Hi @<1535069219354316800:profile|PerplexedRaccoon19>
What do you mean by simulate?
You can manually setup and run a Task if you need,
'clearml-agent execute --id task_id' add --docker for docker mode.
This will setup the env and run the task

Ohh if this is the case, you might also consider using offline mode, so there is no need for backend

I need to mock it - because I'm writing some unittests
