The docker container doesn't work out of the box

🐛 Bug

Hello, First of all, thank you very much for the creazy amount of work put into this.

Currently, it seems like the docker setup fails. I get this message : Aborted! '/opt/aim' is not a valid Aim repository. Do you want to initialize it? [y/N]:

To reproduce

docker run -d -p 43800:43800 -v /testFolder:/opt/aim aimstack/aim

Expected behavior

The container running and listening on port 43800

Environment

• Aim Version (e.g., 3.0.1) : None
• Python version : None
• pip version : None
• OS (e.g., Linux) : Ubuntu 22.04
• Any other relevant information Latest Docker image

Additional context

Is there a way to add a yes to everything paramter (something like apt-get install -y)?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hello, I had a deeper look. So I wanted to setup an aimstack instance on a machine then have other machines send data to it. If my understunding is good, there needs to be a server receiveing the data, writing it to the right folder. Then a docker ui displaying this data.

After creating a folder then doing a : aim init then running the docker containers with a volume linked to the initialised folder. It now runs without any error. But for some reason, I can’t get anything display on web browser. I get the connexion was reinnitialised.

It seems like the Docker part is not yet stable, I will limit my self to a locally hosted server and ui even if it’s not the best solution.

To answer your question, I wanted to track all experiments on a server and have training on a different server. I run the training in a normal python script not in a docker.

Thank you still for your answers and work !

Best regards, Ilias.

Hello, Thank you for the fast reply. I see what the problem is (I will test it as soon as I have access to a computer). There needs to be an initialised aim on the host, so in my case :

• Go to /testFolder
• aim unit
• Start the docker pointing at /testFolder

But what if I can’t install aim in the host? How can I init it without?

Thanks again!
