Hello I Was Asked To Bring Up A Clearml Server On Our System. We Do Not Use Any Of The Cloud Options And Not Use Docker As Well

Hello

I was asked to bring up a clearML server on our system. We do not use any of the cloud options and not use docker as well 🙂 . On most of the services I had to bring up there were instructions for manual installation, but for clearML there isn't.
Before I'm trying to look into all the docker images and find out what I have to run, I would like to know if there are any instructions? or is there any one who did it before?
Since we have an elasticsearch server and redis server as well I guess I need instructions for the webui and api only. Am I right?

Thanks!

Hi CheekyToad28 ,

None of the options https://clear.ml/docs/latest/docs/deploying_clearml/clearml_server#deployment works for you?

Hi TimelyPenguin76

The only option for Linux is prebuilt docker image, which I cannot use on our system.

Well, installing t manually would require a lot of work, including building the angular app, and installing various requirements for the different servers (apiserver, fileserver etc.) - without docker, each should be run in it's own virtual python environment

Also, you can simply install a VM and install the docker image inside...

I'm here back to say that I was able to bring up clearML w/o docker. I told the lab to test it in order to see if it functions properly.
The process was:
creating the web interface by cloning clearml-web and building it. during the build I had to fix some paths, so I did and create a pull request to the original repository. I setup the apiBaseUrl and fileBaseUrl according to the location I use in the nginx.conf running the api server and the files server using uwsgi. In order to use other path from /opt/clearml I mad a little hack in the apiserver/config/basic.py and added another path for configs. running nginx server with uwsgi_pass to the socket files I used for the api and files servers (I prefer file socket over high ports)
Running redis, mongodb and elasticsearch locally made it easier since I didn't have to change the configuration of those. I guess I could use some environment variable on the uwsgi files.

Thanks you all

Hi SuccessfulKoala55
In case the code is using environment variable in runtime (such as CLEARML_CONFIG_DIR), I have to pass them on runtime. I can use "export" if I run it manually, or setup environment on the systemd file or setting them on the uwsgi configuration file.
Since I want it to run automatically when the system starts I have to set them on one of the service's configuration file.

Couldn't you simply prefix the command running at system startup with the env var, i.e. CLEARML_CONFIG_DIR=/my/path the-command-to-run ?

Hi CheekyToad28 , nice job 🙂

In order to use other path from /opt/clearml I mad a little hack in the apiserver/config/basic.py and added another path for configs.

This can be achieved using the CLEARML_CONFIG_DIR env var

I guess I could use some environment variable on the uwsgi files.

Out of curiosity, what would you need that var for, exactly, and what would it control?

You can try using the GCP VMDK, perhaps

Hi CheekyToad28 , any specific reason you can't use the prebuilt docker images?

SuccessfulKoala55 we are not using docker for security reasons. I'm trying to find a way to run the service using our system (it should run on our network) and not a stand-alone server on a VM which will need extra maintenance.
