Weights and Biases: Login and network errors

Question

I recently installed Weights and Biases (wandb) for recording the metrics of my machine learning projects. Everything worked fine when connected to wandb cloud instance or when I used a local docker image. Now, when I tried to access my local wandb instance from over the network, I started to get API error messages. However, I also noticed that wandb was trying to access my server using port 80, instead of 8080. I installed wandb client on a new cloud server and tried to access my server from there. Still, same error message shown below.

This error happens when I use the command: wandb login host=https://api.wandb.ai I have tried to delete the .netrc file where the api settings are stored and re-installed wandb. Still same error. Using wandb version 0.10.2 on Ubuntu 18.04; Also, tried downgrading to version 0.8.36, no change. If I try the command: wandb login --relogin, I get the same error.

Is there some way to reset wandb so it forgets all these settings, or to resolve this issue directly?

Many thanks

Best Regards,

Adeel

Answer 1

first make sure you have the package installed with pip install wandb

then use it to log in with wandb.login(APIKEY)

Answer 2

I'm an engineer at Weights & Biases-- would love to help get this issue resolved.

If you want to reset your settings, you can do the following:

1. Delete the appropriate entry from your .netrc file as you have already done.
2. Delete the wandb/settings file from where you are launching your scripts.

You can then visit this link: https://wandb.ai/authorize and copy your API key.

Then, run the following:

wandb login <API_KEY>

Once you've done this, you should be good to go. Please let me know if you still run into issues after running the steps above.
