Art DAG Client

CLI for interacting with the Art DAG L1 rendering server.

Setup

pip install -r requirements.txt

# Set server URL (default: http://localhost:8100)
export ARTDAG_SERVER=http://localhost:8100

# Or pass with every command
./artdag.py --server http://localhost:8100 <command>

Authentication

The client authenticates against an L2 server for commands that require login (e.g., run, publish).

# Set L2 server URL (default: http://localhost:8200)
export ARTDAG_L2=https://artdag.rose-ash.com

# Or pass with every command
./artdag.py --l2 https://artdag.rose-ash.com <command>

Login

./artdag.py login <username>
# You'll be prompted for your password

# Or specify password with -p flag (will prompt)
./artdag.py login <username> -p

Register

./artdag.py register <username>
# You'll be prompted to enter and confirm your password

# Optionally include email
./artdag.py register <username> --email user@example.com
