Folding@Cloud

Scripts to setup a Folding@Home GPU instance in Azure.

Note: Azure was the best place for me to set this up, but it should be possible to use at least the cloud-init on any cloud. I will happily take PRs to add support for other cloud providers.

Prerequisites

1. An Azure account.
2. Install the Azure CLI.
3. Login your Azure account via the CLI.

Getting Started

1. Update the Folding@Home configuration in cloud-init.yaml.
2. Run start.sh -h
3. Run start.sh with any customizations that you want.
4. Check the logs: ssh <public_dns> tail -f /var/lib/fahclient/log.txt
