im attempting to setup ckpool on a vm on a local machine for my gear

i followed this guide:

... pretty simple compared to how i was doing it a couple years ago!

i have just a query regarding syntax for the service which auto starts ckpool on boot...

/etc/systemd/system/ckpool.service:

Code:

ExecStart=/home/ckpool/solobtc/src/ckpool -B

when using solo mode (-B argument) it requires a < -n name/btcaddress > argument...

so this is what i think it should be:

Code:

ExecStart=/home/ckpool/solobtc/src/ckpool -B -L -n "bc1---my btc address---"

is the above correct?

should i add a -k in order to ensure it always starts up if the service is restarted or any other additional arguments, either in ckpool or bitcoind?

before i would use bitcoind wallet address for solo mining - should i use a local bitcoind wallet address? or would my ledger wallet address be ok?

/etc/systemd/system/bitcoind.service:

Code:

ExecStart=/snap/bin/bitcoin-core.daemon -daemon -pid=bitcoin.pid

im waiting for initial block download to complete so cant test yet.

in order to make a confirmation on testnet that my setup is working, what should be changed?

No this is not correct. You don't pass it a bitcoin address as the name of the application. It just means it will only accepts usernames that are bitcoin addresses in solo mode.
