Anyone consider running Boinc on their Firewalla Gold in a docker container?

  Is it this one?  boinc.berkeley.edu

   

  You shouldn't

  1. this will eat up your CPU and memory ... which likely slow down your network
  2. unless you know what this thing does, running it at the core of your network, is a risk

  Yes that's it, In my setup, I have two Firewalla Gold's, one as my main router, another one I use as the DMZ host off the main Firewalla Gold, I put new stuff I don't have a full understanding in that DMZ Firewalla, etc.  So thinking ok, this DMZ Firewalla isn't so busy, maybe I can use it for Boinc as well.

  Sounds good.  Please watch out for CPU/Disk usage, and make sure your docker images are well-pruned :)
