A few questions while playing around with RPi setup. MinePeon and WebUI are freshly-pulled from git.
How do I automatically restart network service?
I can manually do
sudo systemctl restart network.service
however, what would be an automatic equivalent in case my router goes down/reboots.
Currently, if I pull the ethernet cable and plug it back in, dmesg will show that the link went down then up. However, the assigned IP (I have a static IP set up) is gone from ifconfig and the device becomes unreachable. The only solution so far is to physically access the device and perform the command above.
Can MinePeon be preconfigured, so that it is always online, even after connectivity loss?
Additionally, what is the critical CPU temp? I have
heatsinks attached. Without the case, the temp reported in WebUI is 46C, with the case 54C.
I have found setting a DHCP reservation in the router for the Pi using the mac address works best if you want the same IP all the time. Then when you update the build, you will still get the same IP. I do this so my monitoring and miner.php configs never have to be modified. I have 5 setup this way and I never had it get messed up, even with minor network hiccups at the DC.
I don't have any info on Pi temps as far as acceptable ranges, but I have all mine in cases and they have been mining for months. Maybe someone else might have more info.
