About

Datalayer provides a command line tool allowing to list,
create, terminate and open a console against a Remote Kernel.

tip

You can use dla or even d as shortcut, instead of datalayer if you prefer.

All command lines support an option --run-url to set the URL of the Datalayer RUN cluster providing the Remote Kernel services.

datalayer kernels list --run-url https://oss.datalayer.run

Alternatively, you can set environment variables to avoid adding the params to every command.

export DATALAYER_RUN_URL="https://oss.datalayer.run"
export DATALAYER_TOKEN="MY_TOKEN"
export DATALAYER_EXTERNAL_TOKEN="MY_EXTERNAL_TOKEN"
datalayer kernels list

We also made it easy for you to get the values. Go to the action menu of the kernel and select the Copy terminal command line action. This will copy in your clipboard the command to run from CLI.

Authentication

Before login, you should have a valid account. You can join Datalayer via 3 ways:

  • A Username and Password.
  • A Token. This can be a Datalayer Token, or an external one in case of integration with an external provider.
  • GitHub authentication.

Currently, the CLI login only supports the first two methods.

To login, you can use the following command:

datalayer login

By default, this command will open a new tab in your web browser to authenticate you. Once authenticated, you can close your browser.

note

If your cached credentials are obsolete, you will be prompted to log in when you run any of the command lines explained in the rest of this page.

If you have a Token, you can use it to authenticate via the Web page.

If you prefer not to use your web browser, you can add the --no-browser option to any command:

When using the --no-browser option, you will be prompted to either:

  • Provide a username and password.
  • Provide a token.
datalayer login --no-browser --run-url=...
? How do you want to log in? (Use arrow keys)
» Username/Password
Token

Once authenticated, you can ask details about your profile.

If you are using a token for authentification, you can also use the --token option to provide the token directly in any command.

datalayer envs list --token TOKEN --run-url RUN_URL

You can logout at any time.

Terminate a Remote Kernel

Use datalayer kernels terminate KERNEL_ID.

datalayer kernels terminate jupyter-01j2ks4xzbr0vwe8zfzcv5ksm2

[KernelTerminateApp] Kernel 'jupyter-01j2ks4xzbr0vwe8zfzcv5ksm2' deleted.

Execute Code in a Console

Use datalayer kernels console --kernel KERNEL_ID

datalayer kernels console --kernel jupyter-01j2krcmskpye0sn0nv9a7afhp

The Kernel ID is optional. If not provided, it will take the first Remote Kernel found.

warning

To keep the Kernel alive when you exit the console, use CTRL-D or quit(keep_kernel=True).

Execute a File or a Notebook

Use datalayer kernels exec FILE_PATH with the following command options:

  • --kernel-id: Kernel ID of the Remote Kernel to use.
  • --raise: Stop the execution one an exception occurred. By default, all cells of the notebook will be executed even if one cell fails.
  • --timeout seconds
  • --verbose: Display all cell outputs. By default, only cell outputs targeting the error stream will be displayed.
cat > hello.py <<EOF
print('👋 Hello from Kernel')
EOF
datalayer kernels exec hello.py --kernel jupyter-01j2krcmskpye0sn0nv9a7afhp
rm hello.py
