MinerOps

The self-hosted operating system for cryptocurrency mining operations.

Know every miner • Track every repair • Control every rack


Overview

MinerOps is an open-source operations platform built for cryptocurrency mining facilities.

Rather than relying on spreadsheets, disconnected monitoring tools, and handwritten repair logs, MinerOps brings every operational workflow together into a single self-hosted application.

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.

Completed

  • Docker-based development environment
  • PostgreSQL + Redis backend
  • Alembic migration framework
  • Authentication
  • Role-based access control
  • Manual inventory schema
  • Inventory domain architecture
  • Automated migration testing
  • Disposable development environment

Currently In Progress

  • Inventory API
  • Inventory user interface
  • Domain-driven architecture migration

Planned

  • Asset identity & MAC history
  • Physical location management
  • Repair & work order management
  • Parts inventory
  • Fleet monitoring
  • Site agents
  • Multi-version WhatsMiner API support
  • Alerting & notifications
  • Bulk operations
  • Scheduled automation
  • Reporting & analytics
  • Production deployment tools

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
  • Attachments
  • Maintenance mode

📊 Fleet Monitoring

Monitor operational health across the fleet.

Planned monitoring includes:

  • Hashrate
  • Temperature
  • Fan status
  • Hashboard health
  • PSU status
  • Pool connectivity
  • Worker information
  • Firmware
  • Alerts

🌐 Network Discovery

Automatically discover miners while maintaining stable asset identities.

Planned capabilities include:

  • Configurable scan ranges
  • Duplicate detection
  • MAC history
  • IP history
  • Capability detection
  • Discovery review workflow

🎛 Secure Remote Control

Safely execute commands against supported miners.

Examples include:

  • Reboot
  • Shutdown
  • Performance mode
  • Pool configuration
  • Firmware operations

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
