So that I don’t loose what I worked on when stopping the session, and if I need to, I can ssh to the machine and directly access the content inside the user folder

Let's assume the host has a folder for all users for persistence storage, for example '/mnt/user_data/and you have a user named 'myuser' and a matching subfolder '/mnt/user_data/myuser
Then we can do:
clearml-session ... --docker "my_docker_image -v /mnt/user_data/:/host_mount/" --user-folder "/host_mount/myuser"BTW: The next time you call clearml-session these will become the default parameters, so no need to change anything 🙂

👍

So nvidia-container-toolkit and systemctl restart dockerd fixed it?

 you mean “docker” was not installed and it did not throw an error ?

Yes docker was not installed in the machine

Yes you must make sure the docker can mount a persistent folder for you to work on.

Ok, it would be nice to have a --user-folder-mounted that do the linking automatically

which ClearML agent version are you running?

Alright, how can I then mount a volume of the disk?

Yes, it works now! Yay!

Alright I have a followup question then: I used the param --user-folder “~/projects/my-project”, but any change I do is not reflected in this folder. I guess I am in the docker space, but this folder is not linked to my the folder on the machine. Is it possible to do so?

can you check the agent’s logs? maybe we can find something there

Can you try upgrade to the latest? pip install clearml-agent==0.17.2 ?

Yes docker was not installed in the machine

Okay make sense, we should definitely check that you have docker before starting the daemon 😉

Ok, it would be nice to have a --user-folder-mounted that do the linking automatically

It might be misleading if you are running on k8s cluster, where one cannot just -v mount volume...
What do you think?

So I installed docker, added user to group allowed to run docker (not to have to run with sudo, otherwise it fails), then ran these two commands and it worked

I got some progress TimelyPenguin76 , Now the task runs and I get the error from docker:
docker: Error response from daemon: could not select device driver "" with capabilities: [[gpu]].

not much info 😕

Can you manually run the docker ?

0.17.1

https://github.com/allegroai/clearml-agent.git@f019905720529acbd316bd39b67c5ab0c02fcd55 to be exact

I followed https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/issues/1034#issuecomment-520282450 and now it seems to be setting up properly

the first problem I had, that didn’t gave useful infos, was that docker was not installed in the agent machine x)

That didn’t gave useful infos, was that docker was not installed in the agent machine x)

JitteryCoyote63 you mean "docker" was not installed and it did not throw an error ?

But I see in the agent logs:
Executing: ['docker', 'run', '-t', '--gpus', '"device=0"', ...

Awesome! Thanks! 🙏

this is the last line, same a before

this is from the agent?

is there a command / file for that?

When you start the ClearML agent, the last line is the file for the agent’s output, for linux is should be something like:

Running CLEARML-AGENT daemon in background mode, writing stdout/stderr to /tmp/.clearml_agent_daemon_***.txt

from the ClearML UI

or the ClearML UI?

Let me check what's the easiest way to do that

Here are the logs of the agent :)
