I have successfuly setup a DRBL based DVD::RIP cluster to encde my DVD collection, and it works great. The problem is it works too well, and I now have a nice 10 machine cluster sitting doing nothing, and I was hoping to use those spare CPU's to do some BOINC of Folding@Home work.
I have tried everywhere to find a detailed explanation on how to do this properly, i.e. to PXE boot the nodes (headless and diskless) and run the boinc client automatically, without success.
I note the DRBL Live CD has a BOINC client included. How can I add the same functionality tot a normal DRBL server?
In addition to my question above, I find that when I ssh into my nodes (Ubuntu 8.04), that I cannot use sudo (user_name is not in sudoers?). When I check with:
groups username
I only get the local account, not admin etc. I have seen a previous post about editing the client /etc/sudoer file, but I find that I cannot do so unless I become a member of the sudoers.
I have copied the server sudoer and group folder over to the node image, but that did not help either.
I would appreciate any assistance that can be provided with the above.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yes, there is a script called /opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-live-boinc. Basically it's used in DRBL live to reads BOINC account or WCG (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/) account setting.
The file is located in client's /etc/drbl/boinc-url-authkey.conf, and it's format is like:
# URL Authorized_key http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org YOUR_KEY
You can find your key in WCG or boinc's profile.
So what you can do now:
1. Install boinc in drbl server, then run "/opt/drbl/sbin/drblpush -i" again.
2. Modify /opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-live-boinc in your DRBL server, I think you just comment this line (The one I mentioned is testing DRBL 1.9.1-18, which improves some functions about DRBL with BOINC):
-----------------
drbl-live.sh --skip-pause-in-the-end start
-----------------
and the rest should be able to be reused.
3. Boot your clients, and it should be ready to run the job you assigned in your BOINC server or WCG account.
