Tasker

Remote job execution service built on gRPC.

• cgroup v2 isolation with configurable CPU, memory, and IO limits
• Mutual TLS authentication with role-based access

See docs/design.md for more details.

Requirements

• Linux with cgroup v2
• Go 1.26+
• Task (task runner)

Build

task build

Binaries go to bin/.

TLS

All taskerctl commands use -C to set the certificates directory (default: certs/).

# Create a CA
taskerctl cert ca

# Create a server cert
taskerctl cert server -n wolfpack1 -H localhost,127.0.0.1

# Create client certs
taskerctl cert client -u wolf -r admin

Usage

Start the server:

taskerctl server -n wolfpack1 -a :50051

Start a job:

taskerctl job -u wolf -a localhost:50051 start -- sleep 60

With resource limits:

taskerctl job -u wolf -a localhost:50051 start -c 0.5 -m 512 -d /dev/sda -r 100 -w 50 -- python3 ./tools/jobs/counter.py

Check on it:

taskerctl job -u wolf -a localhost:50051 get <id>

Attach to its output:

taskerctl job -u wolf -a localhost:50051 attach <id>

Stop it:

taskerctl job -u wolf -a localhost:50051 stop <id>
