Science United on k8s

Donate extra cpu cycles to charity with Kubernetes, Docker and boinc.

Installation

edit scienceunited/account.env with your account information.

kubectl apply -k scienceunited

List Pods.

kubectl get po -l app=boinc -A

Then join a project or use a manager.

kubectl -n united exec -it boinc-d85b899c4-dlnk9 bash
boinccmd --acct_mgr attach "$URL" "$NAME" "$PASS"

Follow the pods logs

kubectl -n united logs -lapp=boinc -f

Note

The initial container configuration is pointing to an updated boinc client (v7.16.3) for arm32v7 platform. To use in other platforms, edit base/deployment.yaml to point to the official boinc/client:latest image.

Utility controller

There is simple script controller to issue commands directly in the running pods. It depends on jq.

# force account resync
./controller boinccmd --acct_mgr sync

# get currently assigned tasks
./controller boinccmd --get_tasks
