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 Any thoughts?

clearml-agent daemon --foreground

BoredBat47 , can you add the logs?

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

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 "

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?

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

@<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?

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

Console output of clearml-agent init with no clearml.conf:
...
ClearML Hosts configuration:
Web App: None
API: None
File Store: None

Verifying credentials ...
Error: could not verify credentials: key=ak secret=sk
...
Console output of clearml-agent daemon --foreground with clearml.conf created by clearml-init is missing. No output.
...

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, previous problem was in incorrect proxy configuration on agent machine

The terminal hangs on the command

Console output of clearml-agent daemon --foreground ?

@<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)

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?

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

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

~/.local/bin/clearml-agent daemon --foreground

but without -d

Also services agent is not related to regular agent executions

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

I think so, yes

Can you please attached the console output again?

Hi, sorry for the delay 😞

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

@<1523701087100473344:profile|SuccessfulKoala55>
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
