Staking pool

[HuguesDohmen]

Regarding Cardano staking pool.

I managed to setup a server on my sons vps and in a virtuel machine on my own machine. It's not very well documented and doesn't work right out of the box even you follow the guide lines 100%. One of the problems I figured out is the genesis hash. They have multiple versions of that. A beta version, "initial version", daily version. Next you need to have peers in your config file that is actually alive otherwise it can not figure out to connect to the network.

One issue is that like my sons vps it runs Ubuntu 16 that has a too old version of openssl. On my sons machine I had to manually download and install a newer version because the Cardano software depends on it. Maybe the pool server has a dependency to openssl that we break if we update. It's too risky. Even if we make a snapshot before installing it will still take 3-4 hours to do and if we need to roll back then everything mined in that period is gone.

Is there some newer version of the instruction we found on the cardano website?
Can you provide me with all detailed info on how to setup a staking pool?
