Running Stockfish on Cloud • page 1/1 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

Hello,
I have an AWS account with many credits. All I want is to run Stockfish on 64-core CPU on AWS EC2 Instance. But I want to use it on my local PC GUI. So anyone can tell me how should I setup everything. I already have installed Stockfish on my AWS Instance but can't find the way to use it for analysis on my local PC.

I also would like to know about how to link local computing resources to cloud resources like that, and this question could be a tangible entry point, being precise and limited in scope. from there, it would be easier to uncover other ways etc.... I am also interested in that question specifically. I have nothing to offer to help the op, but i (Commander Sheperd) approve of this project and op question. there that should help you get loads of good replies. no thanks needed, i am humble that way....

I don't know much about AWS specifically, but in general if you want to run a chess engine on a remote computer, you set up a script to run the engine with the parameters you want on the remote computer, and then put a command to run that script remotely in place of the engine in your local interface program.
ie. with xboard and a system that you can secure shell to, it might be
xboard -fcp "ssh mycloud.com runstockfish.sh"
Where mycloud.com is the remote computer and runstockfish.sh is the shell script that runs stockfish.
