Deploy evalai docker images by copying from another PC

Host challenge using github

Run docker from wsl

cd ~/evalai
docker-compose up

In case of errors:

  • ERROR: for nodejs UnixHTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=None): Read timed out. Restart docker service and rerun evalai: sudo service docker restart

Host challenge using gitlab

Create EvalAI-Starters project in gitlab

This project is hosted at github

Create a blank project at gitlab

#from a WSL image
git clone https://github.com/Cloud-CV/EvalAI-Starters.git
cd EvalAI-Starters
git remote rename origin origin-github
git remote add origin-gitlab git@gitlab.michelin.com:janus/EvalAI-Starters.git
git push -u origin-gitlab --all
git push -u origin-gitlab --tags

Create challenge using gitlab

  1. create a repo test_evalaifor challenge by importing from github

Create new project > Create from template > Sample GitLab Project > Use template

from github: clone evalai-starters

from gitlab: create new project > import project > GitHub > integrate token >

select EvalAI-Starters and named it janus/ test_evalai

import

go to project

  1. create project access token

repo test_evalai > settings > Access Tokens

Token name : evalai_user_auth_token

Create project access token

  1. setup host configuration

login as host (for the moment: host/password)

go to profile page, get your auth (eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ0b2tlbl90eXBlIjoicmVmcmVzaCIsImV4cCI6MTY5MDYyMDYxMywianRpIjoiOWVkOTU2YmU2ZTJkNDNmOWI3Y2M0YTZhOGQ1ODY3ZjIiLCJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyfQ.bO9wp7r17uct4KJbt9hixsOT4nzYAUr-wUZR6PHI0jw)

create a new team Host teams > Create a new team

Team Name: janus

ID is 34

and evalai host url is http://localhost:8888/

  1. setup automated update push

Create a branch with name challenge in the forked repository from the master branch. Note: Only changes in challenge branch will be synchronized with challenge on EvalAI.

Add evalai_user_auth_token and host_team_pk in github/host_config.json.

  1. update challenge details

Read EvalAI challenge creation documentation to know more about how you want to structure your challenge. Once you are ready, start making changes in the yaml file, HTML templates, evaluation script according to your need.

  1. push changes to the challenge

Here I have to move from github actions to gitlab jobs.

Let’s locally clone this repo

git clone git@gitlab.michelin.com:janus/test_evalai.git
cd test_evalai
git branch -a
git checkout challenge
