gotoni

Automate Lambda.ai with Ansible-inspired Go CLI

Installation

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/atoniolo76/gotoni/main/install.sh | bash

Setup

Export your Lambda API key:

export LAMBDA_API_KEY=your_token_here

Workflow

1. Launch an Instance (with Filesystem)

Launch an instance with a persistent filesystem attached. If the filesystem doesn't exist, it will be created. The --wait flag ensures the command polls until the instance is ready.

gotoni launch my-project \
  -t gpu_1x_a10 \
  --filesystem my-data \
  --wait

2. Open in IDE

Once launched, instantly open the remote workspace in your preferred IDE (defaults to Cursor).

Prerequisite: Ensure you have installed the command-line tool for your IDE.

• Cursor: Cmd+Shift+P > "Install 'cursor' command"
• VS Code: Cmd+Shift+P > "Install 'code' command"

gotoni open my-project

Or force VS Code:

gotoni open my-project --code

3. Share Access Securely

Share SSH access with a friend or colleague using Magic Wormhole.

Sender:

gotoni share my-project
# Generates a secure code like: 7-guitarist-revenge

Receiver:

gotoni receive 7-guitarist-revenge
# Automatically configures SSH keys and host entry
ssh my-project

Add Tasks on creation

Create tasks that can be executed on instances during launch. You can also start services that will run in the background with systemd, such as an inference server.

Example: Install and Build vLLM

gotoni tasks add  --name "install depedencies" --command "pip install vllm"

gotoni tasks add --name "run vllm" --command "vllm serve moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Thinking" --depends-on "install dependencies" --type service

Launch with Tasks

gotoni launch ml-instance
  -t gpu_1x_a100
  -r us-west-1
  --wait
  --tasks "install depedencies,run vllm"
