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
