    The FoldingAtHome script is ready for testing:

    bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVED/raw/main/ct/foldingathome.sh)"
    

    There is no local web interface. Manage the client from the Web Control at https://app.foldingathome.org/ once it is linked to your Folding@home account - the client's own port 7396 only listens on localhost.
    Linking needs the account token from Account Settings in the Web Control. If you skipped it, set it in /etc/fah-client/config.xml as and run systemctl restart fah-client. Generate a fresh token afterwards - only the newest token can add machines.
    A new client starts paused: press Fold in the Web Control. By default it leaves one of the container's cores free; the CPU count and which GPUs fold are set in the machine settings there.
    GPU folding needs GPU passthrough, which the script enables when the host has a GPU. Supported NVIDIA, AMD and some Intel GPUs then appear in the machine settings, where each has to be enabled.

    Note: This is not in the official repo yet—it's just a dev version! After merging into ProxmoxVE, it will need to be recreated.
