Official Folding@home Containers

The official Folding@home containers are designed to be simple and run in any container environment - desktop, laptop, Kubernetes, Helm, Docker Compose, OpenShift, Cloud...

Containers track stable versions of the Folding@home Client. They will run on any Linux distribution, and are based on LTS version of Ubuntu, OpenCL, and CUDA libraries. They contain enough utilities to exec in and be able to debug any problems.

Containers

• GPU container - fah-gpu

Deployments

This repo will also container Helm templates and other deployment scripts/tools for a variety of environments.

Folding@home Container Design Rules

• Containers will mount all read-write state, including config.xml which also has client state, into /fah/.
• Containerized clients will output to stdout/sterr for container logs.
• Containers are designed to be monitored via logs, and controlled with files.
• No example configurations will expose ports, and that functionality will be configured off in examples. Folding@home was built to run on desktops/LANs, and currently should not be exposed to the internet.
