Linux Debian F@H Terminal Client

[Xalogen]

Okay so I have it all set up and it runs perfectly but I wanted to know if there was a way like in the Windows client to be able to remotely connect the client to my main computer that I use to start and pause the F@H client from other computer nodes that I have around the house. I have already got my laptop connected as a client and I can control its client but I wanted to know as I've been trying to find a way to do it for my debian system here. It doesn't use a GUI and I run it headless so the remote access to the client on there would be helpful. Has anyone set something like that up yet or am I just going to have to monitor that one separately?

Welcome to the folding@home support forum Xalogen.

If your terminal client is on your same home network it's a matter of adding some IP addresses to it's config.xml file.

Look at your laptop's config.xml file in FAHClient's Data Directory.

You should see something like:

Code: Select all

  <!-- HTTP Server -->
  <allow v='127.0.0.1,192.168.2.100-192.168.2.149'/>

  <!-- Network -->
  <proxy v=':8080'/>

  <!-- Remote Command Server -->
  <command-allow-no-pass v='127.0.0.1,192.168.2.100-192.168.2.149'/>

Your IPs will most likely be different.

Just add the same lines that your laptop uses to the config.xml on your new remote and restart FAHClient on the remote. You should now be able to add that computer to FAHControl on your monitoring computer.

Thanks, that worked perfectly.
