Boinc config file11/18/2023 ![]() Scroll to the portion that says “enabled = 0” and change it to “enabled = 1”. Run the following shell commands: killall boinc If only the Centos install process could be this easy!ĥ) Kill the running copy of boinc and edit the config file If apt-get is working, and you have a reasonably new-ish copy of Ubuntu, just wait a bit and that’s it for this step. This may be necessary if your computer did not have internet access at the time you installed ubuntu initially.Ĥ) Install BOINC with the command: “apt-get install boinc-client -y” The remaining steps assume you’ll be running shell commands over an SSH loginģ) Make sure apt-get is up to date and cleaned up. ![]() Getting this done is outside the scope of this article, but there are plenty of other guides available online.Ģ) Login to your Ubuntu computer / server over SSH. ![]() It will still honor your configuration for what time of day to do CPU crunching, but the control process will always be running in the background.ġ) Install a reasonably up to date copy of Ubuntu, if you haven’t already. These steps will configure the BOINC client to run 24/7 including at bootup. If you’re not sure how to SSH login to your server, or don’t know how to edit text files in linux, this guide won’t include enough detail for you.Ĥ) You want to run the BOINC client as a daemon, that is, 24/7 If we figure out an easy way to get this installed in Centos, we’ll post a followup guide in the future.ģ) You’ll be running commands over SSH, and are comfortable editing text files in linux via ssh (using a program such as nano) By comparison, installing in Ubuntu is quick and painless, so we’re focusing this guide there. Most of the guides out there assume you’re installing this on your desktop computer with a linux GUI, so naturally, our guide is more helpful if you’re installing this on a linux serverĢ) You’re installing this on Ubuntu and NOT CentosĪlthough I love Centos, trying to get BOINC installed under Centos just leaves you in dependency hell. After looking through various tutorials, installing packages, dependencies, etc, I can tell you it’s a bit of a mess! So I’d like to help with that process with a simple guide.ġ) You are installing this remotely, on a computer with no readily accessible GUI We felt a followup article on actually installing and using world community grid would be called for here. Although installing the windows client is quick and painless, you may be at a bit of a loss on how to install this under linux. has donated, as of this writing, over 37 years of idle server compute time to world community grid, and we’d love for you to join us. If you want, you can also join team IOFLOOD on world community grid. We recommended this for desktop computers mostly, but also servers if they are completely idle. Some of you may have read our previous article on world community grid, saying why it is a good idea to donate your spare cpu time.
