New install of FAH client on Ubuntu -- idle ??

[CinciRyan]

Hello! I'm a newb at installing FAH outside of Home Assistant, but decided to stand up another machine in a Proxmox LXC.
I finally got it running, with the help of a script that I found that fixes the dependencies.
The client starts, but it's not doing anything .. just sitting there.
I've looked at my DNS servers, and it hasn't even tried to talk.
I've stopped and started the client a number of times, but nothing.
I've had tail -f running against the log, but this is as far as it ever gets.
OS is Ubuntu 25.04

I'm expecting it's something wrong in my config file, but the service starts and runs, so I don't know what I have wrong. I have taken pieces parts from different posts that I've seen, so perhaps something is formatted wrong.

<config>

<checkpoint v='10'/>
<cpu-usage v='100'/>

<!-- Client Control

<fold-anon v='false'/>

<!-- Folding Slot Configuration -->

Thanks for taking a look and helping out.

v8 does not start folding automatically on first run.

Assuming this is a headless install, you should make a web control account and add account-token to config.xml

[calxalot]

https://foldingathome.org/guides/v8-4-client-guide/

https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-cl ... ssions/214

[calxalot]

Note that accounts are optional.

You can also use
fahctl fold

[muziqaz]

FAHclient does not see any GPUs in the system and CPUs are set to 0 by config.xml

[calxalot]

Your http-addresses needs to include 127.0.0.1:7396 for the client to be accessible to localhost.

[calxalot]

Any options exposed in web control, such as cpus, is stored in client.db after first-run.

You really only need account-token in config.xml for a headless client.

[calxalot]

You are currently not likely to get any work assigned with only 2 cpu cores.

[calxalot]

Last I saw, the Home Assistant foldinghathome module only works with v7.

[muziqaz]

You are currently not likely to get any work assigned with only 2 cpu cores.

config.xml shows it has been configured for zero CPUs

[calxalot]

Out of a max 2, which might be due to the container
