Guidefrom your account to your first miner

01Create your account

Open cockpit.ariabrain.com and click Create an account.

Enter your email and a password of at least 10 characters.

We send you a 6 digit code by email. Type it in and your account is ready.

Then open the Account tab and turn on the authenticator. It protects your rigs even if someone learns your password.

02Connect your PCs

Your PCs need Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 or newer) and, for GPU mining, the NVIDIA driver.

Open the Rigs tab and click Fleet key. Choose how long the key works and how many PCs you want to connect, then click Create.

Copy the command and paste it in a terminal on each PC, with your own account, not root. Your sudo password is asked once.

Each PC shows up in the Overview tab under its own name within a few seconds.

The key is shown only once. Keep it private and revoke it when you are done.

03Start mining

Open the Profiles tab and click New profile.

Choose the PC and the device: the CPU, GPU 0, GPU 1 and so on.

Choose the coin. The ARIA miner and the AriaPool pool are filled in for you.

Paste your wallet address, give a worker name and click Save.

In the Overview tab, click Start. The first time, the PC downloads the ARIA miner and checks it before it runs.

04Follow your rigs

Overview shows every device live.

Charts keeps 30 days of history.

Logs shows the miner output and the rig events.

Calculator estimates your earnings from your own measured hashrate.

GPU overclock is in Overview, next to Stop.

05Stay safe

Use a strong password and the authenticator.

If the wallet of a profile changes, we email you right away. If it was not you, sign in, put your wallet back and change your password.

Never share a fleet key. Revoke the keys you no longer use.

06Update a PC

Your PCs update themselves.

If a rig shows agent outdated in the Rigs tab, run this once on that PC, with your own account:

cd ~/cockpit && C=cockpit.conf.json && V() { grep -o "\"$1\": *\"[^\"]*\"" $C | cut -d'"' -f4; } \
 && curl -fsSL -H "Authorization: Bearer $(V token)" -H "X-Rig-Id: $(V rig_id)" "$(V hub_url)/dl/cockpit-rig.tar.gz" -o /tmp/cockpit-update.tgz \
 && systemctl --user stop cockpit-agent && tar xzf /tmp/cockpit-update.tgz && rm -f /tmp/cockpit-update.tgz; \
sudo ./install.sh; systemctl --user start cockpit-agent; echo "ARIACOCKPIT: agent $(systemctl --user is-active cockpit-agent)"

It ends with ARIACOCKPIT: agent active.

07Remove a PC

In the Rigs tab, click Remove. Then on the PC, run:

systemctl --user disable --now cockpit-agent
rm -rf ~/cockpit
sudo rm /usr/local/sbin/cockpit-helper /etc/sudoers.d/cockpit /etc/cockpit-helper.conf
