There is an interesting idea from the LHC dev site - the BOINC client embedded in the VM.

a regular client receives and runs a task for Vbox.
VM - Linux with a specially configured client (for example, launch from root or installed additional software)
one nuance is to pass the user authentication key to the internal client before it starts

an additional host with a name defined in the VM appears in the user’s list, you just need to configure a separate "location" for such hosts with only native applications

not everyone managed to allow the export and get into the last dump.
probably you need to run some extraordinary dumps in order to avoid losing stats on external sites

can at the same time add "run only selected applications"?
in case the new application is launched

Any ideas?


only ideas, this is not practice

synchronization of users on different servers is required.
something like ~/rhosts, including for the database.

and delve into the stat dump script - find where the admin name is written there, it can be explicitly inside and not from the server config

if practical
it’s better to ask your colegs directly - they already "stepped on all this rake" ;-)
write Goofyx, Rebirther or Tomáš Brada
may be able to go to the admin Gaia@Home - he is also actively searching for problems with the server

The various links from within the BOINC manager (e.g. forum, account) are also no longer connecting to iThena, only the main project page does.

Something changed on the server last week. IE has stopped working with the site. Chrome works.
Perhaps this is the "Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics"?

I made a 1:1 base dump.
The database is identical.
The database hasn't changed anything.


two new options were activated - activated on the server, but not supported in the database.
the database still remained unchanged, but the server configuration changed.
two new interface options (agreement with the policy and permission to export) cannot find the necessary fields in the database

I’m not sure that these options (primarily the policy) can easily be “cleaned up” on the server to the old state - to match the database.

Post:
The structure of the database remained unchanged.


all new options that appeared on the server (= WEB interface) must be activated synchronously in the database.

for example, consent to export, agreement with the new policy, choice of applications, number of processors / tasks, separate accounting for applications / subprojects.

all these options activate part of the interface, but they also require support in the database (the presence of the necessary fields in the tables or new tables)

you _must_ change the database so that already activated options work (2 errors in the preference settings). similarly for all new options needed now and in the future

This idea will work well with the boinc client?

for the client test, new tasks on the server are needed (+ the ability to run them only by choice, otherwise they will immediately take it all apart)

I started the application manually with a fake input file.

PS. did not have time to save the real task for the experiments

Yes. The problem occurred after the database migration. But the database works...

There's probably a bug somewhere...

I'm trying to find the problem.

There may be a discrepancy between the database schema version and the server version
You can try to find and run the database update script from the upgrade kit, look for the part where all these bells and whistles with the new policy are added

one of the components of the new application requires running on behalf of the root

options:
1. run a boinc instance under root
2. " chown root tracebeat* " + " chmod u+s tracebeat "

in both cases, logs are created accessible only to the root, not for the boinc
52) Questions and Answers : Web site : Run only the selected applications (Message 287)
Posted 11 Feb 2020 by Sergey Kovalchuk
Post:
Project preferences
- Run only the selected applications + apps list
- accept work from other applications yes/no

Due to potential problems with root privileges, the new application can be installed disabled by default.
Those who want to experiment themselves will allow it in the options

PS. perhaps users need instructions to allow root privileges to a new application

and we need more tasks to complete this quest ;o)

- from January 1, 2020 we change credits per WU. Then credits must be adequate.

January 1 has passed ... what will be the new plans?

more interested in the mechanism of transition to a new system.
will it be a new application (subproject)?
Or will the application remain, only with a new "price"?

will there be other applications?

Post:
1) we design beta badges and set a fast deadline 2) we set beta badges and change the score. 3) later another bagde.


leave the current application with its almost zero credit system for beta
open _new_ application with a new credit system and new badges

this is where per_application_accounting (subprojects) should work
there are no total badges (credits are disproportionate), only separately for each sub-projects.
maybe a meaningful total will appear later - when there will be several balanced applications, and the beta will disappear within the rounding error

all accounts of all applications should be displayed on the user’s page (see the monkeys at Goofix or PrimeGrid)

I do not see a problem in giving badges ;)

in this case, you need another scale - nano-micro-mini badges ;o)

Post:
Maybe different ideas?

Do you need gradations for the beta phase?
When everyone has zero statistics, though for some this Zero is bigger :o)

For beta, it is enough to manually issue a badge once with the criterion yes / no
And leave bronze-silver-gold for each real application with non-zero statistics 1K-1M-1G (e.g. logo + "C-node" + stars)

Post:
Some such that it is known that these are badges for the initial stage ;)

you need to decide on the concept of different badges
- badge for old WUs with tiny credits (maybe alpha / beta stage)
- a line of badges for the standard gradation of earned credits (bronze / silver / gold, etc.)

it is necessary to determine the time boundary of these stages - when the initial stage ends and normal work begins.
what will be the fundamental difference?

[upd] are there any plans to launch various applications / subprojects?
Now is a good time to activate per_apps accounting and badges - so far everyone has (almost) zero balance

the application is declared as NCI, but reserves the CPU for itself.
maybe you need to assign an NCI status to the whole project
