BOINC

BOINC lets you contribute computing power on your home PC to projects doing research in many scientific areas. You can contribute to a single project, or to any combination of them. To install BOINC on NixOS, Add this to your configuration.nix:

services.boinc = {
  enable = true;
  dataDir = "/var/lib/boinc";    # default location where data is stored
};

Then to open the BOINC Manager, you can run the command boincmgr.
