Question about Monero node on a local network

If I want to run my node on my local network so I can connect Cake Wallet from my phone to it and also mine with xmrig and p2pool from another computer on my network, do I need to add

–rpc-bind-ip x.x.x.x --confirm-external-bind --zmq-pub tcp://x.x.x.x:18083

Add --rpc-restricted-bind-ip=0.0.0.0 --rpc-restricted-bind-port=18089 --zmq-pub=tcp://0.0.0.0:18083

you dont need rpc-bind-ip or confirm-external-bind.

why? You should avoid exposing the unrestricted rpc (rpc-bind-ip), and instead add a new restricted rpc endpoint.

in cake wallet, you’ll access via port 18089.

to the ./monerod command, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of that computer on the local network, or can I just use

--zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083

as described on the P2Pool Github page?

It depends where the p2pool software will be running. If p2pool software is running on the same host as monerod, then yes, you can use 127.0.0.1 for the zmq-pub
