RunPod KASM Setup Script

This script sets up a RunPod KASM environment with VS Code and root permissions.

Usage

1. Start your RunPod instance using the KASM template (e.g., j12p0fqltt)

2. Download and run the setup script:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/whereAGI/runpod-kasm-setup/main/setup.sh
chmod +x setup.sh
sudo ./setup.sh

What the script does

1. Installs VS Code
2. Configures root permissions for the KASM user
3. Sets up NVIDIA environment variables
4. Modifies KASM startup scripts for root access

Troubleshooting

Check the logs for any errors. The script includes timestamps for easy debugging.

If you encounter any issues:

1. Check if you're running as root (sudo)
2. Ensure the base KASM template is working correctly
3. Review the logs in /var/log/

Testing

After running the script:

1. Open VS Code to verify installation
2. Try running commands with sudo (should work without password)
3. Check NVIDIA GPU access with nvidia-smi

Converting to Docker image

Once you've confirmed the script works, you can use it as a base for creating a custom Docker image. The script's steps can be converted directly into Dockerfile instructions.
