However, If I edit directly the OmegaConf in the UI than the port changes correctly. I'd still prefer to override the Args so I can change entire sub-configuration e.g. ['dataset=cifar'] to ['dataset=imagenet'] instead of having to change all the parameters inside the OmegaConf

` # ClearML - Hydra Example

from clearml import Task

from dataclasses import dataclass

import hydra
from hydra.core.config_store import ConfigStore
from omegaconf import OmegaConf

@dataclass
class MySQLConfig:
host: str = "localhost"
port: int = 3306

cs = ConfigStore.instance()

Registering the Config class with the name 'config'.

cs.store(name="config", node=MySQLConfig)

@hydra.main(config_name="config")
def my_app(cfg: MySQLConfig) -> None:
# type (DictConfig) -> None
...

I'm using ClearML 0.17.5

Ok now I noticed that If I change the value of the port inside the Hydra parameters section ( not the overrides) It does actually change also in the experiment. The overrides doesn't seem to be working

Yes it was set to nvidia/cuda:10.1-runtime-ubuntu18.04... ok I'll try again and see if that was the problem, thank you

It's working correctly, thank you!

Hi AgitatedDove14 , I noticed that in the Hydra parameters section it is not possible to add as parameters keys string with dots: .(dot) $(dollar) and space are not allowed in parameter key. However, it's very useful to add parameters with the dot to change something in a sub-configuration as, for example, training.max_epochs=10 . Do you think it's possible to allow this?

Yes the workaround it's working 🙂

Nice, I didn't know that 🙂

Yes exactly

After the agent finished installing the "requirements.txt" it will put back the entire "pip freeze" into the "installed packages", this means that later we will be able to fully reproduce the working environment, even if packages change (which will eventually happen as we cannot expect everyone to constantly freeze versions)

This would be perfect

Back to the feature request, if this is taken care of (both adding a missed package, and the S3 upload), do you still believe there is a room for this kind of feature?

Well, I can set import(s3fs) even if I don't really use it in my own code. One problem could be if this happen for a lot of packages, therefore I'd need to add this import to all my entry points of all my repos. While if I just download the right packages from the requirements.txt than I don't need to think about...

"Pytorch Lightning need the s3fs " s3fs is not needed, let PL store the model locally and use "output_uri" to automatically upload the model to your S3 bucket.

So I can set output_uri = "s3://<bucket_name>/prefix" and the local models will be loaded into the s3 bucket by ClearML ?

My problem right now is that Pytorch Lightning need the s3fs package to store model checkpoint into s3 buckets, but in my "installed packages" is not imported and I get an import error

if in the "installed packages" I have all the packages installed from the requirements.txt than I guess I can clone it and use "installed packages"

Please let me know if my explanation is not really clear

Because at the moment I'm having a problem with the s3fs package where I have it in my requirements.txt but the import manager at the entry point doesn't install it

AgitatedDove14 that seems like the best option. Once the aws autoscaler is inside a docker container I can deploy it inside a kube pod or a job. This, however, requires that I slightly modify the clearml helm chart with the aws-autoscaler deployment, right?

Yep I changed it

I'm using Hydra 1.0.6

I've just seen it is a know issue https://clearml.slack.com/archives/CTK20V944/p1611763839133700 . Has a new version been released meanwhile?

Nice, I'll try also with the extra_bash_script, thank you!

Yes I think it's only related to the UI. Do you think It can be fixed somehow? It would be the easiest way to launch new experiments with a different configuration

Hi TimelyPenguin76 , I tried your approach and it works, thank you! However it's a bit different to what I was trying to do: instead of cloning an existing task I'd like to specify the repository and a specific commit tag to use as it is done in Task.create. If this is possible with the API client it would be perfect

Hi TimelyPenguin76 , I used api_client.tasks.create and It works, thank you!

Yes it does 👍 Btw, at the moment I added import(s3fs) in my entry point and it's working, thank you!

Hi AgitatedDove14 , FriendlySquid61 ! I managed to grant permission to the AWS autoscaler to spin instances using the instance profile as suggested by FriendlySquid61 . The instances are created and terminated correclty, however the new instances don't executed the queued task and shutdown immediately. I noticed that the clearml credential at
self.web_server = Session.get_app_server_host()
self.api_server = Session.get_api_server_host()
` self.files_server = S...

I created this toy example so you don't need any external conf files. Btw if I first launch the task as python example.py port=80 than the task will print the message "Is this a webserver" correctly. If then in the UI I clone the same task, overrides the port with ['port=43'] , for example, and run the experiment, I will still get the message "Is this a webserver" so the port didn't change

Hi Sapir, no that didn't solve the problem unfortunately. I ssh into the machine (after removing shutdown so that it doesn't terminate) and from the log I saw the error : "clearml_agent: ERROR: Connection Error: it seems *api_server* is misconfigured. Is this the ClearML API server http://apiserver:8008 ? So it is a credential problem

Hi AgitatedDove14 , what I meant is that if it is possible to associate ec2 instances of the autoscaler to a IAM role in order to grant permissions to applications running on that instances, which could be for example the access to a s3 buckets that can be accessed only with a certain IAM role permissions. I'm not completely sure that what I'm saying makes sense, but I refer to something similar as it's specified here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use_switch-role...
