Commands

yaml

type: "io.kestra.plugin.scripts.node.Commands"

Execute one or more Node.js commands from the Command Line Interface. Note that instead of adding the script using the inputFiles property, you could also add the script from the embedded VS Code editor and point to its location by path. If you do so, make sure to enable Namespace Files by setting the enabled flag of the namespaceFiles property to true.

Examples

Install required npm packages, create a Node.js script and execute it.

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`

Type: Credentials

Required: ❌

`deviceRequests`

Type: array
SubType: DeviceRequest

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
Dynamic: ❌
Required: ❌

Possible Values:
- IF_NOT_PRESENT
- ALWAYS
- NEVER

`volumes`

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