This project is intended to use free resources provided by Heroku to execute Folding@home

Background

As Corona virus(Covid-19) becomes a global threat, Folding@home redirected all resources to help with understanding the virus and developing treatments. This project is intended to use personal "Free Dynos" on Heroku to help with CPU computing.

Setup

  • Create a Heroku app
  • Set stack type to container
  • Set buildpack to https://github.com/fionn/heroku-buildpack-nothing.git
  • Change other setting as you wish
  • Deploy code from this repo to the created app. You can
    • Manually deploy with Heroku CLI
    • Fork this repo and link it to Heroku
  • Make sure worker count is scaled to 1 with Free Dynos
  • Watch log and make sure it is working
    • It may takes some time to find available tasks since our setup can only handle small and simple work
