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?

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 )

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

Same result

can you try with

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

whats the clearml version you are using?

1.1.5 both locally and on Google Colab

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 ?

Same result

Sure. Just a sec.

You are adding this before your Task.init call?
