%help
This container has a BOINC client for running things like SETI@home.
is a CentOS 7 with nvidia cuda runtime + BOINC client
 
Example for running boinc using this container:

singularity pull --name boinccmd.simg shub://tin6150/boinc-client
mkdir /tmp/boinc
singularity exec -B /tmp/boinc:/var/log,/tmp/boinc:/var/lib/boinc ./boinccmd.simg /usr/bin/boinc    --check_all_logins --redirectio --dir /var/lib/boinc &
singularity exec -B /tmp/boinc:/var/log,/tmp/boinc:/var/lib/boinc ./boinccmd.simg /usr/bin/boinccmd --get_state
cp -p /tmp/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg .
singularity exec -B /tmp/boinc:/var/log,/tmp/boinc:/var/lib/boinc ./boinccmd.simg /usr/bin/boinccmd --read_global_prefs_override   # this req working auth
# output will be directed to /tmp/boinc/stdoutdae.log 

singularity exec -B /tmp/boinc:/var/log,/tmp/boinc:/var/lib/boinc ./boinccmd.simg /bin/zsh
  /usr/bin/boinccmd --project_attach http://setiathome.berkeley.edu 824003_a8aa1de0c75802fc1651a1015133624f  # adjust to your own weak key
  /usr/bin/boinccmd --project_attach http://www.gpugrid.net         518173_5f7f1ae63651a14444ca08429fe16ae6  
  /usr/bin/boinccmd --set_run_mode always 86400 # 86400 seconds = 24 hours
  /usr/bin/boinccmd --set_gpu_mode always 86400 # 86400 seconds = 24 hours

# git log acac914 has more commands, including LD_LIBRARY_PATH setup needed inside the container, which seems to be oddly setup by nvidia?

%runscript
	echo "zsh from inside the container..."
	/bin/zsh
	# till find a way to run boinc for 1 work unit without going into daemon mode...
	# /opt/boinc/run_client
	# don't use the --daemon mode, should be good for running as batch job

	yum --setopt=tsflags=noscripts -y install boinc-client

	# boincmgr still require lots of GUI libs, like libnotify-devel
