web client showing no machines after installing 8.3.18

[randoPrime]

I think a fresh uninstall/reinstall is warranted, but would that invalidate the data I have just posted?

[calxalot]

This should not happen. May you were running a very old v7?

Any way.
Please run the uninstaller at
https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-cl ... r/releases

Use Activity Monitor to verify that the is nothing fah running.
Activity Monitor menu View > All Processes
Search for fah

Uninstaller does not remove data.

Problem is config.xml
<allow v='192.168.0/24'/>

Remove that line.

Or from v7 FAHControl, change to
127.0.0.1

I ran the uninstaller at the link you provided, FAH is no longer running in activity monitor and nothing shows when searching fah. also the v7 web app stopped responding with message, "Folding@home Web Control was reopened in your browser in another window or tab. This instance has been halted."

do I try reinstalling v8 now?

[calxalot]

Fix the allow entry first.
You may need to copy the file somewhere so you can edit it.
Then copy it back, overwriting the old one.
The v8 installer will fix ownership for you.

duplicated xml file to desktop, removed line as requested. reinstalled v8. now it is working, even running in Safari. Thank you for your help, and thank you everyone else who helped as well. Also thank you for dealing with my ineptitude!

[calxalot]

Glad I could help.
Note that Safari cannot directly connect to the local client. It works fine for any clients linked to your account.

Noted, thank you!

Now, the only thing which could make today even better is if there were a way to make a Siri shortcut the automatically change the number of cores used for folding from 1 to 10 based on when I leave my house...

[calxalot]

If your Siri shortcut can run terminal commands, then you can do it with

I need to fix a bug in lufah caused by a new release of the websocket lib I chose. I’ll try to do that tonight. Workaround is to use install and use uv.

You might instead want to use the built-in on idle feature.

On macOS, idle is when the screen is blanked by system or when loginwindow is showing.

This would be for on an iPhone, not sure if that changes practicality lol

[calxalot]

Hmm. Well lufah can run on iPhone via a-shell. Don’t know if that is scriptable.

I am also prepared to adjust it manually via the web app on my phone now that they can talk. Thank you again!
