Nosana CLI

The Nosana CLI is a command-line tool for interacting with the Nosana Network, enabling users to post jobs to the network or run a Nosana Node seamlessly.

Start a Nosana Node

To get started with your Nosana Node on the Nosana Grid, you can run a node after you've installed the prerequisites with the following command:

nosana node start [options]

Options:

  --provider <provider>     provider used to run the job (choices: "docker", "podman", default: "podman")
  -w, --wallet <wallet>     path to wallet private key (default: "~/.nosana/nosana_key.json")
  --docker, --podman <URI>  Podman/Docker connection URI (default: "http://localhost:8080")
  -h, --help                display help for command

Starting node

With the nosana node start [options] command you can start a Nosana Node and join the Nosana Network.

  --provider <provider>     provider used to run the job (choices: "docker", "podman", default: "podman")
  -w, --wallet <wallet>     path to wallet private key (default: "~/.nosana/nosana_key.json")

Posting jobs

With the nosana job post [options] [command...] command you can post nosana jobs to the Nosana Network. The default job type is container, meaning nodes will run your job in docker containers.

Example

The following command will run echo hello world with the default ubuntu docker image (can be changed with the --image flag), while we specify the --wait flag to wait for the results:

$ nosana job post echo hello world --wait

All available options for post:

--airdrop                request an airdrop when low on SOL on devnet (default: true)
--gpu                    enable GPU on node
-o, --output <path>      specify which folder inside the container you want to upload
--type <type>            type to run (default: "container")
-i, --image <image>      docker image to use (default: "ubuntu")
--f, --file <path>       file with the JSON flow
--wait                   wait for job to be completed and show result
--download               download external artifacts (implies --wait)
