[SOLVED] Help me install Sheepit container

[Thamer Alfuraiji]

Hi , I want to use this container on my server https://hub.docker.com/r/sheepitrenderfarm/client

The GUI version ( check the tags page )

- I tried to pull it from the community apps it did pull the whole thing but It couldn't start.

-I followed YouTube tutorials and I managed to run it and access the web-ui which is kinda a VNC interface ..

but the app didn't run nothing on the screen expect the top bar with a logo and a flull screen button and gave me an error message next to the logo " Server disconnected code 1006 "

can anyone help me install it and run it correctly also would be nice if some expert could pull this container and maybe make it available in the Community apps?

----------------------------

Sheepit is a free collaborative open render farms

it helps the Blender community to share their computers to the network as render nodes and they get credits to use the network to render their projects.

They have Windows/Mac/Linux/Docker versions

I answered this on reddit, but I'll add it here incase anyone else has the same issue.

 

Use the following settings in the docker container setup:

Name: sheepitrenderfarm

Icon URL : https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/903628649680822273/uX-KsdRC_400x400.jpg

Repository: sheepitrenderfarm/client:gui

WebUI: http://[IP]:[PORT:5800]/

 

You also need map the ports. Scroll to the bottom of the container config page and click"Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device"

 

Config type: Port

Name: WEBUI_PORT

Container Port: 5800

**Host Port : 5800

 

**Note check if any other containers are using port 5800. If they are, change the host port to 5801 or something else that isn't being used. You do not need to update the WebUI field if you change the host port.

Hope this helps
