Sheep-It Agent

A optimized and secured Sheep-It Render agent to add rendering power to the open Blender render cloud.

Instructions

You need your sheep-it account username and password to proceed:

docker run -d \
  --name "sheepit-agent" \
  -e SHEEPIT_USERNAME=XXXXXX \
  -e SHEEPIT_PASSWORD=YYYYYY \
  fkrauthan/sheepit:latest

To limit CPU you can use the native Docker resource limitations. For instance, to limit Sheepit to 50% of a 8-core CPU, use --cpus=4

To limit memory, you can use the environment variable SHEEPIT_MEMORY_LIMIT. E.g. -e SHEEPIT_MEMORY_LIMIT=4GB

To use GPU as a compute method set SHEEPIT_COMPUTE_METHOD. E.g. -e set SHEEPIT_COMPUTE_METHOD=GPU
