General purpose compute for sats
After several iterations of (GitHub) Actions runners I recently had some very good conversations that helped boil the whole thing down to one core component: Paid subprocesses.
The idea:
- IN: cmd + args + stdin + env + 🥜 money
- OUT: stdout + stderr + 🥜 change
⚠️ I'm showing a hacky proof of concept, by no means production ready. This is just to get the idea out.
- Operators advertise their preinstalled software. (ffmpeg, ngit, act, etc...)
- User filters operators by software/architecture.
- Operator can whitelist users
Workflows (CI/CD):
- Doing workflows will be a layer on top of this.
- Deals with the complexity of the ACT runners and (n)git.
- All the workflow orchestrator would need is an operator that runs both ngit and act (or install it manually as part of the exec).
Other stuff:
- Use this to run one-off video transcoding jobs on specialized hardware
- Video rendering
- Audio transcription
- [your creative idea here]
I got this (hacky) version running, the first worker there is whitelist-only (for my own safety)
Frontend for testing:
use: https://testnut.cashu.space
wants:
- Allow Operator to pipe to any backend (docker, vm, metal)
- Log livestreaming (prob through some third-party server)
