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

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

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

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 ?

Hi, sorry for the delay 😞

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

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

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

The strange thing also is that I see that the credentials are being used in web UI: last used timestamp is updated constantly to present time. So apparently daemon is trying to do something but can't launch properly all the way

CostlyOstrich36 Any thoughts?

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?

@<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'

clearml 1.9.0
clearml-agent 1.5.1
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="18.04.6 LTS (Bionic Beaver)"

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

I think so, yes

clearml-agent daemon --foreground

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

Sorry, forgot to mention. I used the command with --foreground tag. It is the same. Terminal just sits at a new line, no logs, no worker in UI

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

Can you please attached the console output again?

CostlyOstrich36 Yep, it seems it was the case. I did not provide credentials for API in docker compose. I did that but now agent-services just keeps restarting. I looked into containers logs and it seems to be a proxy error. Why this container is trying to connect somewhere?

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

What command did you use?

@<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?

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

BoredBat47 what did you provide in the docker-compose to the services agent?
Also, you said that clearml-init worked but clearml-agent init did not - did you run both from the same place?

@<1523701070390366208:profile|CostlyOstrich36>
Should I leave as is or fill the values in docker-compose for agent-services? I set it to localhost since agent-services is running together with other clearml containers on one machine. Not sure why do you have to fill those values.
CLEARML_HOST_IP: "<my_clearml_server_ip>"
CLEARML_WEB_HOST: " None "
CLEARML_API_HOST: " None "
CLEARML_FILES_HOST: " None "
