I have a dozen spare computers doing CPU mining. I use Patrick's xmrig docker image, which works great. I use a start script on each machine so I can switch among different coins, pools, etc. And since the CPU's are different, the script will set cpuset-cpus accordingly on each machine.
So far it's still manageable, but adding more machines will make it very difficult to switch hashing power around. I looked docker swarm briefly, but couldn't figure out how it will help me while each machine has a different start script to run the dockers. What about proxy? Heave any of you been using it? If I setup a xmrig proxy, and direct all the miners to it, all I need to do to switch hashing power is to update the proxy server settings, am I right?
