How to Upload and Download Data
You can upload your datasets to the Platform using Neuro CLI. Neuro CLI supports basic file system operations for copying and moving files to and from the platform storage.
From your terminal or command prompt, change to the directory containing your dataset, and run:
neuro cp -r data/ storage:data/
The URI storage:data/
indicates that the destination is the platform. In a similar fashion,
neuro cp -r storage:data/ data/
downloads dataset to your current directory locally.
You can access your dataset from within a container by giving --volume storage:data/:/var/storage/data/:rw
to neuro run
as a parameter when starting a new job.
If your aim is to download or upload data from external system, be it AWS S3 bucket, or Azure Blob Storage, checkout our extras package usage.
How to Connect to a Running Job
To work with your dataset from within a container, to troubleshoot a model, or to get shell access to a GPU instance, you can execute a command shell within a running job in interactive mode.
To do so, copy the job id of a running job (you can run neuro ps
to see the list), and run:
neuro exec <job-id or job-name> bash
For example,
neuro exec training bash
This command starts bash within the running job and connects your terminal to it.
How to Run a Job in a Custom Environment
Assuming you have a local Docker image named helloworld
built on your local machine, you can push it to the Neuro Platform by running:
neuro push helloworld
After that, you can start the job by running:
neuro run image:helloworld
How to Kill All Running Jobs
To kill all jobs that are currently running on your behalf, run the following command:
neuro kill `neuro -q ps -o <user>`
For example,
neuro kill `neuro -q ps -o mariyadavydova`
How to Run Two or More Commands In a Job
Sometimes you want to execute two or three commands in a job without having to connect to it. For example, you may want to change the working directory and to run training. To achieve this, you need to wrap your commands in ”bash -c ‘<commands>’”
call, like this:
"bash -c 'cd /project && python mnist/train.py'"
How to Get Output from a Running Job
There are two ways to get the output of your running job:
Run it without the
--detach
option.Connect to a running job output with
neuro log <JOB>
, where JOB is either the id or the name of your job.
In some cases, Python caches the output of the scripts, so that you won’t get any output until the job finishes. To overcome this problem, provide -u
option to python
, like this:
"bash -c 'cd /project && python -u mnist/train.py'"
