Basically. I sometimes get paid to use energy when demand is really low.
I want to take full advantage of this and use as much power as possible. My energy provider has an API so I’m planning on checking if the price is less than 0p. Then starting a stress test to use energy.
What kind of stress tests can i stop and start easily?
I had a bit of a look after this and decided to do Folding@home. It seems the workloads start as soon as the docker container is started.
So I can easily check the API, if price < £0.00. Start docker.
if price > £0.00 stop docker.
Should be pretty easy to cobble together then.
That sounds like a much better use of the compute power.
Glad you found a workable solution!
