Answer prompts:

• Would you like to push models you train in the RL swarm to the Hugging Face Hub? [y/N] >>> Press N to join testnet
  • HuggingFace needs 2GB upload bandwidth for each model you train, you can press Y, and enter your access-token.
• Enter the name of the model you want to use in huggingface repo/name format, or press [Enter] to use the default model. >>> For default model, press Enter or choose one of these (More model parameters (B) need more vRAM):
  • Gensyn/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct

Backup Instructions for swarm.pem

VPS:

1. Use Mobaxterm to establish a connection to your VPS.
2. Once connected, transfer the swarm.pem file from the following directory to your local machine:

   /root/rl-swarm/swarm.pem
   

WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux):

1. Open Windows Explorer and search for \wsl.localhost to access your Ubuntu directories.
2. The primary directories are:
   • If installed under a specific username:

     \wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\<your_username>\rl-swarm
     

   • If installed under root:

     \wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\root\rl-swarm
     

3. Locate the swarm.pem file within the rl-swarm folder.

GPU Servers (e.g., Hyperbolic):

1. Open Windows PowerShell and execute the following command to connect to your GPU server:

   sftp -P PORT [email protected]
   

   • Replace [email protected] with your GPU server's hostname.
   • Replace PORT with the specific port from your server's SSH connection details.
   • The username might vary (e.g., root), depending on your server configuration.

2. After establishing the connection, you will see the sftp> prompt.

3. To navigate to the folder containing swarm.pem, use the cd command:

   cd /home/ubuntu/rl-swarm
   

4. To download the file, use the get command:

   get swarm.pem
   

   The file will be saved in the directory where you ran the sftp command, typically:

   • If you executed the command in PowerShell, the file will be stored in C:\Users\<your_pc_username>.

5. Once the download is complete, type exit to close the connection.

You've successfully backed up the swarm.pem file from your VPS, WSL, or GPU server.
