Hello, This may be of little interest to most, but just in case... I published docker images for the BOINC client and the boinccmd tool this week-end. This allows you to run BOINC within a container and leave your host machine clean of any leftover data, with (hopefuly) little overhead. Images are available at: - https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/laurentmalvert/docker-boinc/ - https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/laurentmalvert/docker-boinccmd/ The code and (sparse) documentation is available at: - https://github.com/laurent-malvert/docker-boinc - https://github.com/laurent-malvert/docker-boinccmd Feel free to break it apart and improve it, as it's probably a bit rough around the edges. For instance, without customization and depending on your docker configuration, you'll likely see a new host ID show up in your project stats everytime you recreate the container. That sort of stuff is fine for my use case, but may be off-putting for others I guess. |

Also, note that I created this under my namespace on both GitHub and the Docker Registry, but I'll be glad to create the required boinc namespace and/or transfer ownership if desired. |
