py

Options

You may also change the time intervals (seconds):

• SECONDS_4_CHECKS: Time to wait between each check for accepted shares.
  
• REBOOT_TIME: Lead time given to miners to start mining once they are rebooted by AntGuardian.
  
• SECONDS_TO_INTERNET: Lead time given to miners to start mining again when internet connection is lost and recovered.
  
• To close the terminal without having to quit AntGuardian, you can use the program "screen", running the program like this (Mac + linux):

screen python AntGuardian.py

Then press Ctrl+A, Ctrl+D to detach screen and you can close the terminal. AntGuardian will keep running on the background.

To return to Antguardian:

screen -r

Troubleshooting:

-If you have any problems installing requirements, try a different version of Python. You might have multiple versions installed in your computer. If trouble persists. Uninstall all versions of Python and start from scratch
