The Computing for COVID DigitalOcean Marketplace App is a way for anyone (no tech skills required) to fire up a cloud computer that immediately starts crunching data to help scientists find proteins for the treatment of COVID-19. Costs start at $15/mo for the compute power at DigitalOcean.

This allows you to support researchers at the University of Washington's [Baker Lab](https://www.bakerlab.org/) in their computational requirements as part of their [Coronavirus response](https://www.ipd.uw.edu/coronavirus/).

Once you’ve installed the droplet, it starts up, attaches itself to the [Rosetta@Home](https://boinc.bakerlab.org/) project as part of the [Computing for COVID team](https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/team_display.php?teamid=20117), and immediately starts to download work to be done.


## Setup
* Follow these [detailed setup instructions](https://computingforcovid.io/setup) to set up the droplet. We recommend opening the [link](https://computingforcovid.io/setup) in a separate browser tab as you go through the process.
* If you don’t have a DigitalOcean account, sign up using [this link](https://m.do.co/c/5fb69d9c62e4) to get a $100 credit

## Questions?
Send email to [help@computingforcovid.io](mailto:help@computingforcovid.io) and we'll do our best to help out. You can also [create an issue](https://github.com/ten7/computing-for-covid/issues/new) in the Github repo.

## Open source
The app is built using [Packer scripts](https://github.com/digitalocean/marketplace-partners) from DigitalOcean as a starting point. The scripts configure an Ubuntu 18.04 droplet with `boinc` that automatically attaches itself to the Rosetta@home project.

Build scripts are in the `/packer` directory: [https://github.com/ten7/computing-for-covid/tree/master/packer](https://github.com/ten7/computing-for-covid/tree/master/packer).
