setup remote access on headless linux server

Post by JurgenMK »

so to sketch the situation, I installed the folding service successfully, now I want to control it from my own computer, so I want to have remote access enabled. I just don't know how because the FAHControl on my windows pc when selecting the remote client keeps saying updating. here is the config file:

Code: Select all

<config>
  <!-- Grant remote web access to the following IP -->
  <allow>192.168.178.159</allow>
  <web-allow>192.168.178.159</web-allow>

  <!-- Client Control -->
  <fold-anon v='true'/>

  <!-- Folding Slot Configuration -->
  <gpu v='false'/>

  <!-- Slot Control -->
  <power v='full'/>

  <!-- User Information -->
  <passkey v='********************************************************'/>
  <team v='223518'/>
  <user v='JurgenMK'/>

  <!-- Folding Slots -->
  <slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
</config>
TL:DR:
how do I enable remote access via config, couldn't find it for the linux cli.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

I'd recommend updating the configuration to allow a subnet and add a password, like this:

<allow v='192.168.0.0/16 127.0.0.1'/>
<password v='CorrectHorseBatteryStaple'/>

Restart the FAHClient service on the Linux box. On the Windows computer, open FAHControl, click "add" in the bottom-left corner, put in the IP address of the Linux box and the password ("CorrectHorseBatteryStaple" in my example) and it should connect.
