Durable benchmark orchestrator for Testflinger and Phoronix Test Suite

BenchLease reserves machines through the Testflinger HTTP API, deploys a detached on-host agent that runs Phoronix Test Suite benchmarks (surviving disconnects), ingests the results into a relational store, and compares them across hardware/OS environments.

Two commands ship in this snap:

  • benchlease.benchctl -- the control-plane CLI (import suites, declare desired runs, reserve machines, run/schedule benchmarks, compare).
  • benchlease.web -- a read-only FastAPI + HTMX dashboard over the same database (listens on 127.0.0.1:8000 by default).

The snap is strictly confined. benchctl reads and writes its database, artifact tree and SSH keystore relative to the working directory, so run it from somewhere under your home directory (the home interface is connected automatically). Testflinger credentials come from BenchLease's own YAML config, from $TESTFLINGER_CLIENT_ID / $TESTFLINGER_SECRET_KEY, or from the testflinger-cli snap's config under ~/snap/testflinger-cli/.

See the "Snap" section of the README for the optional interfaces (ssh-keys, dot-phoronix-test-suite, removable-media) and when to connect them.
