You are right. My colleague wrote it I think starting from the aws autoscaler.

I don't say I am expert in this thing, but does the autoscaler have different version than the clearml?

And are they the same tasks?

Are you using the OS autoscaler or the PRO version?

I have started the autoscaler with python? @<1523701070390366208:profile|CostlyOstrich36>

1) Make sure you pushed the requested commit:
(repository='git@github.com:iCardioAI/ai_dev.git', branch='mergetest', commit_id='b73e928267d027937f89ca80d21ad62357bacee5', tag='', docker_cmd='722044220531.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/models:training_image_tf2_13', entry_point='model_train_task.py', working_dir='clearml_tasks/model_training')
2) Check if remote-worker has valid credentials [see worker configuration file]

Does it get the previously cloned code and then git pull from there?

I'm not sure I understand this config, is this an autoscaler for GCP or AWS?

@<1523704674534821888:profile|SourLion48> , what versions of clearml , the autoscaler (latest commit?) and server you're using? Also, a configuration of the autoscaler would be helpful

The worker machines are on gcp

And are they the same tasks?

I mean if you were to run the 'failing' task first, it would run, correct?

they are different tasks. I start a new task but it can be same commit sometimes.

Hi @<1523704674534821888:profile|SourLion48> , making sure I understand - You push a job into a queue that an autoscaler is listening to. A machine is spun up by the autoscaler and takes the job and it runs. Afterwards during the idle time, you push another job to the same queue, it is picked up by the machine that was spun up by the autoscaler and that one will fail?

Where did you get this autoscaler? I don't think a GCP autoscaler was released in the open source

@<1523701070390366208:profile|CostlyOstrich36>

That is the configuration yaml.

Exactly, @<1523701070390366208:profile|CostlyOstrich36>

@<1523701070390366208:profile|CostlyOstrich36> I don't get that.

import yaml
from clearml.automation.auto_scaler import AutoScaler, ScalerConfig
from gcp_driver import GCPDriver

with open('gcp_autoscaler.yaml') as f:
    conf = yaml.load(f, Loader=yaml.SafeLoader)

    driver = GCPDriver.from_config(conf)

    conf = ScalerConfig.from_config(conf)
    autoscaler = AutoScaler(conf, driver)
    autoscaler.start()

That is the python code.

or can I put something like the following in clearml.conf?

cat << EOF >> ~/clearml.conf
agent.enable_git_ask_pass=true
agent.git_user="{GIT_USER}"
agent.git_pass="{GIT_PASSWORD}"

The

agent.git_user="{GIT_USER}"
agent.git_pass="{GIT_PASSWORD}"

already existed. I only added

`agent.enable_git_ask_pass=true

It is an autoscaler for gcp. I think, there are unnecessary configs that were used in aws.

Try to set agent.enable_git_ask_pass: true for the agent running inside the container, perhaps that will help

I didn't write this conf, but it works.

clearml==1.14.1
That is the version.

@<1523701070390366208:profile|CostlyOstrich36> I have been exploring. The problem seems to be when the docker container is using the cached dir.

Using cached repository in "/root/.clearml/vcs-cache/****.git.0081a6bc4d7afe6adde369e6aeab9406/****.git"

When inside that directory and tries to fetch, it asks for credentials. when it clones, it doesn't.

cloning: git@github.com:****/****.git
Using user/pass credentials - replacing ssh url 'git@github.com:****/****.git' with https url '

'

it uses cached repo when I start from an already started worker. It clones when it spins up a worker. The cloning and fetching happens in docker container for both cases.

The question is, how can I stop the cache so that it always clones the repo.

I don't think I am on the pro version, is that a paid one?
