--power argument seems to be ignored

[dkbnz]

While trying to set the power level using the environment var POWER, It seems to be ignored.

My compose file:

version: "2.4"

networks:
  proxy:
    external: true

services:

  folding-at-home:
    image: yurinnick/folding-at-home
    container_name: folding-at-home
    networks:
      - proxy
    command: ["--allow=0/0", "--web-allow=0/0"] # Allow connections from non-localhost ip addresses
    volumes:
      - ~/homelab_data/folding:/opt/fahclient/work
    environment:
      - USER=plateofash
      - TEAM=0
      - ENABLE_GPU=false
      - ENABLE_SMP=true
      - POWER=light
    restart: unless-stopped
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.folding-at-home.entrypoints=http"
      - "traefik.http.routers.folding-at-home.rule=Host(`folding.${DOMAIN}`)"
      - "traefik.http.services.folding-at-home.loadbalancer.server.port=7396"

However, after starting and analysing the logs, I see the power passed to FAHClient is "full"

05:01:54:       Args: --user=plateofash --team=0 --passkey= --gpu=false --smp=true
05:01:54:             --power=full --gui-enabled=false --allow=0/0 --web-allow=0/0

From within the container, the env variable is set.

folding@d40eac954e68:/opt/fahclient$ echo $POWER 
light

I've also tried with and without quotations.

If others are having this issue, the built in docker resource limitations work perfectly and is what I have resorted to.

Very weird. The entrypoint.sh file is very simple: https://github.com/yurinnick/folding-at-home-docker/blob/master/entrypoint.sh If POWER is ignored, I'd imagine USER to be ignored, too, but yours is well present...

[dkbnz]

Yeap, I expected the same. I wonder if it's an issue with FAHClient

I had the issue as well at one point, but my compose file looked fine. I'm using Portainer and noticed that it doesn't always seem to "take" changes to environment variables. Completely removing the existing Container and running the Compose file from scratch seemed to resolve it.
