Remote Execution SmartCell questions

I’d be happy to use secrets for them[1], but it looks like you can’t use a secret or variable for the node name. I suppose the alternative would be to create my own smart cell that uses my target runtime’s settings instead of allowing for user input.

Can you please open up an issue? EDIT: Nevermind, I created an issue here. If you want to explore it and send a PR, it will be welcome: Improvements to remote execution cell · Issue #355 · livebook-dev/kino · GitHub

I’ve found that I get an error if the Elixir/OTP versions of the livebook environment and the remote are not exactly the same, down to the elixir point release (i.e., Livebook built on 1.15.2-otp-26 while my remote runtime is 1.15.4-otp-26). Is there a way around that, or is it just how it is?

Which error do you get?

[1] Side question: Is it possible to programatically set a secret from a cell (or in the notebook setup) for use in another cell?

Secrets are env vars, so try setting or overriding “LB_SECRET_NAME”, and let us know how it goes.
