Dockerized FAHClient


License Docker Pulls Docker Image Size (tag) Docker Image CI

Folding@home (FAH or F@h) is a distributed computing project for simulating protein dynamics, including the process of protein folding and the movements of proteins implicated in a variety of diseases. It brings together citizen scientists who volunteer to run simulations of protein dynamics on their personal computers. Insights from this data are helping scientists to better understand biology, and providing new opportunities for developing therapeutics.

GPU Support

Since this image uses nvidia/cuda as it's base image, to use the GPU support, you'll need to have an NVIDIA GPU, and NVIDIA Container Toolkit installed on your system.

FAQ

Q: How can I use this with Docker Compose?

A: Well, you can use it with docker compose if you don't want the GPU support. This is because docker compose still doesn't have the a way to specify the --gpu flag, or atleast I wasn't able to figure it out. If you did, open a issue / send a PR with the docker-compose.yml file.

Logs

To get the logs of the running container
