I boinc in an LXC container with a cron job to run during the period in the day on weekdays when the electricity is pretty much all renewables (and I’m not watching Jellyfin). The intention is to turn sunlight into tiny forward progress towards curing cancer.
Do you have a recipe or script or something? The docker image seems to assume you’re running it on your own computer and will be configuring it with some GUI? But I’m not going to install xfce on my server and RDP into it to get boinc running.
Once that’s installed, you go to the project (in my case, World Grid) and setup your account. As part of that, it will give you a URL and account key. Then back on your server, you use the boinccmd to --project_attach the URL and key.
Or some BOINCing.

Specifically, the Community Grid projects Mapping Cancer Markers and Smash Childhood Cancer.
thats really great.
Im currently saving up on a new roof of an older farm building, and depending on the utilities I can come up I will put solar panels on it.
I am really thinking how to utilize the extra power, this one sounds like a great addition to an business concept for downtimes.

You don’t need the GUI, the client does all the work. I use a Debian container, so just
sudo apt-get install boinc-client.Once that’s installed, you go to the project (in my case, World Grid) and setup your account. As part of that, it will give you a URL and account key. Then back on your server, you use the

username checks out.
