How long does it take to complete simulation within docker image?

[CrisCloseTheDoor]

Hi developers: I run the docker container, but it takes 13 hours and still doesn't finished. The information displayed is shown in the figure below. How long does it take through a complete simulation within docker?

My command: create the image

docker build --network host -f Dockerfile.submission . -t nuplan-evalservice-server:test.contestant

run the container

docker run --name nuplan-evalservice-server -d -v ./:/nuplan_devkit -p 9902:9902 nuplan-evalservice-server:test.contestant

Is that program just waiting for something, not running simulation?

Hi @CrisCloseTheDoor! You need two containers running at the same time, one running the trajectory computation server (i.e. your planner) and one running the simulation (reading your trajectory and providing the next observation). You only ran the trajectory computation one.

I would suggest you to use the docker-compose file to simplify starting the simulation.

If all goes well, you should see the ouput of the simulation as if you were running the script outside Docker (with some additional info saying which service is producing the messages)

You can find the related documentation here. I will close the issue, feel free to re-open if you encounter problems! :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for your reply. I use the docker-compose up --build command, however, when images are built, error occures:

It looks like when simulation is running the conda environment isn't actived, because 'hydra' is lost...

@CrisCloseTheDoor Can you open a new issue with this and assign it to me (or ping me)? Just for better tracking, I'll look into it.
