Hi @Paopasatiht, Thank you for reporting this issue. Can you share the error trace you get when you use docker build?

Ok the problem is that dependencies now listed in requirements.txt are not available on ubuntu 18.04, which is used as base docker image. I have to upgrade the build. Note that it also requires an upgrade of default EnergyPlus version used in the image (Ubuntu 20.04 supported only from EnergyPlus 9.4.0 and onwards).

I config the Dockerfile like this to make it become version 9.5 link is down below but I still find the error like this: https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/releases/download/v9.5.0/EnergyPlus-9.5.0-de239b2e5f-Linux-Ubuntu20.04-x86_64.sh

this is my error.

[antoine-galataud]

@Paopasatiht I've worked on a new version of the Dockerfile that uses EnergyPlus 9.5 and Ubuntu 20.04. I've been able to successfully build it and run an experiment in a container.

Please give it a try:

cd rl-testbed-for-energyplus
git pull
docker build . -f docker/Dockerfile -t rl-testbed-for-energyplus

now i found this error after use your code @antoine-galataud :

[antoine-galataud]

@Paopasatiht are you sure this was built only from master sources? Or did you use a special EnergyPlus version / download url? The error message isn’t very explicit so hard to tell what failed.

@antoine-galataud I make a little vdo to show you what I have done you can click the link down below to watch it https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k_ZCnD36bqxIIcRP3pRSI0AfNxKVdFnx/view?usp=sharing

key point:

• using anaconda to create venv (name pytorch)
• git clone
• check the docker file
• run docker build
• found error to install mpi4py

[antoine-galataud]

@Paopasatiht thank you for taking some time to reproduce. I believe the problem is because we try to install mpi4py both as a distribution package and a pip package. I’ll test a fix tomorrow but removing python-mpi4py package from apt install in stage 2 should be enough. I’ll keep you posted.

[antoine-galataud]

@Paopasatiht Hi! I've fixed the Dockerfile, would you mind giving it a new try? (don't forget to pull the master branch first)

[Paopasatiht]

@antoine-galataud it's finally work now. thankyou so much for your help.

[antoine-galataud]

@Paopasatiht great news!
