Hello,
I'd like to install the FAHClient in a Raspberry pi to watch and monitorize a few machines that I have running.
Is there a way to install it?
Thank you very much

Re: FAHControl at Raspberry pi
Nice idea. I think you only need FAHControl, which is written in Python. So it should be possible to port the Linux (x64) package to Raspbian (ARM) -- unless there is some component that prevents it.
I'm not familiar with the innards, though. I think the source is now available on Github.

Re: FAHControl at Raspberry pi
There is also a document on GitHub that discusses the API, so you could create your own interface to run on another system to manage/monitor the F@h client remotely. One person I am aware of did that for iOS, look for FahMM.

Re: FAHControl at Raspberry pi
Not useless at all: very good info when the next person (here or on the Pi forum) demands a Pi folding client.
Much better than the normal "Pis aren't powerful enough for Folding", which I've had to say too often.
Thanks for trying it!

Re: FAHControl at Raspberry pi
Hello! I tried this, but it tells me that it is "E: Unable to locate package python-gtk2".
I'm running "Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-1022-raspi aarch64)"
I think that with version 20.04 Ubuntu has deprecated python2 and uses python3 (currently 3.8) as the default, and so python-gtk2 (which depended on python2.7) has been obsoleted.
Other than downgrading my Ubuntu version, is there a known solution?

Re: FAHControl at Raspberry pi
For Ubuntu-like operating systems, the last compatible OS for FAHControl is 18.04 (supported until 2023).
Get the Arm64 18.04.4 image for Raspberry pi here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi
