you can install it and even add the ability to run it from GUI.

Could you please elaborate on how this is done in broad steps?

I meant that apart from folding@home there are many inherently CPU projects where performance will not be so catastrophically low.

.

I already have multiple hosts running this project so I'd like to stick with it and not another.

I'd rather consider to virtualize OPNsense, then you can use the free hardware resources in any way you want for other VMs or containers.

Thanks. I'd prefer to stay with a bare metal build.

As I remember it's a GPU-based project. And CPU will have extremely low speed of analyzing or checking jobs. Maybe you should choose a CPU-based project?  But yes, you can install it and even add the ability to run it from GUI.

IIRC, the MAC/Linux version is CPU only possibly due to CUDA reliance.

Hi all,
At home, I have an old i3 Intel NUC that I want to re-purpose as an OPNsense firewall. Since this firewall will be mostly idle, I'd like to install a Folding@home client through the shell. Has anyone tried this or in general is there a method to install third-party software?

Kind regards
Dave
