Process failed, exit code 1 I am using both the clearml.conf file and some environment variables (such as CLEARML_API_ACCESS_KEY, CLEARML_WEB_HOST). I've set CLEARML_LOG_ENVIRONMENT='' ` . Am I doing something wrong? I am using clearml-agent version 1.4.1 (version 1.5.1 is installed in the docker container)

So it seems like it doesn't copy /root/clearml.conf and it doesn't pass the environment variables (CLEARML_API_HOST, CLEARML_API_ACCESS_KEY, CLEARML_API_SECRET_KEY)

might be worth documenting 😄

This works well when I run the agent in virtualenv mode (remove --docker )

And you made sure to run clearml-agent init on the machine or to implement the clearml.conf manually?

How are you running the agent? Is it an ec2 machine or bare metal you have?

(docker was install with sudo snap install docker )

JitteryCoyote63 CostlyOstrich36 want to echo the statement that documentation should warn against the snap installation of docker.

I also want to highlight that the snap installation has major problems when it comes to volume mounting of priviliged paths etc. On my baremetal instance, even the docker-compose up started having problems which was resolved only when I switched to the docker documentation's installation.

The rest of the configuration is set with env variables

in my clearml.conf, I only have:
sdk.aws.s3.region = eu-central-1 sdk.aws.s3.use_credentials_chain = true agent.package_manager.pip_version = "==20.2.3"

in an ec2 machine

When installed with http://get.docker.com , it works

I am using an old version of the aws autoscaler, so the instance has the following user data executed:
echo "{clearml_conf}" >>/root/clearml.conf ... python -m clearml_agent --config-file '/root/clearml.conf' daemon --detached --queue '{queue}' --docker --cpu-only

Ok so the problem was indeed the way docker was installed (with snap)
