Request for Alternative Solution for Docker Dependency on Restricted Servers

[makoisgod]

Hello,

I am currently trying to deploy AutoAgent on a shared Ubuntu server, but I do not have sufficient permissions to pull Docker images, as the server restricts Docker usage.

Is there an alternative solution to using Docker that would allow me to run AutoAgent on a server without requiring sudo permissions?
Specifically, I am considering using Singularity that does not require elevated privileges.

Would you be able to provide guidance on how to proceed with such an approach or if there are any existing methods for non-root users to run AutoAgent?

Thank you for your help!

@makoisgod just curious what's the restriction, you can't install any system packages, or can't connect to Docker's registry or what?

Not sure if this is immediately useful, but things like https://distrobox.it/ and https://podman.io/ might be useful, some way to start up a small VM and run Docker inside of it.

Thanks for the update! I've dealt with the docker availability issue and am trying to use on one of my little project;
However when I try to use Autoagent to perform a data analysis (A 4GB .csv format dataset), I get following issues:

First, while using user mode, autoagent cant access the data, even if the data is in its workplace (which I manually uploaded to docker cause I'm using Windows os),
log :

Second， when using agent editor mode, autoagent cant list tools and replied with "Failed to list tools. Error: Failed to list tools. The MetaChain is not installed in editable mode." and return error

I'm currently thinking that one of the problem might be Autoagent's innate tools can not open .csv files? Maybe I'll have to convert my data to PDF format? Anyway these are some problems that I'm currently faced with. Thanks if you can provide any valuable insight on these!
