@php Like @mudmanc4 said, I had to add 'client-type' 'advanced' to the expert options. This allows you to get the beta WU's. Estimated production for just my desktop is ~1.3 million PPD, just kicked everything off last night so I'm curious how it'll look over the weekend.

Just kicked one of my 2950's online. The other one is having some...personality issues. Trying to get it online before the night is over.

 

[nanobot]

Got the second 2950 up.

 

Side-note: some of the new COVID-19 projects are CPU-only, so make sure you have your CPU's in the mix. https://foldingathome.org/2020/03/30/covid-19-free-energy-calculations/

Both of my Supermicro's are up.

 

40 CPU Cores here, and 1 1080TI running.

 

[mudmanc4]

The world needs to borrow a foe CPU/GPU processes right now, can we find one in the crowd to turn the testmy.net team #44352 red?

 

 

It only takes 2MM PPD (Points Per Day) to turn out stats red in the name of learning more about a virus that is devastating the humanoids.

 

Even 50PPD helps, your math might have the key!

Bad news @mudmanc4...teams take 10M PPD to turn Red. ☹️

 

 

 

 

[mudmanc4]

@nanobot , thanks for pointing that out, I thought it was 2mm/ppd average, for red

 

Strange, when did that get changed to 10

[nanobot]

Yeah that's for users.

 

To find the team colors you have to hit the general "All Teams List".

[mudmanc4]

Ah, makes a difference while paying attention < used this emote because I always enjoyed it for whatever reason

[nanobot]

TMN is in the top 900 again...#898.

For anyone who wants it: I was searching for something else but came across the configuration guide for the v7 FAH client.

[nanobot]

So I've finally hit the point where my GPU is having trouble picking up WU's.

 

Earlier this week two of my servers started having trouble, so I think we're exhausting the FAH WU's again.

 

[nanobot]

The two Supermicro's are getting WU's again!

 

My GPU picks WU's up sporadically, so I'm only counting on it for ~half the PPD. CPU's here should be good for about 125k PPD. The GPU should be 700k to 1.5m depending on how WU's play out.

[nanobot]

Team has dropped pretty substantially. I haven't been folding as much lately as I've been gaming with my PC again, so I turn it off for 4-8 hours a day.

 

We're #961 right now, I suspect that will drop further before it goes up.

V8.x is functioning and getting WU's

 

It's interesting the way it's setup now. @EBrown @nanobot may have seen this on v7.x

 

Setup and configuration is much more simple and almost too easy,, this from grok

 

Here are step-by-step instructions for installing Folding@home (F@H) v8.x in headless mode, based on the web results provided:

Preparation:

    Download the Latest Client: Ensure you have the latest F@H client for your operating system. For Linux, you'll typically use the .deb package.
    Create or Log into F@H Account: Visit https://beta.foldingathome.org/ to either create an account or log in if you already have one.
    Get Account Token:
        Log into your F@H account on the web control site.
        Navigate to account settings by clicking the user icon in the top right corner.
        Copy the account token provided there.


Installation on Linux:
Debian/Ubuntu:

    Install the Client:
        Open a terminal and install the client with:

sudo dpkg -i fah-client_8.x.x_arm64.deb  # Replace with the correct version and architecture

If there are missing dependencies, resolve them with:

    sudo apt-get install -f

Configure the Client:

    Edit or create the configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/fah-client/config.xml

Add or modify the file to include your account token:
xml

    <config>
      <account-token v="your_account_token_here"/>
    </config>

    Save and exit the editor (in nano, this is Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter).

Enable and Start the Service:

    Enable the service to start at boot:

sudo systemctl enable fah-client

Start the service:

    sudo systemctl start fah-client

Check Service Status:

    Verify the client is running:

        sudo systemctl status fah-client

    Web Control Access:
        Since this is headless, you'll manage the client through Web Control from another device. Use the same account you set up the token with to see your headless machine listed under "Computers" on the F@H web control.


Additional Notes:

    For Non-Linux Systems: The process might differ, but the core concept of using the account token to link the client to your account remains the same. For Windows, you might use a silent install but still need to ensure the client is configured with your account details.
    Troubleshooting:
        If the client doesn't show up in Web Control, ensure your network settings are correct and that there are no firewall issues blocking the connection.
        Check the client logs for errors (on Linux, they might be in /var/lib/fahclient/logs/).
    Updates: Keep the client updated through the system's package manager or directly from the F@H website for security and performance improvements.


These steps should help you set up F@H v8.x in headless mode. Remember, the exact commands or paths might vary slightly depending on your system's configuration or the specific version of the client you're installing.
