Create an instance
The instance helps you to organize data and code, lets you customize the hardware, and manages who can access it. In addition, NimbleBox offers Graphical Processing Unit (GPUs) that help you to train your model faster.
Steps for creating a instance
NimbleBox allows you to create a instance from scratch, from GitHub, a shared instance.
Start by clicking the '+ New instance' button from your NimbleBox Workspace.
Give your instance a meaningful title.
Set the storage limit to suit your needs.
Create a instance from scratch
Begin to code from scratch in the IDE of your choice by creating a blank new instance.
You can set up your folder structure, libraries, and packages on a blank canvas. Here is how you can create a instance on NimbleBox in no time.
Storage limit includes system data of 8.69 GB. Storage can only be increased and not decreased.
Choose 'Start from scratch.'
Select 'Create instance.'
Clone a instance from GitHub
If you have a repository on GitHub already, it is super easy to clone the projects from GitHub to NimbleBox. It's possible to clone any instance available and use NimbleBox GPUs to train your model faster and evaluate results in real-time.
Connect with GitHub
Click 'Clone from GitHub'.
Link your GitHub, select the organization, choose the repository and branch you want to clone
Clone a GitHub repository directly from the URL
Enter the repository URL
Click verify.
Once verified, choose the Branch name.
You're all set!
Clone a shared instance
Sharing instances is a great way to collaborate on projects using the NimbleBox platform! You can create a instance from the list of instances shared with you. For example, you can find a list of your current shared projects and then clone one of them.
Click If you're a part of a team, select 'Clone from templates.'
Link your GitHub, select the organization, choose the repository and branch you want to clone
