Monitor/Reset GPU Mining Rig via a Raspberry Pi Zero (or other iterations of RPi)
Create a "secrets.py" under pimon an include app's secret key, allowed_hosts, and email settings...
# SECURITY WARNING: keep the secret key used in production secret!
SECRET_KEY = '<SECRET_KEY_GENERATED_BY_DJANGO>'
# IP addresses that will listen for requests
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['localhost','127.0.0.1']
# Email Settings
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'yourgmailaddress@gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'silly four letr pass'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
Illicit the migrate manage.py to create your database.
Make sure you have created a superuser as well, you will use that to login to the application.
You will need a multi-channel DC 5V relay module. I used an 'ELEGOO 8 Channel DC 5V Relay Module with Optocoupler'
Below is the layout that I used in my personal application so that it can be reference in the add/edit rig modules.
| GPIO # | Relay # |
|---|---|
| 26 | 01 |
| 19 | 02 |
| 13 | 03 |
| 06 | 04 |
| 05 | 05 |
