I understand, I'd just like to make sure if that's the root issue and there's no other bug, and if so then you can think of how to automate it via API

The value field is a default argo falls back into if i dont provide any

I had no issues deploying via the Github but helm is quite more confusing

Yeah i know.. thats what i did for the github implementation, but for this i need them to be generated on the fly or via CLI that i can use argo to create if thats possible

then share what i found

yes

Hey! @<1729671499981262848:profile|CooperativeKitten94> Is there any tips you can give me on this?

It seems like the most recent version supported for kubernetes is clearml-agent==1.9.2?

thanks again!

It's a bit hard for me to provide support here with the additional layer of Argo.
I assume the server is working fine and you can open the clearml UI and log in, right? If yes, would it be possible to extract the Agent part only, out of Argo, and proceed installing it through standard helm?

Hi, im trying to add the agent to a running server and facing the same issue.

Hi! Im using just a plain Kubernetes cluster (kubeadm) running on Proxmox VM, and im using Argo to deploy the helm, in order to standarize it Let me know if you need any more details!

Python regex error in k8s glue agent :

sre_constants.error: bad inline flags: cannot turn on global flag at position 92

• Issue is in clearml-agent k8s glue codebase (Python 3.6 compatibility)
• Not configuration-related - persists across different HOCON formats
• Affects image tags: 1.24-21 , 1.24-23 , latest

Hi @<1811208768843681792:profile|BraveGrasshopper38> , following up on your last message, are you running in an OpenShift k8s cluster?

Oh no worries, I understand 😄
Sure, if you could share the whole values and configs you're using to run both the server and agent that would be useful.
Also what about other Pods from the ClearML server, are there any other crash or similar error referring to a read-only filesystem? Are the server and agent installed on the same K8s node?
