Configuration - nortonlifelock/miningcore GitHub Wiki
There are 2 ways to configure the pool:
The most common is with a json file, passed in at runtime. The second is by having the entire json configuration stored in an Azure Application Config instance.
To Make this work, we need an environment variable "ConnectionString" that provides connectivity to Azure AppConfig.
Then, in AppConfig, we need the following keys. The credentials can be Azure KeyVault references.
persistence.postgres.user persistence.postgres.password paymentProcessing.coinbasePassword config.json-> the entire json config, minus the above credentials, which can be left blank
Below is the expected Json Configuration
