+
-- Hub CT: 306
-- Public URL: https://plexus.lussier.cc
-- Repository: https://gitea.lussier.cc/lussierj/minerops
-- Backend container: minerops-backend
-- Database container: minerops-postgres
-- Redis container: minerops-redis
+
+ Know every miner • Track every repair • Control every rack
+
-## Main pages
+
+
+
+
+
-- /dashboard - fleet dashboard and repair summary
-- /repairs - repair queue, notes, parts used, history, CSV export
-- /locations - room/rack/shelf location map
-- /system-health - app, database, table size, route, and retention health
+---
-## Repair workflow
+## Overview
-1. Open /repairs.
-2. Find the miner by MAC, IP, model, serial, or problem.
-3. Add repair notes.
-4. Select parts used and quantity.
-5. Update repair status.
-6. Use History to edit or delete mistaken entries.
-7. Mark Ready to Shelf or use Move to Shelf.
-8. Return the miner to an open shelf position on /locations.
+MinerOps is an open-source operations platform built for cryptocurrency mining facilities.
-## Repair statuses
+Rather than relying on spreadsheets, disconnected monitoring tools, and handwritten repair logs, MinerOps brings every operational workflow together into a single self-hosted application.
-- Open
-- Diagnosing
-- Waiting Parts
-- In Progress
+MinerOps is designed to manage the complete lifecycle of a mining fleet, including inventory, physical locations, repairs, monitoring, maintenance, and secure remote management.
+
+Originally developed for WhatsMiner fleets, the platform is being built around a modular architecture that will support additional miner platforms through protocol adapters in future releases.
+
+---
+
+# Vision
+
+Running a mining operation requires far more than knowing whether a miner is online.
+
+MinerOps is designed to become the operational hub for an entire mining facility by combining:
+
+- Asset Inventory
+- Physical Location Management
+- Repair & Maintenance Tracking
+- Live Fleet Monitoring
+- Historical Reporting
+- Secure Remote Management
+- Operational Analytics
+- Fleet Automation
+
+into one cohesive platform.
+
+The long-term goal is to replace multiple disconnected systems with a single source of truth for mining operations.
+
+---
+
+# Current Status
+
+⚠️ **MinerOps is under active development.**
+
+The current focus is building a scalable, maintainable architecture before expanding user-facing functionality.

+
+---
+
+# Core Features
+
+## 📦 Asset Inventory
+
+Maintain a permanent identity for every miner independent of its network configuration.
+
+Planned capabilities include:
+
+- Asset IDs
+- MAC history
+- Control board tracking
+- PSU serial tracking
+- Firmware history
+- Lifecycle management
+- Tags
+- Notes
+- Asset movement history
+
+---
+
+## 📍 Physical Location Tracking
+
+Track exactly where every miner is installed.
+
+Supports:
+
+- Sites
+- Rooms
+- Rows
+- Racks
+- Shelves
+- Positions
+
+with complete movement history.
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Repair Management
+
+Track every repair from diagnosis through return to production.
+
+Features include:
+
+- Work orders
+- Technician notes
+- Parts used
+- Repair history
- Testing
-- Ready to Shelf
-- Needs Follow-up
-- Completed
-- Failed
-- Cancelled
+- Attachments
+- Maintenance mode
-## Retention
+---
-Retention is currently scheduled in dry-run mode.
+## 📊 Fleet Monitoring
-Current intended policy:
+Monitor operational health across the fleet.
-- Raw status snapshots: 30 days
-- Hourly rollups: 1 year or longer
-- Daily rollups: long term
-- Repair, location, and MAC history: permanent
+Planned monitoring includes:
-Verify /system-health before switching retention to apply mode.
+- Hashrate
+- Temperature
+- Fan status
+- Hashboard health
+- PSU status
+- Pool connectivity
+- Worker information
+- Firmware
+- Alerts
-## Common commands
+---
-Health check:
+## 🌐 Network Discovery
-pct exec 306 -- bash -lc "curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/health"
+Automatically discover miners while maintaining stable asset identities.
-Rebuild backend:
+Planned capabilities include:
-pct exec 306 -- bash -lc "cd /opt/minerops && docker compose build backend || docker-compose build backend"
-pct exec 306 -- bash -lc "cd /opt/minerops && docker compose up -d --force-recreate backend || docker-compose up -d --force-recreate backend"
+- Configurable scan ranges
+- Duplicate detection
+- MAC history
+- IP history
+- Capability detection
+- Discovery review workflow
-Check logs:
+---
-pct exec 306 -- bash -lc "docker logs minerops-backend --since 30m"
+## 🎛 Secure Remote Control
-Git status:
+Safely execute commands against supported miners.
-pct exec 306 -- bash -lc "cd /opt/minerops && git status --short"
+Examples include:
-## Safety notes
+- Reboot
+- Shutdown
+- Performance mode
+- Pool configuration
+- Firmware operations
-- Do not commit .env.
-- Do not commit backups, logs, database dumps, imports, or runtime data.
-- Check /system-health after major changes.
-- Commit and push after each stable working change.
+All commands will be permission-aware, audited, and designed for safe execution.
+
+---
+
+## 🛰 Site Agents
+
+Future releases will include lightweight Site Agents responsible for:
+
+- Network discovery
+- Miner polling
+- Local command execution
+- Secure communication with the MinerOps server
+
+This architecture allows mining networks to remain isolated while still enabling centralized fleet management.
+
+---
+
+# Architecture
+
+MinerOps follows a layered architecture that separates business logic from persistence.
+
+```
+FastAPI Routers
+ │
+ ▼
+Service Layer
+ │
+ ▼
+Repository Layer
+ │
+ ▼
+PostgreSQL
+```
+
+Business rules belong in Services.
+
+Database access belongs in Repositories.
+
+Schema changes are managed exclusively through Alembic migrations.
+
+This architecture keeps MinerOps modular, testable, and easy to extend.
+
+---
+
+# Technology Stack
+
+Current
+
+- Python
+- FastAPI
+- PostgreSQL
+- Redis
+- Alembic
+- Docker Compose
+- Pydantic
+
+Planned
+
+- React
+- TypeScript
+- Site Agents
+- Protocol adapters
+- Background task processing
+
+---
+
+# Development Philosophy
+
+MinerOps is built around a few guiding principles.
+
+- Self-hosted first
+- Reliability over unnecessary complexity
+- Small, reviewable commits
+- Test before commit
+- Database changes managed through Alembic
+- Business logic separated from persistence
+- Secure by default
+- Role-based authorization
+- Comprehensive audit logging
+- Incremental development over large rewrites
