What this script does

Hover or tap a box to see the lines it explains.

  1. Script format

    Tells HexOS this is a version 5 install script, so it knows how to read the rest.

    Line 2

  2. Script revision

    This copy of the script is revision 0.1.0. Latest change: “Auto-generated draft from TrueNAS chia 1.3.13”.

    Lines 3–6

  3. Storage locations it needs

    The app uses these HexOS storage locations: App storage (fast). If one isn't set up yet, HexOS will ask you to pick a place for it.

    Line 8

  4. Minimum hardware

    Recommended minimum: 2 CPU cores.

    Line 9

  5. Permission to use your folders

    Allows the app to read and write files inside the storage locations listed above — and nowhere else.

    Line 10

  6. Network ports

    The app needs ports 8444 and 8447 to be free on your server. A port is like an apartment number for your server's address.

    Line 11

  7. Folders created on install

    Creates the folders the app needs before it starts: App storage (fast) › chia, App storage (fast) › chia › data and App storage (fast) › chia › plots. Folders marked “snapshot” are included in HexOS snapshots, so you can roll them back.

    Lines 13–24

  8. Where the app's main data is saved

    Where the app's main data is saved on your server: App storage (fast) › chia › data.

    Line 27

  9. Where the app's “plots” files is saved

    Where the app's “plots” files is saved on your server: App storage (fast) › chia › plots.

    Line 28

  10. Chia port: 8444

    Publishes the app's chia port as 8444.

    Line 31

  11. Farmer port: 8447

    Publishes the app's farmer port as 8447.

    Line 32

  12. Resource limits

    Caps how much of your server the app can use: 2 CPU cores and 10% of your server's memory, but never more than 4 GB. This keeps one busy app from slowing everything else down.

    Line 34
