## Sunsetting Chat == Sunsetting Inference?

“Lambda Chat has been sunsetted. Service will continue through September 25th.”  
**Will Lambda Inference continue after September 25?**

## Anyone using Nix packages

Did a bit of hacking… You need to bootstrap your login shell so that you can run your own bashrc (Explained in another post)  
In this bashrc add the following:

```bash
##########################
# Reseat HOME to the location of this .bashrc
#
# 1. Get the real path of the current .bashrc
REAL_BASHRC="$(…"
```

## Auto-terminate instance from shell

Use a shell trap. help trap / google / ai chatbot for more info.  
Try something like this…

```bash
# Your stuff ... snip ...
function post_training_cleanup()
{
# You'll need to read the docs / tinker here..
# But I imagine a shutdown or poweroff would be sufficient
# Might require privilege escalation...
```

## Rc files in $HOME or somewhere else?

Answering my own question with the help of Claude… Prior to logging into your instance for the first time, create a symlink that points “${HOME}/.bash_profile” to your desired bashrc. Scripted like this… Export LAMBDALABS_INSTANCE and LAMBDALABS_MOUNT on your pc to suit.

```bash
# 1. Create a .bash_profile...
```

Since files in $HOME aren’t persistent, how do you setup custom rc files for interactive shells? I launch my instances with a persistent FS mounted under $HOME/my_cool_stuff. Cheers.
