## TL;DR
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Install.
|
|
flatpak install 'edu.berkeley.BOINC'
|
|
sudo zypper install 'boinc-client' 'boinc-manager'
|
|
|
|
# Set the GUI RPC communications port.
|
|
boinc --gui_rpc_port 30000
|
|
```

### Remote management
|
|
|
|
Quick, dirty solution: use the `--allow_remote_gui_rpc` option when starting the client.<br/>
|
|
This will make the BOINC client accept connections from **any** host (subject to password authentication) even if the client's configuration files are set otherwise.
|
|
|
|
Better solution:
|
|
|
|
1. add the `<allow_remote_gui_rpc>1</allow_remote_gui_rpc>` **option** to the `cc_config.xml` file in the BOINC data directory
|
|
1. restart the service to make the above change effective
|
|
1. check port 31416 (or the one configured for use) is reachable from other hosts
|
|
1. specify a set of allowed hosts creating the `remote_hosts.cfg` file in the BOINC data directory; its entries must be DNS host names or IP addresses, and must be one per line
|
|
|
|
> the _Read config file_ action in BOINC Manager's _Advanced_ menu will also read the `remote_hosts.cfg` file, so a restart of the client is not required to enable changes to the remote host list.
|
|
|
|
1. check the `gui_rpc_auth.cfg` file in the BOINC data directory to get the password for authentication
|
|
|
|
## Use the GPU for computation
|
|
|
|
Also see [AMD Linux drivers] and [Radeon™ Software for Linux® Installation].
|
|
|
|
The BOINC client seems to need to be added to the `video` group to be able to use the drivers correctly - this is something I still need to check.
|
|
|
|
### On OpenSUSE
|
|
|
|
Install the `amdgpu-install` package from [AMD's Linux drivers][amd linux drivers] page, then execute it.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Previous versions of the package (like the one in the official documentation
|
|
# at the time of writing) made DKMS fail.
|
|
sudo zypper install 'https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/22.20.3/sle/15.4/amdgpu-install-22.20.50203-1.noarch.rpm'
|
|
sudo amdgpu-install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
At the next restart of the boinc-client, something similar to this line should appear in the client's logs:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
