the machine has multiple accounts, is it possible it’s picking up the settings from some other user’s clearml.conf ?

it’s the same one as before

Could be. If it's not picking what you expect then it means something is misconfigured

why is it specifically asking for that .cfg file?

what I was expecting it to do was create a new file from the host clearml.conf

I deleted the file in the tmp folder and now I get this error:
clearml_agent: ERROR: Could not open configuration file: /tmp/.clearml_agent.1xfib73d.cfg

but it’s not, for example the agent.git_user is a different value in actual clearml.conf vs the one that’s actually getting picked up by the container

I then compose down’ed the containers and up’ed them

still same problem

I have to kill the current clearml-agent processes and call daemon for the changes to take effect

This is inside the container on the machine running the agent. It is taking the configurations as a basis from the local clearml.conf

@<1772433273633378304:profile|VexedWoodpecker50> , I think there is some misconfiguration or misunderstanding. Can you elaborate on how you set up the server and worker?

this problem has been solved, the solution was this: None
