is there documentation on how to use container tasks beyond https://docs.flyte.org/projects/cookbook/en/latest/auto/core/containerization/raw_container.html . I'm trying with the sandbox env but not having luck. I've heard that it depends on the SYS_PTRACE capability, which may depend on one's K8s setup
That might not even be the issue. I'm getting this screenshot when I try to run it
...with no logs
the task definition looks like this
Copy code
fastqc_raw = ContainerTask(
    name="fastqc_container",
    image="<http://docker.io/staphb/fastqc:latest|docker.io/staphb/fastqc:latest>",
    command=[
        "fastqc", "--version", ">", "/var/outputs/version"
    ],
    outputs=kwtypes(version=str),
    output_data_dir="/var/outputs",
)

@Zach Palchick, where did you hear about the need for 
SYS_PTRACE
? Can you replace the command you pass to the container with:
Copy code
command=[
        "sh",
        "-c",
        "fastqc --version | tee /var/outputs/version",
    ],

from Ketan, but I'll try what you have
same deal. No luck
e
interesting. Is this the only 
ContainerTask
in your workflow?
z
yeah

weird, I just tested this workflow in a brand new sandbox:
Copy code
from flytekit.core.task import task
from flytekit.core.workflow import workflow
from flytekit import ContainerTask, kwtypes, workflow

fastqc_raw = ContainerTask(
    name="fastqc_container",
    image="<http://docker.io/staphb/fastqc:latest|docker.io/staphb/fastqc:latest>",
    command=[
        "sh",
        "-c",
        "fastqc --version | tee /var/outputs/version",
    ],
    outputs=kwtypes(version=str),
    output_data_dir="/var/outputs",
)

@workflow
def wf() -> str:
    return fastqc_raw()
z
hmm, that is weird. Let me try verbatim what you are doing. It would be nice if there was something else going on

ohh...interesting
that did work
that definitely raises some questions
ok, I've made some good progress here. Is there a way to get the raw container input type to be a flytefile? I want the command I call in the container to operate on a file I generate in a previous task
This doesn't work (perhaps unexpectedly) because the fast_qc file I think is just the s3 file path that I pass in from a previous task
Copy code
fastqc_raw = ContainerTask(
    name="fastqc_container",
    image="<http://docker.io/staphb/fastqc:latest|docker.io/staphb/fastqc:latest>",
    command=[
        "sh",
        "-c",
        "fastqc -t 1 -q -o /var/outputs/ /var/inputs/fastqc_file"
    ],
    input_data_dir="/var/inputs",
    inputs=kwtypes(fastqc_file=FlyteFile),
    outputs=kwtypes(out=FlyteDirectory),
    output_data_dir="/var/outputs",
)

@workflow
def wf(path: FlyteFile) -> FlyteDirectory:
    return fastqc_raw(fastqc_file=path)
e
Unfortunately 
FlyteFile
is a flytekit concept, so you'd have to pipe that into your raw container task (and use python to download the file locally). Another option is to have a script to download the file from s3 into your container prior to running 
fastqc
.
