I run a private local Parity node that uses the Ethash engine. How do I use a miner with it?

I tried ethminer like suggested in the wiki (https://wiki.parity.io/Mining), but executing ethminer -G responds with "At least one pool URL must be specified". I also tried running ethminer -F http://localhost:8545 as suggested in Parity mining in testnet, but it says The following argument was not expected: -F.

Here's my mining config section: [mining] engine_signer = "0x00bd138abd70e2f00903268f3db08f2d25677c9e" author = "0x00bd138abd70e2f00903268f3db08f2d25677c9e" And this is my chainspec engine part: "engine": { "Ethash": { "params": { "minimumDifficulty": "0x020000", "difficultyBoundDivisor": "0x400", "metropolisDifficultyIncrementDivisor": "0xA", "blockReward": "0x4563918244F40000", "homesteadTransition": "0", "difficultyHardforkTransition": "0xC55F7BC23038E38", "difficultyHardforkBoundDivisor": "0x800", "bombDefuseTransition": "0", "eip150Transition": 0, "eip160Transition": 0, "eip161abcTransition": 0, "eip161dTransition": 0, "eip170Transition": 0, "eip100bTransition":0, "eip658Transition":0 } } },

I don't care which miner I use, I just need my transactions to be mined.

Enabled Stratum on my node, then ethminer -G -P stratum+tcp://127.0.0.1:8008 worked for me.
