Overview

milatools

The milatools package provides the mila command, which is meant to help with connecting to and interacting with the Mila cluster.

Install

Requires Python >= 3.8

pip install git+git://github.com/mila-iqia/milatools.git

After installing milatools, start with mila init:

mila init

Commands

mila init

Set up your access to the mila cluster interactively. Have your username and password ready!

Set up your SSH config for easy connection with ssh mila
Set up your public key if you don't already have them
Copy your public key over to the cluster for passwordless auth
Set up a public key on the login node to enable ssh into compute nodes

mila code

Connect a VSCode instance to a compute node. mila code first allocates a compute node using slurm (you can pass slurm options as well), and then calls the code command with the appropriate options to start a remote coding session on the allocated node.

You can simply Ctrl+C the process to end the session.

usage: mila code [-h] PATH ...

positional arguments:
  PATH
  SLURM_OPTS

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

For example:

mila code path/to/my/experiment

Feature request: support VSCode Insiders edition
I'd like to open a ssh connection to a compute node in VSCode Insiders, rather than VSCode (that is, I think as simple as using cli command code-insiders rather than code). From what I can tell, there isn't currently a way to do this, as running

mila code $PATH_ON_CLUSTER

will salloc a node $NODE_NAME, and try to connect with it using the command code -nw --remote ssh-remote+$NODE_NAME $PATH_ON_CLUSTER. I'd like to have the option to use code-insiders ... instead.

To enable this is I think as simple as modifying "code", -> "code-insiders", in milatools/cli/__main__.py (line 277) https://github.com/mila-iqia/milatools/blob/b4c52579391f7674d88a8039eddc1bf8a7cca8f1/milatools/cli/main.py#L276-L280

But ideally, I'd be able to do this with a different command, like

mila code-insiders $PATH_ON_CLUSTER

Is there a reason why this isn't a good idea?

Could not establish connection to compute node (Could not resolve hostname error)

Hello, I am using the mila code command to establish a remote ssh connection with VSCode. It has worked without any problems in the past 3 weeks, but yesterday I started getting this error when running it.

The command I run from my terminal is: mila code <path_to_my_cluster_code> --alloc --cpus-per-task 4 --gres gpu:1 --time=0-3:00:00 --partition unkillable

The issue likely comes from mila code and not from the cluster or ssh because it works fine when I ssh directly without using mila code. Also, I tried setting up the ssh host manually on VSCode (by first getting an salloc on the cluster, then opening VSCode and manually adding the compute node I was given as new host (e.g. ssh -J mila <username>@<nodename>)) and this works perfectly.

The connection fails with the following log on VSCode:

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

command not found: `salloc`

$ mila code ~/ccai/github --alloc --gres=gpu:1 --mem=16G --partition=main
(local) $ ssh mila -fNMS /Users/victor/.ssh/sockets/milatools.mila
(mila) $ salloc --gres=gpu:1 --mem=16G --partition=main
# zsh:1: command not found: salloc
ERROR: Could not find the node name for the allocation

I think a way to solve this is by adding . /etc/profile at login before calling salloc but I don't really know why or what it does, I remember it as a quick fix
