(repost) Alternatives to Boincview on Linux

(1/2) > >>

I recently switched from Windows to Linux and I miss Boincview for managing my little farm of Seti computers. Boinc manager functions, but it can manage only one computer at a time, and I really need "at a glance" view. I tried Boincview with Wine, but it is a slow application as is (even native in Windows -- I am managing 20+ computers with it!), and it is too slow in emulation mode.

I am open to all suggestion, even in text mode :-)

I had the same problem many moons ago. I ended up using boincphpgui from here
You'll need a machine running http and php for it to run.
If you can hack php its real easy to modify, I added a simple front page to it similar to boincviews work page.

This looks promising.  Getting Apache and PHP working on my Ubuntu box will be a walk in a park. I know nothing, however, about PHP language.

In any case, the projects looks a bit old.  Have you had any issues connecting to new Boinc managers (5.8 and 5.10 versions)?

ajs:
yep, it hasn't been updated for a while, it could do with a makeover.
The newest boinc I use is 5.8.15 and it works fine with that.
I use it to monitor 40+ winXP & Linux machines across a WAN, its fast, its stable and it works  ;D

No need to miss BOINCview on Linux if you have Wine installed.

I use BOINCview v1.41, later versions are slower. I put the files in a folder name boincview in the home directory then added it to K Menu. In the command box I entered

wine '/home/discomgsvr/boincview/boincview.exe'

Its a little bit slower than on Bindows, expecially when adding or changing computers, apart from that it works fine.
