PhoenixMiner is a containerised GPU cryptocurrency miner for homelab users running mining workloads on Unraid. It packages PhoenixMiner in Docker with included AMD drivers, avoids VFIO (Virtual Function I/O) so it is not affected by the AMD reset bug, and supports most Nvidia GPUs via open-source drivers.

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.
