Last updated 20th April, 2021.

Objective

This guide covers the usage of the ovhai CLI.

Requirements

• a working ovhai CLI how to install ovhai CLI

Instructions

Run a job

To submit a job you need a docker image and optionally some data.

First let's submit a simple job, a public ubuntu image which executes a command echo:

ovhai job run ubuntu --gpu 1 -- echo "Hello from my first job"

You can then list your current and old jobs with:

ovhai job list

You should see the job you just ran, you need its ID to get more information about it.

To see information about a job use the following command:

ovhai job get <job-id>

To see its logs in live use the following command:

ovhai job logs <job-id> --follow

You should see the output of the echo command:

Hello from my first job

Use data in your job

You can upload data to the Object Storage and mount that data when you run a job. If you mount that data with read/write it will be saved to the Object Storage when the job ends.

Let's upload some data and use it in a job that will produce more data.

ovhai data upload <region> <container> some-file.txt

Now that you have some data in a container you can mount it when you run a job with the flag --volume.

ovhai job run <image> --volume <container>@<region>:/data:rw

You can list and download data you uploaded or generated by a job with:

ovhai data list <region> <container>
ovhai data download <region> <container> --prefix /some-data

Synchronize data while a job is running

You can synchronize data to the Object Storage while a job is running with:

ovhai job push-data <job-id>

You can see the progress with:

ovhai job get <job-id>

Execute commands inside a running job

You can execute commands (like bash) while a job is running.

ovhai job exec -it <id> -- bash

This way you can interact with a running job.

Run a job with ssh access

You can create a job with some ssh access:

ovhai job run -s ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub ovhcom/ai-training-fastai

Multiple -s arguments can be used to provide multiple SSH public keys.

Once the job is in RUNNING state, you can retrieve the sshUrl with:

ovhai job get <job-id>

Manage registries

You can list available registries with:

ovhai registry list

By default, you have access to public registries, and a shared registry scoped to your project. To add a private registry, use:

ovhai registry add <url>

You will be asked to type your credentials.

You can list the Names and URLs of the available regions with:
