I think I understand now that I first need to have clearml server up and running.

Yeah, ClearML CLI tools and SDK always rely on a ClearML Server

I have the server running now and for now it seems that I'm able to get the dataset even in the other file. I'll mess around with it now to get a hang of it and see how it actually works

Then I can use ClearML-Data with it properly.

I think I understand now that I first need to have clearml server up and running.

VexedCat68 this looks like the SDK code simply can't get to the server, which implies, as CostlyOstrich36 suggested, that your clearml.conf file is not properly configured, or that there's a FW issue when connecting to the server

VexedCat68 , how is your ~/clearml.conf configured? And is there any chance you were having network problems at the time you tried to run it?

keeps retrying and failing when I use Dataset.get

Retrying (Retry(total=239, connect=239, read=240, redirect=240, status=240)) after connection broken by 'NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fb2191dcaf0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused')': /auth.login

I was getting a different error when I posted this question. Now i'm just getting this connection error

Hi VexedCat68 , what is the error that you're receiving? Do you have a print of it by chance? Also what are you trying to do with 'File 2'?
