New install of FAH client on Ubuntu -- idle ??
Posted: Mon Jun 30, 2025 9:08 pm
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
Thanks for taking a look and helping out.
Regards,
Ryan

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.root@folding-at-home:/etc/fah-client# cat /var/log/fah-client/log.txt
