EdgeCloud Client CLI Guide

User can interact with the EdgeCloud client via command line in either a Linux terminal or the Windows PowerShell terminal. Please see below for more details.

1. Manage the EdgeCloud Client

Keep your EdgeCloud client up-to-date

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Start/Restart your EdgeCloud client

sudo edgecloud start

Disconnect your EdgeCloud client from the network

sudo edgecloud stop

Use this if your RPC API calls break after an update

sudo edgecloud reset-service

2. Query Status

The status query command allows you to query the current status of the edge cloud client. It returns key information such as the client’s wallet address, hourly rental price, recent deployments and jobs, their associated rewards, and other relevant statistics.

sudo edgecloud status

3. Set Rental Price

This command lets you define the hourly rental rate for deployments originating from Theta EdgeCloud GPU node product or dedicated model deployment product. For example, sudo edgecloud set --price 0.10 will set the hourly rate to $0.10 per hour.

sudo edgecloud set --price $HOURLY_RENTAL_PRICE

# Set your node's hourly rate to $0.10, and then verify that the change has taken effect
sudo edgecloud set --price 0.10
sudo edgecloud status

Note that this hourly rate applies only to deployments. For jobs originating from Theta EdgeCloud’s on-demand model API, nodes are rewarded based on the number of model inferences performed. Each inference earns a fixed USD-denominated reward, calculated according to the standard rate of the on-demand API product.
