Facing same issue

[darkanubis0100]

Enter into the "AgentGPT > Platform" container and type in the terminal "poetry install". Restart container and enjoy

[Hextar]

@darkanubis0100 I've tried running "poetry install" within the agentgpt_platform container but it still fails.

Steps:

• docker ps
• docker exec -it platform bash
• poetry install

[darkanubis0100]

@darkanubis0100 I've tried running "poetry install" within the agentgpt_platform container but it still fails.

Steps:

• docker ps
• docker exec -it <poetry_container_id> bash
• poetry install

But what you have not indicated is if you have already restarted the stack (Inside the AgentGPT folder type and execute "docker compose restart").

[Hextar]

Nice it works now!

Anyway weird platform/Dockerfile LOC 37 doesn't seem to be enough there

[Entretoize]

Thank you that works !

[Entretoize]

Finally just tried a fork and can't get it to work, same issue even after the trick... will retry with the original repo...

[beniseur]

Look at the server(platform) log on docker, for me was a httpx not found, just install it and now it works

[Entretoize]

I finally reinstalled docker as I had more and more issues. Everything works now. Thanks

I have installed AgentGPT on windows 11 via given instructions but i am getting Error "attempting to connect to the server" right after installation,

and on other side docker consuming 100% of hosts CPU which makes GUI very slow. there is no issue on login, settings also works fine but i am not sure whats wrong.

i am posting this after multiple restarts of docker, ubuntu including my laptop. Please suggest a solution.

Many Thanks

The problem of consumption in Docker is not something that corresponds to us in AgentGPT. Docker is separate software and we don't know under what circumstances this load happens to you.

Same issue here as well, any suggestions on diagnosing this issue?

Where is the "server(platform)" log?

[2004gixxer600]

Same here. Tried everything. Seems like a bug.

[rursache]

@darkanubis0100 I've tried running "poetry install" within the agentgpt_platform container but it still fails.

Steps:

• docker ps
• docker exec -it platform bash
• poetry install

worked for me on macOS, thanks

[itsanishjain]

I get this poetry error which I try to fix by using higher version but no succss, which version you guys are using?

I followed the instructions to update, but it didn't have any effect, and the error hasn't been resolved.
My system is CentOS 7, and the service is running with Docker. This error has almost driven me to the point of despair

[mikes-bowden]

I also have the same error and have tried all the suggested steps.

I also have an odd issue where it completely locks up my system after clicking Play. I'm running it in a VM on my local server. The CPU of that server is fine; it doesn't increase when the freezing happens.

The freezing goes away after I refresh the page, which takes around 3 minutes. Once it does, the lag or frozenness vanishes.

The freezing occurs in any browser I try.

[mikes-bowden]

New version is giving the same error.

[liangzhenbin1992]

when I enter my api key,it turns out:"FetchError: request to https://api.openai.com/v1/models failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 199.96.61.1:443".how can I solve this?

[wangrendong-yition]

same issue, and I tried

1. docker ps
2. docker exec -it <poetry_container_id> /bin/bash
3. poetry install
4. cd AgentGPT && docker-compose restart

tried on ubuntu20.04 and ubuntu22.04

nothing change, still got the error

What's even more weird is that the default environment used to run successfully, but suddenly it doesn't work when configured on a new PC

[Jarrodsz]

same error
s* bigtime wasting time trying it every now and again but no updates

[anatoliiohorodnyk]

• poetry install

For MacOS:

apt update
apt-get install pkg-config gcc
pip install --upgrade pip
pip wheel --use-pep517 "mysqlclient (==2.2.0)"
poetry install

After that restart agentgpt containers

[Jarrodsz]

Why is this not fixed.

It seems the opensource version is end of live.
Maybe it was a good strat to get the funding then build the commercial project.

harsh words but no live for the opensource version anymore..

latest release november

[danwebflow]

Works for Windows:

Install as normal,

Open docker:
docker ps
docker exec -it platform bash
apt update
apt-get install pkg-config gcc
pip install --upgrade pip
pip wheel --use-pep517 "mysqlclient (==2.2.0)"
poetry install

Then run exit and type docker compose restart

#1499
This may be the last chance to try if all of above not solving the issue.

[ctxzz]

For MacOS:

1. Enter into the "platform" container.

• docker ps
• docker exec -it platform bash

2. Install Poetry within the "platform" container.

• apt update
• apt-get install pkg-config gcc
• pip install --upgrade pip
• pip wheel --use-pep517 "mysqlclient (==2.2.0)"
• poetry install

3. Restart docker-compose in AgentGPT folder.

• docker compose restart
