What is hiveos-local?

HiveOS-Local is a backup control panel for cryptocurrency mining rigs that run HiveOS, a popular operating system for managing groups of mining computers from the cloud. Normally you control your rig through HiveOS's own web dashboard, but if HiveOS's remote servers ever go down, you lose the ability to manage your rig from the internet. This project installs alongside HiveOS and gives you a local web page, reachable only from your own home network, so you can still check on and adjust your rig even when the main cloud service is unreachable. After installing it with a single setup script, you open a web browser on your local network and log in with a 6-digit PIN that the installer generates for you. From there you can view your GPU settings and adjust overclocking, which is the practice of tuning a graphics card's speed and power draw to mine more efficiently while managing heat. The dashboard includes separate, detailed guidance for NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards, since each brand handles these settings differently. Beyond overclocking, the tool shows live information about your rig, including CPU temperature and mining speed for computers that also mine using their processor. You can start, stop, or restart the mining software, reboot or shut down the rig itself, and watch a live stream of the mining program's log output. It also includes safety features such as automatically saving a backup of your settings before changing them, and blocking unusual or unexpected input to the settings forms to keep the rig's controls secure on your local network. There is also an optional add-on that can collect and display information from several rigs running this software at once, for people managing more than one machine.
