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

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

Hi, sorry for the delay 😞

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

@<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

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?

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

Can you please attached the console output again?

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

@<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

clearml-agent daemon --foreground

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

@<1523701070390366208:profile|CostlyOstrich36>
What agent-services is doing on start up? Seems like something is preventing it from properly working. I already added a command to entrypoint to configure pip.conf since we have to use a trusted mirror to download python packages. Also I managed to connect local agent to ClearML server by using 127.0.0.1 host in credentials. Still no luck with remote agent

Console output of clearml-agent daemon --foreground ?

The terminal hangs on the command

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

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 ?

@<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 "

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

@<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
