BOINC is now running on my Desktop PC and also on the 4 Raspberry Pi cluster nodes. So you might can imagine that it is not very comfortable to keep an overview on all running BOINC-clients. The BOINC Manager starts always a connection to to the local instance and you have to open and connect manually to all the instances running on the cluster nodes. While looking for a solution I found a tool called BoincTasks created by Fred Melgert. With BoincTask you manage multiple local or remote BOINC-client instances from a single computer. It supports an unlimited ammount of remote instance. Exactly what you need when you are running a Kubernetes BOINC cluster.
The BoincTasks GUI is adopted from the original BOINC manager. In addition, you can filter your instance or projects just like an Excel spreadsheet. You can also apply mass updates simultaneously to all of your instances. Beside the overview it is very handy that BoincTasks saves a history of your finished tasks which may help to optimize your performance. You should really give it a try. Thank you Fred for that great tool!
