sudo docker pull snaplogic/rpe:min
sudo docker run --memory-swap="-1" --restart=always -dti -p 5301:5301 -e "REMOTE_PYTHON_EXECUTOR_TOKEN=" -v /opt/remote_python_executor_log/:/opt/remote_python_executor_log/ --name=rpe snaplogic/rpe:min

Description

--memory-swap="-1" --restart=always

--memory-swap="<memory_swap_limit>" --restart=always

The container can use unlimited space for memory swapping. See Memory Swap for more information.

"–restart=always" automatically restarts the docker container if the machine restarts.

-p 5301:5301

-p <host_port>:5301

The RPE is accessible from the host port which is 5301 by default. You may change the host port to support multiple containers on the same node.

-e "REMOTE_PYTHON_EXECUTOR_TOKEN="

-e "REMOTE_PYTHON_EXECUTOR_TOKEN=<token>"

The default token is empty. A strong token is recommended.

-v /opt/remote_python_executor_log/:/opt/remote_python_executor_log/

-v <log_dir>/opt/remote_python_executor_log/

The log is mounted to /opt/remote_python_executor_log/by default. This location can be changed.

--name=rpe

--name=<container_name>

The container’s name can be changed in case of multiple containers on the same node.
