# Folding@home Binding
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Binding for the [Folding@home](https://folding.stanford.edu/) distributed computing
|
||
|
|
software.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This binding can control multiple Folding@home clients and slots, using the TCP
|
||
|
|
interface.
|
||
|
|
Clients are modeled as bridges, and support adding any number of slots
|
||
|
|
(though, usually CPU and GPU).
|
||
|
|
The binding provides control over Run / Pause and Finish.
|
||
|
|
It polls for the status of the client, updates the run / pause state, and
|
||
|
|
provides a basic description of the slot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The clients must be added manually in the Paper UI, but the slots for that
|
||
|
|
client will then appear using auto-discovery.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Requirements (network access to F@H)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Folding@home TCP interface is enabled only on localhost by default, without
|
||
|
|
a password.
|
||
|
|
In order to allow control of Folding on other machines than the one
|
||
|
|
running openHAB, it is necessary to configure the Folding client to accept commands
|
||
|
|
from a non-localhost address.
|
||
|
|
Here is how to do it in the FAHControl application:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Open FAHControl on the client to be added
|
||
|
|
- Click on Configure, then the Remote Access tab
|
||
|
|
- Enter a password twice (invent one)
|
||
|
|
- Locate the Allow box under IP Address Restrictions
|
||
|
|
- Append a space and the IP address of the machine running openHAB to the text in that box, so it reads something like `127.0.0.1 192.168.1.2`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should now have access to the client, configure it using the password and
|
||
|
|
IP address in the manual thing configuration interface.
