SharpDove45 you can programmatically control the configured server using https://allegro.ai/clearml/docs/rst/references/clearml_python_ref/task_module/task_task.html?highlight=set_credentials#clearml.task.Task.set_credentials

Hi SharpDove45

what 

 suggested about how it fails on bad/missing credentials

Yes, this is correct, since you specifically set the hosts worst case you will end up with wrong credentials 🙂

SharpDove45 FYI:
if you set the environment variable CLEARML_NO_DEFAULT_SERVER=1 , it will make sure never to default to the demo server

Yea, i tried CLEARML_NO_DEFAULT_SERVER=True and it didn’t work, i assumed it had something to do with my env setup which is a bit problematic, anyhow, assuming True is a valid value, i can see. what FrothyDog40 suggested about how it fails on bad/missing credentials 🙂

If the credentials don't provide access, the calls should fail (there's no fallback - just default values in place of empty configuration).
Notice you explicitly configure all hosts values, so you don't end up using a specific server for API access, and the default demo server for File server access...

I know, but if there’s an issue with the provided credentials, will it default to the demo server?
