Docker tasks not pushed to clients

[Gramants]

Hi Marius,
Very nice your project!

I am struggling to have the task pushed to the clients
I am creating the task as per your example:

root@boincserver:~/project# bin/boinc2docker_create_work.py python:alpine python -c "print('Hello BOINC')"
Automatically setting memory allocation for job to 680MB.
Automatically setting disk allocation for job to 145MB.
Image already imported into BOINC. Reading existing info...
Creating input template for job...
workunit name: boinc2docker_18737_1626799878.359693

But seems that nothing is pushed into the client

I am using the app Android I downloaded 7.16.16.apk

And while the app is running correctly the Rosetta tasks (downloading and executing), adding my server url to the app, is always "WAITING FOR JOB"

as the server is not launching any jobs

in the server I have 42 jobs I created from command line, but the client is not downloading anything

boinc2docker: 42
Tasks ready to send: 42

in the download subdir in the server there are a lot of files already generated and ready to be picked up, very likely, but the client app is not reacting

Can you suggest me please what to do server side to push the jobs to the clients ecosystem?
Really appreciated!

Steven

Hey, thanks for the report. Do I understand correctly that your client is Android? If so, that won't work with boinc2docker, for those jobs you need a 64bit Linux/Mac/Windows OS with virtualization enabled in the bios.

Thanks for your reply, yes my client is Android and I am interested in getting task and jobs in my mobile phone, As I am doing for Rosetta in my mobile... So what boinc server should I run to have it working in Android? Just this server running in VM would work ? https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/VmServer : Do you think about any upgrade to the docker boinc server to have it working onto mobile clients? Or is it impossible in general by technical reason? Thank you very much. Steven

The problem isn't the BOINC server, you can still use this package. The problem are the jobs, they have to be specifically created for Android clients, and the types of jobs created by boinc2docker_create_work aren't compatible. You'll have to read the BOINC docs for how to create jobs for Android clients (I don't recall the link right now, sorry)

Ah , this is good to know, so potentially your very good docker project can be still valid with the proper jobs, to use with Android clients, if I have understood correctly
