Helm Chart for Folding@Home Client (FAHClient)
Install Folding@Home on Kubernetes
Learned about the Folding@Home initiative during the COVID-19 crisis.
Companies, enterprises and individuals can donate their compute capacity that is available inside their Kubernetes clusters to foldingathome.org.
- Make use of
StatefulSetwith Persistent Volumes so that compute capacity does not get lost when being rescheduled on other nodes. This fits for example the design pattern of using Spot Instances in AWS EKS. - Horizontal Pod Autoscaling
- Vertical Pod Autoscaling

Q: I want to stop folding but don't want work to be lost, what do I need to do?
A: Assuming you have the pods running in a separate namespace where no other pods reside:
kubectl get pods -n <yournamespace> | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -I{} kubectl exec {} -- /usr/bin/FAHClient --send-command shutdown.
Q: How do I set up persistent storage for my cluster quickly?
A: Setup an NFS server in your network or leverage an existing one and setup nfs-client-provisioner.
