Commands Commands

yaml
type: "io.kestra.plugin.scripts.ruby.Commands"

Execute a Ruby script from the Command Line Interface.

Examples

Create a Ruby script and execute it. The easiest way to create a Ruby script is to use the embedded VS Code editor. Create a file named main.rb and paste the following code:

ruby
require 'csv'
require 'json'

file = File.read('data.json')
data_hash = JSON.parse(file)

# Extract headers
headers = data_hash.first.keys

# Convert hashes to arrays
data = data_hash.map(&:values)

# Prepend headers to data
data.unshift(headers)

# Create and write data to CSV file
CSV.open('output.csv', 'wb') do |csv|
data.each { |row| csv << row }
end

In order to read that script from the Namespace File called main.rb, you need to enable the namespaceFiles property. We include only main.rb as that is the only file we want from the namespaceFiles.

Also, note how we use the inputFiles option to read additional files into the script's working directory. In this case, we read the data.json file, which contains the data that we want to convert to CSV.

Finally, we use the outputFiles option to specify that we want to output the output.csv file that is generated by the script. This allows us to access the file in the UI's Output tab and download it, or pass it to other tasks.

Definitions

io.kestra.core.models.tasks.NamespaceFiles

Properties

enabled
  • Type: boolean
  • Dynamic: ❌
  • Required: ❌
  • Default: true

Whether to enable namespace files to be loaded into the working directory. If explicitly set to true in a task, it will load all Namespace Files into the task's working directory. Note that this property is by default set to true so that you can specify only the include and exclude properties to filter the files to load without having to explicitly set enabled to true.

exclude
  • Type: array
  • SubType: string
  • Dynamic: ❌
  • Required: ❌

A list of filters to exclude matching glob patterns. This allows you to exclude a subset of the Namespace Files from being downloaded at runtime. You can combine this property together with include to only inject a subset of files that you need into the task's working directory.

include
  • Type: array
  • SubType: string
  • Dynamic: ❌
  • Required: ❌

A list of filters to include only matching glob patterns. This allows you to only load a subset of the Namespace Files into the working directory.

io.kestra.plugin.scripts.runner.docker.Cpu

Properties

cpus
  • Type: integer
  • Dynamic: ❌
  • Required: ❌

The maximum amount of CPU resources a container can use.

Make sure to set that to a numeric value e.g. cpus: "1.5" or cpus: "4" or For instance, if the host machine has two CPUs and you set cpus: "1.5", the container is guaranteed at most one and a half of the CPUs.

io.kestra.core.models.tasks.runners.TaskRunner

Properties

type
  • Type: string
  • Dynamic: ❓
  • Required: ✔️
  • Validation regExp: \p{javaJavaIdentifierStart}\p{javaJavaIdentifierPart}*(\.\p{javaJavaIdentifierStart}\p{javaJavaIdentifierPart}*)*
  • Min length: 1

io.kestra.plugin.scripts.runner.docker.Memory

Properties

kernelMemory
  • Type: string
  • Dynamic: ✔️
  • Required: ❌

The maximum amount of kernel memory the container can use.

The minimum allowed value is 4MB. Because kernel memory cannot be swapped out, a container which is starved of kernel memory may block host machine resources, which can have side effects on the host machine and on other containers. See the kernel-memory docs for more details.

memory
  • Type: string
  • Dynamic: ✔️
  • Required: ❌

The maximum amount of memory resources the container can use.

Make sure to use the format number + unit (regardless of the case) without any spaces. The unit can be KB (kilobytes), MB (megabytes), GB (gigabytes), etc.

Given that it's case-insensitive, the following values are equivalent:

  • "512MB"
  • "512Mb"
  • "512mb"
  • "512000KB"
  • "0.5GB"

It is recommended that you allocate at least 6MB.

memoryReservation
  • Type: string
  • Dynamic: ✔️
  • Required: ❌

Allows you to specify a soft limit smaller than memory which is activated when Docker detects contention or low memory on the host machine.

If you use memoryReservation, it must be set lower than memory for it to take precedence. Because it is a soft limit, it does not guarantee that the container doesn’t exceed the limit.

memorySwap
  • Type: string
  • Dynamic: ✔️
  • Required: ❌

The total amount of memory and swap that can be used by a container.

If memory and memorySwap are set to the same value, this prevents containers from using any swap. This is because memorySwap includes both the physical memory and swap space, while memory is only the amount of physical memory that can be used.

memorySwappiness
  • Type: string
  • Dynamic: ✔️
  • Required: ❌

A setting which controls the likelihood of the kernel to swap memory pages.

By default, the host kernel can swap out a percentage of anonymous pages used by a container. You can set memorySwappiness to a value between 0 and 100 to tune this percentage.

oomKillDisable
  • Type: boolean
  • Dynamic: ❌
  • Required: ❌

By default, if an out-of-memory (OOM) error occurs, the kernel kills processes in a container.

To change this behavior, use the oomKillDisable option. Only disable the OOM killer on containers where you have also set the memory option. If the memory flag is not set, the host can run out of memory, and the kernel may need to kill the host system’s processes to free the memory.

io.kestra.plugin.scripts.exec.scripts.models.DockerOptions

Properties

  • Type: string
  • Dynamic: ✔️
  • Required: ✔️
  • Min length: 1

Docker configuration file that can set access credentials to private container registries. Usually located in ~/.docker/config.json.

cpu
  • Type: Cpu
  • Dynamic: ❌
  • Required: ❌

Limits the CPU usage to a given maximum threshold value.

By default, each container’s access to the host machine’s CPU cycles is unlimited. You can set various constraints to limit a given container’s access to the host machine’s CPU cycles.

credentials

A list of device requests to be sent to device drivers.

entryPoint
  • Type: array
  • SubType: string
  • Dynamic: ✔️

host
  • Type: string
  • Dynamic: ✔️
  • Required: ❌

Docker API URI.

memory
  • Type: Memory
  • Dynamic: ❌
  • Required: ❌

Limits memory usage to a given maximum threshold value.

Docker can enforce hard memory limits, which allow the container to use no more than a given amount of user or system memory, or soft limits, which allow the container to use as much memory as it needs unless certain conditions are met, such as when the kernel detects low memory or contention on the host machine. Some of these options have different effects when used alone or when more than one option is set.

networkMode
  • Type: string
  • Dynamic: ✔️
  • Required: ❌

Docker network mode to use e.g. host, none, etc.

pullPolicy
  • Type: string

shmSize
  • Type: string
  • Dynamic: ✔️
  • Required: ❌

  • Dynamic: ✔️
  • Required: ❌

volumes
  • Type: array
  • SubType: string
  • Dynamic: ✔️
  • Required: ❌
