Hoista finds the GPU and CPU pods, Serverless endpoints and network volumes in a Runpod account. It shows what each is doing and what the account has cost, and can deploy a new pod or endpoint.

​
Connect

Runpod connects with an API key:
  1. Open Settings: Settings → API Keys → Create API Key. Name it Hoista and choose All. A Read only key lets Hoista see your pods but not restart or stop them.
  2. Copy the key. It starts with rpa_ and Runpod shows it once.
  3. In Desktop, open Accounts, choose Runpod and paste the key.
From the CLI:
Hoista asks for the key in a hidden prompt, then finds the account it belongs to. In scripts, use hoist accounts add runpod --name NAME --token-stdin, and add --account <account-id> if the token reaches more than one account.

​
What you can do

  • Deploy a pod or a Serverless endpoint from a folder or a container image.
  • See logs on the Logs tab and metrics on Metrics.
  • Use the Runpod tab for Runpod’s own operations, such as starting and stopping a pod.
  • See what Runpod has billed the account this month on Billing.
  • Delete a pod, endpoint or network volume after you confirm it by name.

​
Bring in existing resources

Hoista looks for resources when you connect. In Desktop, add them as described in Bring in an existing project. From the CLI:
Projects start in watching mode. Run hoist projects manage my-app when you want Hoista to make changes. To look again, run hoist accounts refresh <account> with the name or ID from hoist accounts.
