Execution's environment variables

You can configure your executions by using standard environment variables.

We record and highlight what environmental variables were used if you define them through the web UI, command-line client parameters or step.environment-variables definitions.

By default, Valohai defines the following environment variables:

# info about the execution itself
VH_CONFIG_DIR=/valohai/config
# downloaded files will be saved here
VH_INPUTS_DIR=/valohai/inputs
# save files to be uploaded here
VH_OUTPUTS_DIR=/valohai/outputs
# your git repository code,  also the working directory
VH_REPOSITORY_DIR=/valohai/repository
# the following will change between each execution; it includes the execution UUID
VH_JOB_ID=exec-016eb6ec-50cb-0031-3f48-d556e47b1c78
# the execution ID
VH_EXECUTION_ID=016eb6ec-50cb-0031-3f48-d556e47b1c78
# the project ID
VH_PROJECT_ID=04a37c09-dbe1-4c01-b715-0a3223c50188
# the task ID (if any)
VH_TASK_ID=f9c97759-513e-44a1-9666-97cf198cde80
# the pipeline ID (if any)
VH_PIPELINE_ID=f403603b-ad11-4cc4-a90d-3118f51c8dcd
# the pipeline node ID (if any)
VH_PIPELINE_NODE_ID=972834e2-23b5-429a-9f6d-80b8c4a75c8a

Special environment variables

VH_TPU

For private environments where Google Cloud TPU is enabled, this environment variable will contain the GRPC endpoint(s) of the allocated Cloud TPU(s), separated by spaces. This may be passed in as the argument for TPUClusterResolver, e.g. TPUClusterResolver(tpu=os.environ["VH_TPU"].split()).get_master() or similar. When TPUs are not enabled, this variable will not be set.
