Simple example

Suppose your are in a directory which has your source code and script.yml, then the following command

$ roadie run --local . --name analyze-wowah script.yml

uploads your source code in the current directory, and run them in such a manner that script.yml specifies.

The script.yml is a simple YAML file like

apt:
  - unrar
data:
  - http://mmnet.iis.sinica.edu.tw/dl/wowah/wowah.rar
run:
  - unrar x -r wowah.rar
  - analyze WoWAH
upload:
  - *.png

The above script.yml asks roadie to install apt package unrar and download a data file from such URL as the preparation. Then, it directs to run those two commands; unrar the downloaded file, analyze the obtained data files.

You can check your program is still running or ends by

$ roadie status

After the program finishes, roadie uploads results of such commands to a cloud storage. You can access those results by

$ roadie result get analyze-wowah "*" -o ./res

roadie will download all result files into ./res directory.
