Is clearml-init also has to connect to the ClearML server to successfully finish?

Yes, it verifies the credentials in the same way, and creates a clearml.conf file when done

@<1526734383564722176:profile|BoredBat47> the agent-services is probably not configured (it needs key and secret to the clearml server to be configured in the docker-compose)

I think so, yes

I managed to create clearml.conf file with clearml-agent init after fixing proxy problem. And now trying to run daemon with this conf file. I suspect something is missing from it since request validator fails with missing attribute

I looked through agent-services logs and found new error I haven't seen before:
clearml_agent: ERROR: Connection Error: it seems *api_server* is misconfigured. Is this the ClearML API server http://<my_ip>:8008 ?

Also services agent is not related to regular agent executions

What version of clearml and clearml-agent are you using, what OS? Can you add the line you're running for the agent?

Also, previous problem was in incorrect proxy configuration on agent machine

Console output of clearml-agent daemon --foreground ?

CostlyOstrich36 Any thoughts?

@<1523701087100473344:profile|SuccessfulKoala55>
So, I did it with debug and got this stacktrace error:
type_checker=validator.TYPE_CHECKER.redefine_many({
AttributeError: type object 'Draft4Validator' has no attribute 'TYPE_CHECKER'

Hi BoredBat47 , use the --foreground tag to see the logs 🙂

Can you try running clearml-agent --debug daemon --foreground ?

@<1523701087100473344:profile|SuccessfulKoala55> I provided following env vars:
CLEARML_HOST_IP: "<my_ip>"
CLEARML_WEB_HOST: " http://<my_ip>:8080 "
CLEARML_API_HOST: " http://<my_ip>:8008 "
CLEARML_FILES_HOST: " http://<my_ip>:8081 "
CLEARML_API_ACCESS_KEY: <my_access_key>
CLEARML_API_SECRET_KEY: <my_secret_key>
also I changed IP in entrypoint from apiserver:8008 to <my_ip>:8008

Yes, I run both commands from the same place — dedicated user on my worker machine. Is clearml-init also has to connect to the ClearML server to successfully finish?

But from what you're saying it seems like the agent simply cannot communicate with the server and what you see is simply the agent waiting indefinitely

CostlyOstrich36 Am I right I should also provide this URLS in agent-services section in docker-compose file?
CLEARML_HOST_IP: ${CLEARML_HOST_IP:-}
CLEARML_WEB_HOST: ${CLEARML_WEB_HOST:-}
CLEARML_API_HOST: http://apiserver:8008

but without -d

do you have this file in your home folder?

Sorry for bothering but I am really lost, I think I exhausted all my options. I really have no clue what is going on.

It works like I mentioned before: the terminal jumps on a new line and sits there, no output after that, nothing is happening in the console. But if you go to UI you see that "Last used" is updating

Actually the agent will use the default values for the agent section if you have a clearml.init file - what do you get if you run the agent like that?

What command did you use?

CostlyOstrich36 Seems like on my server agent-services container is missing. It's not running. Could it be the issue?

Hi, sorry for the delay 😞

Can you please attached the console output again?

clearml 1.9.0

When I run clearml-agent init I don't have a file prior to this. I tried running agent daemon with clearml.conf created by clearml-init but that doesn't work since it has no agent section, right? I know I can add it myself but I think clearml-agent init should function too
