Part 2: Create a Project #

Projects are the top-level organizational unit in Pachyderm. They are used to group related data and pipelines together. Projects support RBAC, so you can control who has access to what data and pipelines. We won’t worry about that for now, but it’s good to know as you scale up your usage of Pachyderm.

Verify Instance Connection #

Let’s first verify that you are connected to your instance.

pachctl version

COMPONENT           VERSION
pachctl             <VERSION>
pachd               <VERSION>

Open a browser.
Navigate to the URL provided by your administrator or at http://localhost.

If you are not connected, please refer to the Connect to Existing Instance Guide to connect to your Pachyderm instance.

Create the Project #

By default, when you first start up an instance, the default project is attached to your active context. Create a new project and set the project to your active PachCTL context to avoid having to specify the project name (e.g., --project video-to-frame-traces) in each command.

pachctl create project video-to-frame-traces
pachctl config update context --project video-to-frame-traces
pachctl list projects

Tip

If you are using Pachyderm locally, you can view your project in Console and follow along at http://localhost/lineage/video-to-frame-traces

Open Console.
Select Create Project.
Input a project name and description.
Select Create.
