BOINC - Server Notes
The current distribution of BOINC software in Debian has its focus on the client. There is a preliminary package also for the server side offered since late 2010, called boinc-server-maker. However we still need individuals to test that package and further smoothen the experience with it.
1. Instructions
Explicit instructions to get the skeleton of a BOINC package going with the boinc-server-make package are given on
It was seeded through Debian's participation in the 2010 Google Code-in (GCI) and is developed further thanks to the respective Google Summer of Code project in 2011.
2. References
This page is intended to help organising the development of the server package, for which also your help for all technical issues and beyond is much appreciated. For a start, this page gathers rather general information about setting up BOINC servers on Debian.

Instruction on how to start with the VMware virtual machine for BOINC that is prepared by the creators of BOINC. Our boinc-server-maker project shall be equivalent to that.

- Neat introduction to BOINC application development. It just fails to mention Debian a bit more frequently.
