May be create a Feature request on github ?

note: you will need to set the env var very early, before the first import clearml in your code

meanwhile, the SDK support CLEARML_CONFIG_FILE=/path
Not sure what is your use case, but if you want it to be dynamic, you can on-the-fly create the config file to /tmp for example and point to that in your code with

import os
os.environ['CLEARML_CONFIG_FILE']="/path"

import clearml

Hi BrightJellyfish46 , the agent does support this env var format (using the CLEARML_AGENT prefix), but the SDK does not

You may not be part of clearML... but do you know if there's any plan to support that config pattern? 12-factor style is so common nowadays that it feels odd not having it
