Fork of - k8s supporting folding@home

This repository contains a dockerfile, a helm chart and also a simple Kubernetes configuration to get folding@home running on your own clusters.

I am currently running this using a simple deployment.yaml on Azure AKS-EE Kubernetes clusters on Intel NUCs and a Lenovo T15 Running Windows 11 Pro/Ent. My goal is to start with the simple case and add complexity.

ToDo

• Deploy/manage through Azure GitOps
• Deploy multiple pods to consume more resources
• Edit resources to max out a single pod
• Enable GPU - need MSFT to enable GPU passthrough for AKS-EE

Kubernetes

This version creates a deployment with resource limits and sets folding-powerlevel to "full" so beware. You can change user, team and powerlevel via environment variables but I hard coded it in the deployment.yaml file for now, feel free to Fold as my team.

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kvietmeier/k8s-supporting-folding-at-home/master/kubernetes/deployment.yaml

Deployment creates a LoadBalancer service and assigns an IP from the address pool -

Helm (untested/draft)

This deploys a daemonset via helm with folding-powerlevel set to medium. You can add resource limitation and change other settings via values files like with every other helm chart.

git clone https://github.com/wind0r/k8s-supporting-folding-at-home.git
helm install folding ./k8s-supporting-folding-at-home/helm

Settings

• USER: user name, defaults to "Anonymous"
• TEAM: team ID, defaults to "0"
• PASSKEY: optional, get one here: https://apps.foldingathome.org/getpasskey
• POWER: "light", "medium", or "full"
