FAQs

What about long training runs? Can I prevent auto-shutdown?

Yes, you can prevent auto-shutdown behavior with //keepalive, eg with ssh bitbop.io //keepalive 6h. Once enabled, you can safely log off your instance and it will remain running at least as long as selected. Check out the docs for more info!

Async job support, including multi-machine jobs, is in development.

Can I use notebooks like Jupyter?

Yes, port forwarding is supported and Jupyter comes pre-installed, so you'll be all set up to run notebooks!

How do I transfer files to/from my bitbop.io machine?

You can transfer files with scp, rsync, sshfs, or good ol' drag-n-drop in VSCode.

What files are persisted?

The entirety of your root filesystem will be persisted, just as if you were working on a personal, physical machine. So everything in / will be retained. (Note however that this doesn't apply to Free Trial machines.)

I'm getting a Permission denied (publickey) error. What gives?

bitbop.io supports RSA and Ed25519 keys. Check for files ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub, or similar. You'll need to have at least one keypair active and linked to your GitHub account.
