For solo mining directly on your Apollo node, you can install Docker, then build and run a docker image of the solo ckpool using this repository: https://github.com/golden-guy/docker-ckpool

Since I don't have a full node Apollo, I cannot test and verify this myself there unfortunately. But I tested this successfully in similar setups on other SBCs (RPi/Odroid) running Debian/Ubuntu - and the Apollo's OrangePi SBC running Armbian should support the Docker installation as well, as documented here: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Advanced-Features/#how-to-run-docker

Would be great if somebody tried and can give feedback if that has worked out. At least that would be a viable workaround for now for those who feel the itch to solo mine on their Apollo node.

ckpool is solving a block more often since I've add my 3 Apollo miner a month ago and it's attracting more miner.s
We went from 26P to 98P.
The only problem is it's not me solving the blocks with my 14 Th/s Cheesy

Is there any benefits using the docker as oppose to just entering the pool info?

Well someone here solve the last ckpool solo block using 10TH worth of Apollos Cheesy

Probably why the pool has attracted more Apollo users since then.

The benefit is that you are using your own node to construct and broadcast the bitcoin block if found, with ckpool, the pool itself has control over the block creation (and therefor could theoretically censor transactions). Until we release our own implimination of solo mining I would not suggest trying to do this on your own unless you know your node is well connected to other pools (which is hard to do on an individual level). We are working with pool partners to directly connect all Apollo solo miners to major pools once our implementation launches.
