I wouldn't run BOINC on a VPS. Most AUPs ban the use of programs designed to use 100% CPU (a.k.a. programs like BOINC). You should probably double-check if your VPS is ok with that.

Hey! Thx for adding a relay ;) About my vps relay, there's a webserver running behind with munin to monitor/graph everything. (only my home IP is able to connect to this webserver) CPU is not used 100% all the time, so there is Boinc running behind to help worldcommunitygrid.org against cancer, ebola, zika...
This vps is helping for Tor network (human rights and freedom)(sharing network) + human health at same time (sharing cpu) Server is now 95% used for some good things on my opinion.
I think those softwares running behind are safe? and are not against Tor security?
Having a little owncloud for you on your vps can't be a bad on my opinion, if you always update softwares and OS... If I'm not wrong, an admin will always say 1 task = 1 server...
Other notices are welcome ;)
Hi,
I'm planning to get myself a small VPS for simple things like calendar-synching and backup of important data. Since these things are very light on resource-usage, I thought about putting a tor relay (non-exit) on the server, so it does something useful instead of idling most of the time.
Is this advisable, or are there reasons why I shouldn't put a relay on a server that is used simultaneously by other things?
Thanks for your advice!
