Spotty Commands

(!) This documentation is now outdated. The latest one is available here.

Available commands:

• $ spotty start

  Runs a Spot Instance, synchronizes the project with that instance and starts a Docker container.

• $ spotty stop

  Terminates the running instance and creates snapshots of the attached volumes.

• $ spotty run <SCRIPT_NAME> [--session-name <SESSION_NAME>]

  Runs a custom script inside the Docker container (see "scripts" section in Available Parameters).

  Use Crtl + b, then d combination of keys to be detached from SSH session. The script will keep running. Call $ spotty run <SCRIPT_NAME> again to be reattached to the running script. Read more about tmux here: tmux Wiki.

  If you need to run the same script several times in parallel, use the --session-name parameter to specify different names for tmux sessions.

• $ spotty ssh [--host-os]

  Connects to the running Docker container or to the instance itself. Use the --host-os parameter to connect to the host OS instead of the Docker container.

• $ spotty sync

  Synchronizes the project with the running instance. First time it happens automatically once you start an instance, but you always can use this command to update the project if an instance is already running.

• $ spotty create-ami

  Creates AMI with NVIDIA Docker. You need to call this command only one time when you start using Spotty, then you can reuse created AMI for all your projects.

• $ spotty delete-ami

  Deletes an AMI that was created using the command above.

• $ spotty spot-prices [--instance-type <INSTANCE_TYPE>]

  Returns Spot Instance prices for particular instance type across all AWS regions. Results will be sorted by price.

All the commands have parameter --config that can be used to specify a path to configuration file. By default it's looking for a file spotty.yaml in the current working directory.
