Project description

gcube CLI

Official command-line tool for the gcube AI GPU cloud platform. Manage GPU workloads, monitor resources, and stream container logs — all from your terminal.


Overview

gcube <service> <operation> [options]
Feature Description
Easy install pip install gcube-cli, Python 3.10+
AWS CLI style gcube <service> <operation> with --output table|json|yaml
Token auth Set your token from the gcube web console once, then use all commands
Key dependencies click · httpx · rich · pyyaml · websockets

Installation

pip install gcube-cli

Quick Start

# 1. Set your API token (copy from gcube web console)
gcube configure set --token "eyJ..."

# 2. Register a GPU workload
gcube workload register -f workload.yaml

# 3. Check status
gcube workload list

# 4. Stream logs
gcube workload logs <ser>

Configuration

Get a Token

  1. Log in to the gcube web console
  2. Go to API Token menu and copy your token
  3. Set it in the CLI:
gcube configure set --token "eyJ..."

Config File

Generated automatically at ~/.gcube/config.yaml:

platform_url: https://api.gcube.ai
ws_url: wss://console.gcube.ai:61443
auth:
  access_token: "eyJ..."
  expires_at: "2026-04-03T10:00:00Z"
output: table          # table | json | yaml

Configure Commands

gcube configure                              # Interactive setup
gcube configure set --token <token>          # Set API token
gcube configure set --platform-url <url>     # Set platform URL
gcube configure set --ws-url <url>           # Set WebSocket URL (for log streaming)
gcube configure set --output <format>        # Set default output format
gcube configure get <key>                    # Get a config value (token, platform-url, ws-url, output)
gcube configure status                       # Show current config and token validity

Environment Variables

Environment variables take precedence over the config file.

Variable Description
GCUBE_PLATFORM_URL Platform base URL
GCUBE_ACCESS_TOKEN Bearer token (useful for CI/CD)
GCUBE_OUTPUT Default output format (table|json|yaml)

Workload YAML Format (for register -f and update -f)

# workload.yaml
description: "My ML training job"  # required, 2-80 chars
cuda: "12020"                      # optional CUDA version code
sharedMemory: 1                    # GB

containers:
  - containerImage: "pytorch/pytorch:2.0"  # required
    repo: docker.io
    port: 0                        # 0 = auto-detect
    maxConnection: 4
    containerCommand: "python train.py"
    isCredential: false
    containerEnvs:
      - EPOCHS: "100"
      - BATCH_SIZE: "32"

gpuSpecs:
  - gpuCode: "029"                 # required — CODE from 'gcube gpu list'
  # add more entries for multiple replicas:
  # - gpuCode: "029"

Run gcube workload register --skeleton to print a blank template. Run gcube workload update <ser> --skeleton > workload.yaml to export the current config, then fill in gpuCode and pass it with -f.


GPU
