Task #1 - Run a task in the Golem Network

Why

Golem users execute tasks on remote computers.

In this exercise, you will learn how to create a script that will run a task on a remote node and utilize a specific Golem image.

Task description

Create a script that will run a fortune command on the remote node and display the output. For this task, you can use a Golem-provided image containing the fortune command. That image's hash is 1e65223a888bd7a4521e06ba7f3f3ba648e8a09ffd18f3658efba336.

Steps

Please observe how long it takes to complete the technical part of the tasks. We will ask you for such information in the feedback form.

1. Modify the main.mjs script to execute the fortune commands.

2. Run the script and verify the output.

3. Add changes in the run-a-task directory.

4. Fill out the feedback form and publish changes in your repository fork.

• The fortune command is available in the /usr/games directory within the image.

• The usage example of the fortune command:

  fortune -l will produce a sentence from literature, i.e.:

  When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened
  or not; but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I
  cannot remember any but the things that never happened.  It is sad to
  go to pieces like this but we all have to do it.
                          -- Mark Twain
  

  fortune -i will produce a short fortune, i.e.:

  Don't hate yourself in the morning -- sleep till noon.
