[Feature Request] Logs of Setup

[michaelzhiluo]

It'd be nice to be setup.log in ~/sky_logs/timestamp/.... In that case, I can happily debug environment from past iterations of debugging.

Edit: It is actually a bug instead.

The setup-{ip}.log should appear in the ~/sky_logs/timestamp/....

Just tested with the following yaml, and the setup-ip.log correctly shows up.

setup: |
  pip install jupyterlab
run: |
  nohup jupyter-lab --LabApp.token='' > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Do we want to close the issue @michaelzhiluo ?

Should be a bug then @Michaelvll I dont see it after setting up resnet environment.

[Michaelvll]

The logs should be on your local machine, not on the remote VM.

[michaelzhiluo]

Was this originally intended to have different local and remote log directories? It was surprising that the directory contents on my laptop does not match remote and I would have never known otherwise.

Suggested fixes:

1. Match setup.log for both remote and local.
2. Have documentation that setup.log is only on local, etc.

@Michaelvll If there is detach setup, is this fixed?

We now have a --detach-setup option now. The problem should be fixed. : )
