FAHClient on headless Ubuntu Server

[playforvoices]

Hi folks,

I'm new to Folding@home. Currently, I use the FAHClient with the recent version on a headless Ubuntu 18.04 server machine.

On firewall, I've open the ports 7396 tcp and 36330 tcp for web client access and client communication. The client start to work properly but if he finished the job, he runs in idle mode and didn't load any new package from the folding server.

I have to stop and start the client. Then he starts to process a new package.

What's wrong here? Need the client an additional open port at the firewall? Or what is the correct way to configure the command line based client? I didn't found a good walkthrough for it.

Few use the client directly from the command line. It can be used that way, but as I recall from testing that mode a few years ago there are issues. Most of the support is a few pages on the folding site, and the help within the FAHClient software - FAHClient --help.

Perhaps better, and more supported, is to install FAHClient using the installer. It can then be configured to allow remote access. FAHControl can be running any any system running Linux, Windows or OS X with a display and be set up to control the install on the headless server.

Hi Joe,

thanks for your answer. I've installed the FAHClient on Windows and add the Ubuntu server to the configuration. He is displayed as online and waiting for WU's.
