Dataset Management

baizectl supports managing datasets. Currently, it supports viewing the dataset list, making it convenient to quickly bind datasets during job training.

(base) jovyan@den-0:~$ baizectl data 
Management datasets

Usage:
  baizectl data [flags]
  baizectl data [command]

Aliases:
  data, dataset, datasets, envs, runtime-envs

Available Commands:
  ls          List datasets

Flags:
  -h, --help            help for data
  -o, --output string   Output format. One of: table, json, yaml (default "table")
      --page int        Page number (default 1)
      --page-size int   Page size (default -1)
      --search string   Search query
      --sort string     Sort order
      --truncate int    Truncate output to the given length, 0 means no truncation (default 50)

Use "baizectl data [command] --help" for more information about a command.

View Datasets

baizectl data supports viewing the datasets using the ls command. By default, it displays in table format, but users can specify the output format using the -o parameter.

(base) jovyan@den-0:~$ baizectl data ls
 NAME             TYPE  URI                                                    PHASE 
 fashion-mnist    GIT   https://gitee.com/samzong_lu/fashion-mnist.git         READY 
 sample-code      GIT   https://gitee.com/samzong_lu/training-sample-code....  READY 
 training-output  PVC   pvc://training-output                                  READY

When submitting a training job, you can specify the dataset using the -d or --datasets parameter, for example:

baizectl job submit --image release.daocloud.io/baize/baize-notebook:v0.5.0 \
    --datasets sample-code:/home/jovyan/code \
    -- sleep 1000

To mount multiple datasets simultaneously, you can use the following format:

baizectl job submit --image release.daocloud.io/baize/baize-notebook:v0.5.0 \
    --datasets sample-code:/home/jovyan/code fashion-mnist:/home/jovyan/data \
    -- sleep 1000

View Dependencies (Environment)

The environment runtime-env is a unique environment management capability of DCE. By decoupling the dependencies required for model development, training tasks, and inference, it offers a more flexible way to manage dependencies without the need to repeatedly build complex Docker images. You simply need to select the appropriate environment.

Additionally, runtime-env supports hot updates and dynamic upgrades, allowing you to update environment dependencies without rebuilding the image.

baizectl data supports viewing the environment list using the runtime-env command. By default, it displays in table format, but users can specify the output format using the -o parameter.

(base) jovyan@den-0:~$ baizectl data ls --runtime-env 
 NAME               TYPE   URI                                                    PHASE      
 fashion-mnist      GIT    https://gitee.com/samzong_lu/fashion-mnist.git         READY      
 sample-code        GIT    https://gitee.com/samzong_lu/training-sample-code....  READY      
 training-output    PVC    pvc://training-output                                  READY      
 tensorflow-sample  CONDA  conda://python?version=3.12.3                          PROCESSING

When submitting a training job, you can specify the environment using the --runtime-env parameter:

baizectl job submit --image release.daocloud.io/baize/baize-notebook:v0.5.0 \
    --runtime-env tensorflow-sample \
    -- sleep 1000

Advanced Usage

baizectl supports more advanced usage, such as generating auto-completion scripts, using specific clusters and namespaces, and using specific workspaces.

Generating Auto-Completion Scripts

baizectl completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/baizectl

The above command generates an auto-completion script for bash and saves it to the /etc/bash_completion.d/baizectl directory. You can load the auto-completion script by using source /etc/bash_completion.d/baizectl.

Using Specific Clusters and Namespaces

baizectl job ls --cluster my-cluster --namespace my-namespace

This command will list all jobs in the my-namespace namespace within the my-cluster cluster.

Using Specific Workspaces

baizectl job ls --workspace 123

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Question: Why can't I connect to the server?

    Solution: Check if the --server parameter is set correctly and ensure that the network connection is stable. If the server uses a self-signed certificate, you can use --skip-tls-verify to skip TLS certificate verification.

  • Question: How can I resolve insufficient permissions issues?

    Solution: Ensure that you are using the correct --token parameter to log in and check if the current user has the necessary permissions for the operation.

  • Question: Why can't I list the datasets?

    Solution: Check if the namespace and workspace are set correctly and ensure that the current user has permission to access these resources.
