Can I run wandb offline?
If training occurs on an offline machine, use the following steps to upload results to the servers:
- Set the environment variable
WANDB_MODE=offline
to save metrics locally without an internet connection. - When ready to upload, run
wandb init
in your directory to set the project name. - Use
wandb sync YOUR_RUN_DIRECTORY
to transfer metrics to the cloud service and access results in the hosted web app.
To confirm the run is offline, check run.settings._offline
or run.settings.mode
after executing wandb.init()
.
