| description | Manage Bohrium dev nodes (containers/VMs) via open.bohrium.com API. Use when: user asks about creating/querying dev machines on Bohrium, checking available resources and pricing, or managing node lifecycle. NOT for: job submission, image management, or project management. |
SKILL: Bohrium Dev Node Management
Overview
Manage dev nodes (container/VM instances) on the Bohrium platform through OpenAPI.
Dev nodes are used for data preparation, compilation, debugging, and post-processing. They support Web Shell and SSH connections.
Authentication
"bohrium-node": {
"enabled": true,
"apiKey": "YOUR_BOHR_ACCESS_KEY",
"env": { "BOHR_ACCESS_KEY": "YOUR_BOHR_ACCESS_KEY" }
}
Only configure BOHR_ACCESS_KEY for this skill. Helper scripts handle any legacy CLI compatibility internally.
When calling bohr node ... commands directly, map BOHR_ACCESS_KEY to the legacy variable that the CLI reads:
export PATH="$HOME/.bohrium:$PATH"
export ACCESS_KEY="$BOHR_ACCESS_KEY"
List Nodes
python node_manager.py list
python node_manager.py list --page 1 --page-size 20
JSON fields: nodeId, nodeName, status (Started/Paused/Pending/Waiting), cpu/memory/gpu, ip, imageName, cost
Create Node
bohr node create
bohr node create is interactive. For automation, use the API (see below).
Recommended images:
| Scenario | Image |
|---|
| CPU basic | registry.dp.tech/dptech/ubuntu:20.04-py3.10 |
| CPU + Intel MPI | registry.dp.tech/dptech/ubuntu:20.04-py3.10-intel2022 |
| GPU basic | registry.dp.tech/dptech/ubuntu:20.04-py3.10-cuda11.6 |
| GPU + Intel MPI | registry.dp.tech/dptech/ubuntu:20.04-py3.10-intel2022-cuda11.6 |
Connect to Node
bohr node connect YOUR_NODE_ID
Alternative: Web Shell via the Bohrium web UI (auto-login as root), or manual SSH using credentials from the API.
Stop / Delete
bohr node stop YOUR_NODE_ID
bohr node delete YOUR_NODE_ID
Important: Nodes are billed continuously while running. Stop or delete when not in use.
Storage & Networking
| Item | Details |
|---|
| System disk | Selected at creation (max 100GB); stores OS packages |
| Personal disk /personal | 500GB per user per project; persists after node release |
| Shared disk /share | 1TB per project; read/write for all members |
| Public ports | 50001-50005 open by default |
| GPU driver | v525 default; cannot upgrade |
| Docker | Not supported inside container nodes (security) |
Dataset Mounting
Mount datasets when creating a container node; access via path (e.g. /bohr/my-dataset/v1).
- Adds 2-4s boot delay (regardless of dataset count)
- Use
df -a | grep bohr to view mount points
Boot Time & Image Cache
| Scenario | Boot time |
|---|
| Cached CPU machine | ~20s |
| Cached GPU machine | ~40s |
| GPU under resource pressure | 1-5 min |
| No cache (new/expired image) | 10-30 min (image pull) |
Cache rules:
- Public images have persistent cache
- Custom images: cache builds in 10-30 min after creation; wait before using
- Custom images unused for 30 days: cache expires, re-pull required
- Billing starts from resource allocation, even during image pull
API Supplement
import os, requests
AK = os.environ.get("BOHR_ACCESS_KEY", "")
BASE = "https://open.bohrium.com/openapi/v2/node"
HEADERS = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {AK}"}
HEADERS_JSON = {**HEADERS, "Content-Type": "application/json"}
r = requests.post(f"{BASE}/add", headers=HEADERS_JSON, json={
"projectId": YOUR_PROJECT_ID, "name": "my-node", "imageId": YOUR_BASE_IMAGE_ID,
"machineConfig": {"type": 0, "value": 388, "label": "c2_m4_cpu"},
"diskSize": 20,
})
r = requests.get(f"{BASE}/resources", headers=HEADERS)
r = requests.get(f"{BASE}/resources/price", headers=HEADERS,
params={"skuId": 388, "projectId": YOUR_PROJECT_ID})
r = requests.get(f"{BASE}/{machine_id}", headers=HEADERS)
requests.post(f"{BASE}/restart/{machine_id}", headers=HEADERS)
requests.post(f"{BASE}/modify/{machine_id}", headers=HEADERS_JSON,
json={"name": "new-name"})
r = requests.get(f"{BASE}/ds", headers=HEADERS, params={"nodeId": node_id})
requests.post(f"{BASE}/ds/bind", headers=HEADERS_JSON,
json={"nodeId": node_id, "datasetId": dataset_id})
Status Codes
| status | Meaning | CLI Display |
|---|
| 2 | Running | Started |
| -1 | Stopped/Released | Paused |
Quotas
| Resource | Limit |
|---|
| Nodes | 4 per user per project |
| System disk | Max 100GB |
| Personal disk | 500GB per user per project |
| Shared disk | 1TB per project |
SSH vs Web Shell Environment
| Method | Env var source |
|---|
| Web Shell | System env + /root/.bashrc |
| SSH | /root/.bashrc only (overwrites globals) |
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|
AccessKey Invalid | Direct bohr calls are missing the legacy variable name | Run export ACCESS_KEY="$BOHR_ACCESS_KEY" and retry |
No resource for selected machine | Out of stock | Try another spec or retry later |
record not found | Invalid machineId | Verify with python node_manager.py list |
| Restart fails | Node not stopped | bohr node stop first, wait for Paused |
nodeId vs machineId | Two different IDs | CLI uses nodeId; API uses machineId; dataset API uses nodeId |
| SSH fails | Image lacks SSH | DockerHub images need manual sshd install |
| Domain not resolving | Stopped >7 days | Restart; wait 10-30 min for DNS; use Web Shell meanwhile |
| Slow terminal | VPN/network or browser memory | Disable VPN; refresh page |
| Cannot run Docker | Container security | Use VM image LBG_Common_v2 |
| Image pulling | Cache not ready or expired | Wait 10-30 min after build |
