The Good Karma Kit

A Docker Compose project to run on servers with spare CPU, RAM, and bandwidth to help the world.
Contribute your unused computing power to good causes.

Quickstart

Download docker-compose.yml into an empty directory
Edit the docker-compose.yml file to fill in the environment variables, or comment out any containers you don't want to run
mkdir data && docker-compose up
Finish setting up some projects through their respective web dashboards exposed on localhost (see below)

See the notes below for more info on each container, what it does, and what companies it's affiliated with.

Caveats

The nature of most of these containers is that you're contributing resources to the public or to specific causes running on the public internet. Unless otherwise specified or restricted to 127.0.0.1 in the compose file, all ports should be made available to the public internet. Make sure you understand the risks involved with exposing your machine to WAN. It may be worth running this in an isolated VM on an isolated subnet if it's on your home or corporate network.

Not all the containers are not-for-profit, some either reward you with cryptocurrency, or are affiliated for-profit entities. Each container is marked below with its non-profit/for-profit status.

If there are too many containers for your liking, the top-3 good-karma-earning/positively-impactful ones to run are:

⭐️ archivewarrior
⭐️ boinc
⭐️ tor

Autoupdater

watchtower
