Docker or virtualbox?

[hucker75]

The docker installation page says "If I use virtualbox for something other than Boinc, don't install docker". I don't, but I do use virtualbox for LHC in Boinc. So do I install docker and remove virtualbox? Will LHC use docker instead?

Doesn't seem to work anyway, I followed the instructions at https://github.com/BOINC/boinc-buda-runner-wsl?tab=readme-ov-file

And I get this in Boinc:

04/06/2025 16:34:53 | | Docker detection in Ubuntu:
04/06/2025 16:34:53 | | - cmd: podman --version
04/06/2025 16:34:53 | | - output: /bin/bash: line 1: podman: command not found
04/06/2025 16:34:53 | | Docker detection in Ubuntu:

04/06/2025 16:34:53 | | - output: /bin/bash: line 1: docker: command not found

Yet in windows terminal:

wsl.exe -d boinc-buda-runner
Ryzen:/mnt/c/Users/peter$ podman --version
podman version 5.3.2

It seems LHC don't do buda?

From my LHC account: "Virtualization None"
From Boinc: "Message from server: VirtualBox is not installed"

I know they have BUDA tasks on their alpha server. I know nothing about their production server. Better to ask on their forum instead.

[hucker75]

I don't know where this elusive alpha server is, all mentions of it are from 15 years ago when it was dormant. I'll see if any of them will tell me. I take it BUDA is more efficient and reliable? Virtual box is always getting bogged down with dead tasks and needs manual cleanups.

It tells me I have not agreed to their terms of use, yet I cannot find anything to agree to, on Opera or Edge.
Also I need an invitation code - I've emailed Ivan....
Any other projects I can get BUDA tasks from?
