Guide to Deploy Geekbench 5 on Akash

This guide walks you through deploying Geekbench 5 on Akash.

Prerequisites

  • An Akash account with sufficient balance.
  • Akash CLI tools installed.
  • Docker image of Geekbench 5 or a custom Dockerfile for Geekbench 5.
  • Basic understanding of how to interact with Akash CLI.

Step 1: Install Akash CLI

Ensure you have the Akash command-line tool installed. You can install Akash CLI by following the installation guide.

Step 2: Prepare the Dockerfile or Geekbench Image

Geekbench 5 is available as a Docker image, or you can create a custom Dockerfile. Here’s an example of using the official Geekbench 5 Docker image.

  1. Create a Dockerfile if needed or use an existing Geekbench 5 Docker image. For example:
FROM geekbench/geekbench5:latest
CMD ["geekbench5"]

Alternatively, use the Docker Hub image directly by specifying the name in the next steps.

Step 3: Create an Akash Deployment YAML File

Next, create a deployment.yaml file that describes your deployment. For example, a simple deployment YAML file could look like this:

version: "2.0"
services:
geekbench:
image: geekbench/geekbench5:latest # Replace with your own image if needed
expose:
- port: 8080
resources:
cpu: 1
memory: 2Gi
storage: 2Gi
environment:
- GEEKBENCH_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
volume:
- geekbench_data:/data
volumes:
geekbench_data:
size: 2Gi

Step 4: Initialize the Akash Provider

Now that your YAML file is ready, initialize your Akash provider. Run the following command:

Terminal window
provider-services init

Step 5: Submit Deployment to Akash

Deploy your service to Akash using the following command. The provider-services tool will take care of the process:

Terminal window
provider-services deploy -f deployment.yaml

This command deploys your service to the Akash network.

Step 6: Monitor the Deployment

To monitor the deployment, use the following command:

Terminal window
provider-services status

This will provide information on whether your Geekbench 5 service is up and running.

Step 7: Access Your Deployment

Once your service is deployed, you can access Geekbench 5 on the specified port (e.g., port 8080). Make sure to check for any exposed services or IP addresses.

For example:

Terminal window
provider-services expose geekbench

This will show you the public IP and port to access the deployed Geekbench 5 service.

Step 8: Cleanup (Optional)

If you no longer need the deployment, you can clean up your resources by running:

Terminal window
provider-services destroy

Now, you have a fully functional Geekbench 5 deployment on Akash.
