Where can I find the files generated by AutoGPT when using Docker?

[CaixetaValim]

I have ran AutoGPT using docker with the command line below
sudo docker-compose run --rm auto-gpt --gpt3only --continuous

After it finished, I couldn't find the files it generated as a response to my task.

I have entered Docker bash with this command
sudo docker exec -it new_auto_gpt_redis_1 bash

But I cannot find it anywhere.

How does AutoGPT works when it runs from a docker container? Where does it record its generated files?

I run the AutoGpt via docker desktop and was able to see my files inside my directory, but outside of workspace folder.

My problem is that there was no file in my local directory, neither I could find anything inside the container.

The files are inside the docker container. If you want them on your local machine you need to use some kind of persistent volume. For instance write them from home/appuser/auto_gpt_workspace to your local workspace. This can be done by adjusting the docker composite yml. Keep in mind that one of the purposes for running it in a docker is security and to not potentially contaminate your own system (when it for instance visit malicious sites and writes data etc..). However if you know what you're doing there is not harm. As a tip perhaps as a next step also write your ai assistant yml and auto gpt json to local, so you can easily resume the next time you run your docker.

@gnolem thank you for your assistance. I could not find anything inside my docker container, even if I search with "find" from the root dir.
I will try to point the saved file to local.
Any clue on what should be de full path inside the container that the files should be stored? Or maybe anything that I could search for to try to find the file?

From the top of my head: home/appuser/autogpt/auto_gpt_workspace or something along those lines...

ypu prefer docker over local? or pinecone? thanks in advance

@gnolem In my home dir there is nothing but
this folder /home/runner/work/redis-stack/redis-stack/build/Linux-ubuntu20.04-x86_64.redis-stack-server/etc/systemd/system (only one folder up to this last one
and inside it there is one file redis-stack-server.service

Well, I believe I lost the response, next thing I will try is to generate the files in my local dir.

Tks

"ypu prefer docker over local? or pinecone? thanks in advance"
@jorgpt I am using local Docker container, with Pinecone configured at .env.

Are the files saved to Pinecone? If so, I might have configured it incorrectly, bc I cannot find it there. 😞

make sure your docker is running, after that your files are gone, unless mounted to a persistent disk.
