Documentations from BOINC official wiki.

As a summary to help you running BOINC under several simple steps, you can do in this way,

  • sudo dnf install boinc-client boinc-manager
  • sudo systemctl start boinc-client.service
  • copy GUI RPC auth string from file /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg
  • mkdir boinc data directory at your favirouate place. I put it $HOME/boinc
  • go to the data directory, then issue boincmgr. Probably you prefer the CLI way, whatever, you can do in that way.
  • From menubar, Advanced -> Select Computer, enter 127.0.0.1 in 'Host name', and paste the GUI RPC into 'Password'.

So far, BOINC manager connects to the local boinc-client service. Everything is ready for taking part in your faviourate distributed computing projects. Have fun.
