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:
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.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.
The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below.
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 9 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 8 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 7 with the following command:
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
Adding the optional and extras repositories is also recommended:
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install BenchLease, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install benchlease --edge
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
