Hello, everyone. I have two computers and I would like to use both of them to create my own personal render farm. That’s why I decided to use Flamenco. The problem is the fact that I can’t connect the worker computers to the manager to render a frame. I am pretty sure this requires shared storage, but I can’t map any network drive. ---

I personally use CGRU/Afanasy, which is a renderfarm manager too. I first ask, what OS are you using? I use Ubuntu 20.04 and use NFS which is mapped to my /mnt directory. I had a previous install of CGRU which used Samba but NFS is so much easier to setup. ---

I really don’t know. I tried watching some Youtube videos on how to do it, but Windows says “Windows requires a share to publish to. Please try another location.”. Am I missing something here? ---

Never mind I decided to read the thread one more time and it solved my problem. Thanks, @joseph. 👍
