I've been thinking about getting a domain that hosts some instructions and also tracks stats at a more detailed level (is there an API for BOINC stats, or will it all be screen scraping?).
What would you folks think for a URL? peinsteinathome.org ? :)

There is This. It has links on the top right that goes into details. Basically the projects provide a data file in XML that you download. You'd need to merge them for each project.

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I also want to work on a set of scripts for care and feeding of BOINC on the Pis - local performance and stats tracking to get a good picture of machine health, etc. Also, I want to write a script that will blink out an indicator so you can tell which pi is which in a stack. My Pis aren't physically stacked sequentially for a number or reasons, but if the green LED blinks 5 times, I know it's # 5.
It would be awesome if we could build a suite of tools for einstein on pi!
I have three programs (Linux only out of the box) running as a cron job.
1. One program is on each Pi3. It checks the temperature and flashes an attached led mounted on the Pi's tunnel if the temp exceeds 52C (high limit set in the program so you can mofify this). It also sends email. You don't need a tunnel. Just a led, a resistor and pin it to a gpio and grnd pin on the Pi. If interested I can post here and provide pin outs and resistor rating for the led.
[EDIT] LEDs and LED holders can be obtained from Adafruit, and "others" I am sure.
2. I have a desktop cruncher which on occasion stops crunching. a Linux "top" shows no jobs crunching but everything else seems fine. I have not narrowed down the cause but I wrote a script that runs on a Linux node that checks every Linux box that cruches (Pis included) and if it finds a node "not" cruching sends email. I have lost a couple of days worth of credits due to the bad behavior of this one node. I can provide the entire script here if interested. It basically does: sshpass -p {user_password} ssh {user_name@node_name} ps -ae | grep einstein*
It then checks the result of "$?" You do need to "apt-get install sshpass" .
3. I also run a ping status check to all nodes to be sure they are up. Again if interested can provide code here if there is an interest.

There is a thing called a BlinkStick made by Adafruit that has an RGB led and plugs into a USB port. You can use Python to get it to trigger.
I went with a label maker and stick labels on them, even the naked ones, just stick it onto the USB ports.
I need something to monitor the farm so maybe the ping script would be useful. I had one of the new pi3's stop yesterday for no obvious reason.

Could not locate BlinkStick at adafruit but did find it else where. It is considerably more expensive then one LED and resistor. The LED/resistor is controlled by a python script running as a cronjob.
Is the Raspberry Pi 7 Touch Screen LCD display compatible only with the Rasparian OS or will others, like Unbuntu Mate work with it also? Yes I note that the page link says Raspian but thought I would inquire into the possibility that other OS' might also work.

It seems to work with Ubuntu Mate according to this thread.
