Documentations from BOINC official wiki.
As a summary to help you running BOINC under several simple steps, you can do in this way,
sudo dnf install boinc-client boinc-manager
sudo systemctl start boinc-client.service
- copy GUI RPC auth string from file
/var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg
- mkdir boinc data directory at your favirouate place. I put it here
$HOME/boinc
- go to the data directory, then issue
boincmgr
. Probably you prefer the CLI way, whatever, you can do in that way. - From menubar, Advanced -> Select Computer, enter
127.0.0.1
in 'Host name', and paste the GUI RPC into 'Password'.
So far, BOINC manager connects to the local boinc-client service. Everything is ready for starting your faviourate network computing projects. Have fun.
