racetrack-client 2.9.1

CLI client tool for deploying workloads to Racetrack

Racetrack CLI client

racetrack-client is a CLI client tool for deploying and managing workloads in Racetrack.

Racetrack system allows to deploy jobs in a one step. It transforms your code to in-operation workloads, e.g. Kubernetes workloads. You write some code according to a set of coventions, you include the manifest file which explains the code, and you submit it to Racetrack. A short while after, the service calling your code is in operation.

Quickstart

# Install racetrack-client
python3 -m pip install --upgrade racetrack-client

# Set current remote
racetrack set remote https://racetrack.platform.example.com

# Log in
racetrack login T0k3n.g0es.H3r3

# Deploy a Job
racetrack deploy

Installation

Install racetrack-client using pip:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade racetrack-client

Python 3.8 (or higher) is required.

This will install racetrack CLI tool. Verify installation by running racetrack command.

Usage

Run racetrack --help to see usage.

Adding a remote

Assuming your Racetrack server is running on https://racetrack.platform.example.com/lifecycle, you can add this remote as an alias:

racetrack set alias my-dev https://racetrack.platform.example.com/lifecycle

Alias is a short, friendly name for the URL of your Racetrack server, which is also known as "remote". From now on, you can refer to your remote with an alias.

Switching remotes

Set your current remote with:

racetrack set remote my-dev

This will set up a "remote" context for later use.

Logging in

Log in to Racetrack with your user account (you can get your token from the Dashboard's profile page):

racetrack login T0k3n.g0es.H3r3

In case you're going to use a private repository, provide your git credentials so the job can be built from your code:

racetrack set credentials https://github.com/YourUser/YourRepository USERNAME TOKEN

Installing plugins

Extend Racetrack's possibilities by installing a bunch of plugins:

# This plugin allows you to deploy jobs written in Python
racetrack plugin install github.com/TheRacetrack/plugin-python-job-type

# This plugin allows you to deploy jobs to a local Docker infrastructure
racetrack plugin install github.com/TheRacetrack/plugin-docker-infrastructure

Plugins can only be installed by admin users.

Deploying a job

When your code is ready and you pushed your changes to a repository, it's time to deploy it; that means, upload it to Racetrack so it can become a proper running Job.

To deploy a job, just run it in the place where job.yaml is located:

cd MuffinDestroyer
racetrack deploy 

You will see the URL of your deployed job in the output.

Listing jobs

You can see the list of all deployed jobs with a command:

racetrack list

Checking runtime logs

Check the logs of a running job by means of:

racetrack logs MuffinDestroyer

Deleting a job

Delete your running job with:

racetrack delete MuffinDestroyer
