Release 4.5.2

SN34's earlier identity: Filed under SN34 from a source its on-chain identity named before. The identity has changed and no longer names this source, so the item is not listed as news of the subnet on SN34 now.

Validators can now run as Docker containers alongside the existing pm2 setup. pm2 remains the default — Docker is an explicit opt-in via --docker on all gascli validator commands. Running with pm2 (default) gascli v start gascli v stop gascli v logs Running with Docker gascli v start --docker gascli v stop --docker gascli v delete --docker gascli v status --docker gascli v logs --docker Or directly via Compose: docker compose --env-file .env.validator up -d Architecture Three containers share a single bitmind-subnet-validator image, each running one service (controlled by the SERVICE env var): Container Role validator Core validation loop, FastAPI callback server generator Image/video generation (GPU-enabled) data Dataset downloads and cache management Configuration .env.validator is the single source of truth for both container environment and Compose variable substitution (bind-mount paths, ports, etc.). Copy the template and fill in your details: cp .env.validator.template .env.validator Key fields: Variable Description WALLET_PATH Host path to your Bittensor wallets directory WALLET_NAME / WALLET_HOTKEY Only that wallet's subdirectory is bind-mounted BT_LOGGING_LOGGING_DIR Base path for validator state and Bittensor logs SN34_CACHE_DIR Model/data cache — shared between pm2 and Docker, no re-downloading when switching HF_HOME Hugging Face cache — also shared with pm2 CALLBACK_PORT Port miners call back to; exposed via network_mode: host NETUID Auto-derived from CHAIN_ENDPOINT; set explicitly to override Persistent state Scores, challenge tasks, and Bittensor logs are bind-mounted from the host under BT_LOGGING_LOGGING_DIR/WALLET_NAME/WALLET_HOTKEY/ and survive container restarts. Automatic updates A cron-friendly docker/autoupdate.sh script pulls the latest image and restarts containers: */5 * * * * /path/to/bitmind-subnet/docker/autoupdate.sh >> /var/log/bitmind-docker-update.log 2>&1 Viewing logs # via gascli gascli v logs --docker # directly (per service) dock
