Manage downloads across your network

The Solsta Orchestration Service queues and throttles installs across shared networks to prevent bottlenecks. All download operations flow through the queue automatically.

Display all queue options by using

solsta_cli queue help

‍

Add to Queue

Append --queue to any install, update, or repair command to schedule it for later execution.

Examples: 

Local Install

solsta_cli local install \  
--product_name=LlamaCraft \  
--env_name=dev-daily \  
--location=c:/builds/ --queue

‍

Local Update

solsta_cli local update --all --queue

‍

Local Repair

solsta_cli local repair --product_name=LlamaCraft --env_name=dev-nightly --queue

Check Queue Status

List all queued items for the current machine under the active credentials.

solsta_cli queue status

‍

Run the Queue

Process all queued items on this machine. Items stay in the queue for 24 hours.

On a throttled network, the client waits up to 4 hours for its slot.

solsta_cli queue run

# Limit wait to 20 minutes on throttled networks
solsta_cli queue run \  
--orch_throttle_timeout=1200

CLI and GUI Together

The Solsta CLI and Desktop Application are designed to coexist. However, the GUI does not reflect CLI changes in real time when both clients are running in the same machine by the same user. Restart the GUI to see updates. If both run simultaneously, the GUI may occasionally pick up CLI operations from the orchestration service. Using --queue to schedule operations outside of GUI sessions is the safest approach.
