claudeandClaude Opus 5.5 46aec42185 Move RPC login to a Secret, put P2Pool on a selectable sidechain
The monerod RPC login was in both Deployments' args, readable by anyone who
can read Deployments. It now lives in the monerod-rpc Secret and reaches the
containers through an env var.

P2Pool now runs on monero_p2pool_chain, defaulting to nano. On main the
miners found a share about every 6 days and missed most PPLNS windows.
The hardcoded main-chain peer only applied to main, so peers are a variable.

monerod's RPC SSL is now autodetect: Shkeeper's Monero module always uses
plain HTTP, so with SSL required it saw the node as Offline and hid XMR.

Also: Deployments use apps/v1, monerod's ZMQ binds 0.0.0.0 to match the
live deployment (P2Pool connects from its own pod), required variables are
checked up front, and the README describes the role.

ansible-role-monero
===================
Deploys a Monero node (monerod) and a P2Pool node to Kubernetes, in the
`monero` namespace. Miners point xmrig at the P2Pool service on port 3333.
Role Variables
--------------
Required, from Vault:
- `monerod_user`, `monerod_password`: monerod's RPC login. Stored in the
`monerod-rpc` Secret and passed to both containers through an environment
variable, so it doesn't show in the Deployment specs.
- `monero_p2pool_wallet_address`: the address P2Pool pays out to.
Optional:
- `monero_p2pool_chain` (default `nano`): `main`, `mini` or `nano`. Match it
to your total hashrate; see the note in `defaults/main.yml`. Switching
chains starts from zero shares on the new chain, and shares on the old one
stop earning once they leave its PPLNS window.
- `monero_p2pool_addpeers` (default `[]`): extra P2Pool peers as `host:port`.
They must be on the same chain.
Example Playbook
