Hi GleamingGrasshopper63 ,

ClearML will take you configuration from ~/clearml.conf file (so it should use the file if you are root user). You can also configure env var for you auth and api work:

export CLEARML_API_HOST={api_server} export CLEARML_WEB_HOST={web_server} export CLEARML_FILES_HOST={files_server} export CLEARML_API_ACCESS_KEY={access_key} export CLEARML_API_SECRET_KEY={secret_key}Can you verify the configuration file location or try with the env vars?

Yes, I can verify the location, I'm uploading the file and then running:
! cp clearml.conf ~/clearml.conf

I also tried setting it with the library manually using
Task.set_credentials(web_host=web_server, api_host=api_server,files_host=files_server, key=access_key, secret=secret_key )

Same result

whats the clearml version you are using?

You are adding this before your Task.init call?

1.1.5 both locally and on Google Colab

can you try with

import os os.environ["CLEARML_CONFIG_FILE"] = "/root/clearml.conf"at the top?

Sure. Just a sec.

Same result

GleamingGrasshopper63 can you ping to your api server ?
!ping api.server.hereAlso what's the api server you configured ? (ip:8008 ?)
Any chance this is a Local machine, i.e. the colab machine cannot get back into the clearml server cunning locally ?
