Read the following steps carefully, as they are essential for getting BoincTasks M to work properly.
Install BOINC.
First of all you need to install BOINC.
Configure your computers with fixed IP addresses.
Next, assign fixed IP addresses to all the computers you want to connect.
The best way to do this is to set up fixed IP addresses in the router.
Most routers can assign IP addresses to devices using their MAC addresses.
Allow access to the BOINC client.
Since mobile devices generally do not have fixed IP addresses, allow all IP addresses on your local network to access the BOINC client.
To do so, we need to edit or create the cc_config.xml file
Windows: F:\ProgramData\BOINC
Linux: /var/lib/boinc
Mac: Open the Terminal:
cd /Library/Application Support/BOINC Data/
nano cc_config.xml
Paste <cc_config> below.
Create the cc_config.xml file if it’s not present.
Paste the following text, making sure to copy plain text.
<cc_config>
<options>
<allow_remote_gui_rpc>1</allow_remote_gui_rpc>
</options>
</cc_config>
Next, restart BOINC to apply the changes.
Windows: Log out and log back in.
Linux: In the terminal: /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart
Mac: Restart the computer.
Edit the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file.
Windows: F:\ProgramData\BOINC
Linux: /var/lib/boinc
Mac: Open the Terminal:
cd /Library/Application Support/BOINC Data/
nano gui_rpc_auth.cfg
Either copy the password string or type your own.
If you change the password you need to restart BOINC as shown above.
