Chia Gentoo Overlay

This overlay contains chia-blockchain and related ebuilds.

Installation

Copy chia_repo.conf to /etc/portage/repos.conf and update location to the preferred local path.

e.g.:

# wget -O /etc/portage/repos.conf/chia.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ricky/chia-overlay/main/chia_repo.conf
# sed -i 's/CHIA_OVERLAY_PATH/\/var\/db\/repos\/chia/' /etc/portage/repos.conf/chia.conf
# emerge --sync

Quickstart

# emerge net-p2p/chia-blockchain

You may need to accept ~ keywords for your arch, if you're primarily using stable packages.

Note: The following commands assume you'll want to use the chia user, which is not configured w/ a login shell by default. For any other user, simply drop the runuser part and run the commands directly as that user. When using the OpenRC script, edit /etc/conf.d/chia as necessary.

# runuser -s /bin/sh chia -c 'chia init'
# runuser -s /bin/sh chia -c 'chia keys generate'

systemd:

# runuser -s /bin/sh chia -c 'systemctl --user start chia@farmer'

OpenRC:

# /etc/init.d/chia start

farmer can be replaced by any service supported by chia start in either the systemctl command or /etc/conf.d/chia.
