Setting up a BOINC server ¶
Hardware ¶
For experimentation and debugging, you can use almost any computer as a BOINC server. Before deploying a project more widely, make sure that your server has adequate performance, availability, and security. Some factors:
Your Internet connection should have adequate performance and reliability. Your server must have a static IP address.
Your server should have good CPU speed(dual Xeon or Opteron), at least 2 GB of RAM, and at least 40 GB of free disk space. For a high-traffic project, use a machine with 8 GB of RAM or more, and 64-bit processors.
Do whatever you can to make it highly reliable (UPS power supply, RAID disk configuration, hot-swappable spares, temperature-controlled machine room, etc.).
Put it behind a firewall.
Make it secure; turn off any unneeded network services, especially those that use plaintext passwords (like FTP or Telnet).
Info on increasing capacity and reliability is here.
Another approach - which eliminates both hardware and software issues - is to deploy a BOINC server on the Amazon Elastic Computing Cloud.
Software ¶
There are several ways to deploy the BOINC server software:
The easiest way to set up a BOINC server is to use a BOINC server VM that we've created for that purpose, with all the necessary software already installed. You can run this virtual machine using the VMWare player and any Intel-based computer (Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X). If you take this approach, skip the rest of this page.
貌似,先准备硬件,然后安装BOINC server VM就可以了,BOINC server VM已经包含了所有需要的软件. |
