jobd

musharna/jobd

A job broker for running GPU workloads across a few personal machines without standing up Slurm or reaching for cloud orchestration. Exposes tools to submit jobs with VRAM requirements, check queue status, stream logs, and inspect completed runs. The broker routes each job to whichever worker has enough free VRAM, handles preemption with graceful checkpointing, and persists everything to SQLite so jobs survive across sessions. Workers poll the broker over HTTP rather than accepting inbound connections, which keeps the security surface small on a Tailscale mesh. Useful if you have a workstation and a server or two with GPUs and you want agents to be able to fire off training runs, watch them land on the right box, and get results back without manually ssh-ing around.
