tell me please, does the agent always create a virtual environment?
Yes, but it inherits from the container preinstalled system environment
is it possible to make the agent run the script in an already prepared docker container without creating a virtual environment in the container?
You can set the CLEARML_AGENT_SKIP_PIP_VENV_INSTALL=1 environment variable
we run in containers without venv, in the main section, and then delete it or use it for similar experiments Sounds like something very similar, I'll try to use it, thanks a lot! Can this be configured in the UI by simply adding a docker image to the launch options?

You can set it per container with -e CLEARML_AGENT_SKIP_PIP_VENV_INSTALL=1
Or add it here:
