Not sure if this is the right place to ask the question, but there doesn’t seem to be an “askgeeks” or something.

    Do you have a recipe or script or something? The docker image seems to assume you’re running it on your own computer and will be configuring it with some GUI? But I’m not going to install xfce on my server and RDP into it to get boinc running.

      You don’t need the GUI, the client does all the work. I use a Debian container, so just sudo apt-get install boinc-client.

      Once that’s installed, you go to the project (in my case, World Grid) and setup your account. As part of that, it will give you a URL and account key. Then back on your server, you use the boinccmd to --project_attach the URL and key.
