With energy prices higher than ever, it was great to see an initiative from the Threefold project to lower the power consumption of Threefold Farms whilst still earning the same rewards.
The name of that initiative is called the "Farmerbot". The farmerbot is a service that a farmer can run in order to automatically manage the nodes in his or her farm. This is based on power management and maximizing downtime as much as possible whilst recommending which nodes to use.
I have had a few attempts and failures at getting the farmerbot to work, but slowly and surely I learned from my mistakes with the help of the Threefold social media channels (big thanks to Scott and Jelle in particular) and and found a 100% method to get the Farmerbot to work with a Raspberry Pi 4.
The aim of this video is to give you a complete A-Z to setting up the farmerbot on your farm. The information on the various sections is scattered in various TFT forum posts, so I wanted to give back to the community and put everything in this one video and make it nice and simple to understand the steps.
In this video, I will cover:
1) the power usage prior to setting up farmerbot
2) WOL (Wake up on Lan) setup on your PCs via the BIOS
3) Device of choice for the Farmerbot
4) Full Software setup and links to the Farmerbot Software and config files
