Setting a mining pool is similar to setting up one of your seed nodes. For the pool, we will be using a $10 / month instance on [https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ Amazon Lightsail].

=== Create Pool Instance ===
* Click on the "Create Instance" button.

* Select "OS Only", choose Ubuntu and name your instance something meaningful.

* Click on the instance for your pool and create a static IP for it.
* Open the following ports under networking:

=== Install Dependancies ===
<code>sudo apt-get install aptitude </code>

<code>sudo aptitude update</code>

<code>sudo aptitude install –with-recommends build-essential autotools-dev autoconf automake libcurl3 libcurl4-gnutls-dev git make cmake libssl-dev pkg-config libevent-dev libunbound-dev libminiupnpc-dev doxygen supervisor jq libboost-all-dev htop</code>

<code>apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev </code>

<code>apt-get install libboost-all-dev git npm nodejs nodejs-legacy libminiupnpc-dev redis-server</code>

<code>add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin</code>

<code>apt-get update</code>

<code>apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev</code>

<code>curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.0/install.sh -o install_nvm.sh</code>

<code>bash install_nvm.sh</code>

* After npm is installed you will have to log out and then back into your instance and continue installing dependancies.

<code>source ~/.profile</code>

<code>nvm install 0.10.48</code>

<code>nvm use 0.10.48</code>

<code>nvm alias default 0.10.48</code>

<code>nvm use default</code>

* Install Apache2 for hosting the front end.

<code>sudo apt-get update</code>

<code>sudo apt-get install apache2</code>

* Adjust firewall to allow Apache full.

<code>sudo ufw app list</code>

<code>sudo ufw allow 'Apache Full'</code>

=== Install Forknote ===
*Download the Linux CLI version of Forknote from the [http://forknote.net/download/ Forknote download page]. You can use wget from the command line like so:

<code>wget https://github.com/forknote/forknote/releases/download/2.1.2/forknote-linux.tar.gz</code>

*Extract the archive.

<code>tar -xzf forknote-linux.tar.gz</code>

*Change into the forknote-linux directory:

<code>cd forknote-linux</code>

* Copy your config file into 'sweetonium.conf'
<code>nano sweetonium.conf</code>

=== Start Forknoted ===
<code>./forknote-linux/forknoted --no-console --log-level 4 --config-file ./sweetonium.conf --log-file ./sweetonium.log > /dev/null &</code>

=== Start Simplewallet ===
* Create a new wallet and make note of the wallet address and view key.
<code>./simplewallet --config-file ./sweetonium.conf</code>

* Type 'exit' and run the following code
<code>./simplewallet --config-file ./sweetonium.conf --wallet-file <wallet_name> --password <wallet_password> --rpc-bind-port 57577</code>

=== Setup and install pool software ===
<code>git clone https://github.com/forknote/cryptonote-universal-pool.git pool</code>

<code>cd pool</code>

<code>npm update</code>

=== Pool Configuration ===
* Copy config_example.json to config.json
<code>cp config_example.json config.json</code>
* Edit config.json to match your coin's configuration
This is important! Damon port must equal your rpc-bind-port and wallet port must equal the port you started simplewallet with. You can leave the API port alone.

=== Start Pool ===
<code>node init.js</code>

=== Host the front end ===
To host the front end we will need to copy everything in the website directory into the html directory

<code>sudo cp -rf admin.html config.js custom.css custom.js index.html pages/ themes/ /var/www/html</code>

You can see your website by looking up your pool's IP address in a browser

=== Customizing your website ===
* Go into the html directory and edit config.js with your pool's IP
<code> cd /var/www/html</code>

<code>sudo nano config.js</code>

[[File:Screen_Shot_2018-09-03_at_12.26.19_PM.png|500px]]

* Go into index.html to change the name of your mining pool
<code>sudo nano index.html</code>

Optional
* Edit custom.css to create your own pool's style
* Edit custom.js for changing the functionality of your pool's website

This is an example of what your website can look like:
