We need beta testers to try out these new instructions for creating a preconfigured BOINC server in the Amazon cloud in five minutes. https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/CloudServer Cool idea, I will try to take a look. Just to mention since its related, but I built a Docker application which runs a BOINC server (see here). This is in fact how we currently run Cosmology@Home. It's in the category of "making running a server easier", and also you can run Docker on AWS, so in fact its doubly related! A quick glance looks like what you've done is based on a VM. Would you be interested in collaborating to make it use Docker instead? Then setting up the server can happen in 5 min on the cloud or on a local computer, or even go from one to the other.

Searching for BOINC, on the other hand, returns a Linux BOINC - ami-0c24bd3c* and a WindowsBOINC - ami-dc25bcec. Are these latter ones the replacements for the former original one, or totally unrelated? Thanks Tuna ID: 66337 ·

After that, I gave up and closed down shop... Tuna ID: 66338 ·
