@ancient-wolf-19325 Yes, I would like more details. How can I do this?

Sure thing! I'm looking through the available data to answer your question. Hold on a second... ⏳

flytectl

does not support mounting local drives directly when starting a demo cluster. You can manually start the sandbox container to achieve this. I would like more detail

To manually start the Flyte sandbox container and mount a local drive, you can bypass

flytectl

and use Docker commands directly. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Pull the Flyte Sandbox Image: First, ensure you have the Flyte sandbox image. You can pull it using Docker:

docker pull cr.flyte.org/flyteorg/flyte-sandbox-bundled:latest

2. Run the Docker Container with Volume Mount: Use the

docker run

command to start the sandbox container and mount your local directory. Replace

/path/to/local/dir

with the path you want to mount and

/path/in/container

with the path inside the container where you want it mounted.

docker run -d --name flyte-sandbox -v /path/to/local/dir:/path/in/container cr.flyte.org/flyteorg/flyte-sandbox-bundled:latest

3. Access the Container: You can now access the container and verify the mounted volume:

docker exec -it flyte-sandbox /bin/bash

4. Verify the Mount: Inside the container, navigate to

/path/in/container

to ensure your local directory is correctly mounted. This approach allows you to manually control the container setup and include any specific configurations you need, such as mounting local directories.

@ancient-wolf-19325 when I run "docker exec -it /flyte-sandbox /bin/bash" I get "Error response from daemon: Container is not running". What is wrong?

The error "Container is not running" indicates that the Flyte sandbox container has stopped or failed to start. Here are steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue: 1. Check Container Status: Run the following command to list all containers and check the status of the Flyte sandbox:

docker ps -a

2. Inspect Logs: If the container is stopped, inspect the logs to identify the cause of the failure:

docker logs flyte-sandbox

3. Restart the Container: If the issue is resolved, you can try restarting the container:

docker start flyte-sandbox

4. Check for Port Conflicts: Ensure that there are no port conflicts, especially with port 6443, which is commonly used by Kubernetes. You can check which process is using a port with:

sudo lsof -i:6443

5. Recreate the Container: If the container continues to fail, consider removing and recreating it:

docker rm flyte-sandbox
   docker run -d --name flyte-sandbox -v /path/to/local/dir:/path/in/container cr.flyte.org/flyteorg/flyte-sandbox-bundled:latest

@ancient-wolf-19325 when I run "docker ps -a" it prints that flyte-sandbox container exited. It doesn't' show any logs

If the Flyte sandbox container has exited and isn't showing any logs, you can try the following steps to diagnose and resolve the issue: 1. Inspect the Container for Exit Code: Check the exit code of the container to understand why it exited. Use the following command:

docker inspect flyte-sandbox --format='{{.State.ExitCode}}'

2. Check Docker Daemon Logs: Sometimes, the issue might be with the Docker daemon itself. Check the Docker daemon logs for any errors:

sudo journalctl -u docker.service

3. Recreate the Container with Debugging: Remove the existing container and recreate it with a different entrypoint to keep it running for debugging:

docker rm flyte-sandbox
   docker run -it --name flyte-sandbox --entrypoint /bin/bash cr.flyte.org/flyteorg/flyte-sandbox-bundled:latest

4. Verify Docker Resources: Ensure that Docker has sufficient resources allocated (e.g., memory, CPU). You can adjust these settings in Docker Desktop preferences. 5. Check for Port Conflicts: Ensure no other services are using the ports required by Flyte. You can use:

sudo lsof -i:6443

@ancient-wolf-19325 I recieve error "unable to start container process: exec: "/bin/bash": stat /bin/bash: no such file or directory: unknown." when I do "docker run"

The error "unable to start container process: exec: '/bin/bash': stat /bin/bash: no such file or directory: unknown" indicates that the

/bin/bash

shell is not available in the Flyte sandbox image. Here's how you can address this: 1. Use the Correct Entrypoint: Instead of using

/bin/bash

, try using

/bin/sh

or the default entrypoint of the container. You can start the container with an interactive shell using:

docker run -it --name flyte-sandbox --entrypoint /bin/sh cr.flyte.org/flyteorg/flyte-sandbox-bundled:latest

2. Check the Dockerfile: If you have access to the Dockerfile or documentation for the Flyte sandbox image, verify the available shells or entrypoints. 3. Verify the Image: Ensure you are using the correct and latest Flyte sandbox image. Pull the latest image to ensure you have the most recent version:

docker pull cr.flyte.org/flyteorg/flyte-sandbox-bundled:latest

4. Inspect the Image: You can inspect the image to see the available files and entrypoints:

docker image inspect cr.flyte.org/flyteorg/flyte-sandbox-bundled:latest

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please provide more details about the image or any custom configurations you are using. If this doesn't help, please reach out to the Flyte support team for further assistance. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.

@ancient-wolf-19325 doing "docker run -it --name flyte-sandbox --entrypoint /bin/sh cr.flyte.org/flyteorg/flyte-sandbox-bundled:latest" worked, Looks like I am now inside the container. What should I do next? How can I start the flyte cluster?

Once you are inside the Flyte sandbox container, you can start the Flyte cluster by following these steps: 1. Start Flyte Services: Inside the container, you need to start the Flyte services. Typically, this involves starting services like FlyteAdmin, FlytePropeller, and others. However, since you are using a pre-configured sandbox, these services might be managed by a script or entrypoint. Check if there is a script available to start all services, such as:

/entrypoint.sh

2. Verify Services: Ensure that all necessary services are running. You can check the status of services using:

ps aux

3. Access Flyte UI: Once the services are running, you should be able to access the Flyte UI at

http://localhost:30080/console

from your host machine. 4. Run Workflows: With the services running, you can now register and execute workflows using

pyflyte

or

flytectl

from your host machine. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, please let me know! Sources: - Flyte Sandbox Documentation 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.

@ancient-wolf-19325 there is no "/entrypoint.sh" script in the container. What should I do to start the Flyte services?

If there is no

/entrypoint.sh

script in the container, you can manually start the Flyte services by following these general steps: 1. Identify Service Start Commands: You need to know the commands to start each Flyte service (e.g., FlyteAdmin, FlytePropeller, FlyteConsole). These commands are typically specified in the Dockerfile or documentation for the Flyte sandbox image. 2. Start Services Manually: Use the appropriate commands to start each service. For example, you might need to start a service using a command like:

flyteadmin start
   flytepropeller start
   flyteconsole start

3. Check Service Status: After starting the services, verify that they are running correctly. You can use:

ps aux

4. Access Flyte UI: Once the services are running, you should be able to access the Flyte UI at

http://localhost:30080/console

from your host machine. 5. Consult Documentation: If you are unsure of the exact commands, consult the Flyte documentation or Dockerfile for the sandbox image to find the correct service start commands. If you need more specific guidance or encounter issues, please provide more details about the image or any custom configurations you are using.
