I use PyCharm 2023.1.2 (Professional Edition) and it doesn't work like this. The interface is different and it's not run in container...

Hi Paul. I've got a remote interpreter setup for Docker Compose and I can run my FastAPI app as well as debug it. However, in my source code I've still got "red squiggles" under modules and basic things like str, dict, etc. What am I missing to resolve that?
Thanks!
Doug

Is there a way to use SSH and select an interpreter installed via conda on the remote machine?

[dougkfarrell]

By the way, this is SUPER helpful video!

[dougkfarrell]

Can you also show me how to set up a remote interpreter for a Docker Compose system that runs a FastAPI container and a DB container that can be debugged with breakpoints?

TYhis is PyCharm Pro only, right? The community version doesn't have this?
How about DataSpell? Does DataSpell have this feature?

[carlfranz]

I'm assuming this is the paid version as the free version doesn't have these options. Instead of the gear icon it merely has "Local Interpreter'. Whereas VSCode can actually do remote editing and execution.

There a way to debug a docker container running in a remote docker?

[mehmetbakideniz]

how do I stop the pod? under manage, I see the pod running but I can only terminate it. I can not stop it. Do you know any solution for this?

[tinnguyencong]

I am using the docker interpreter. Every time I rerun my code, it initializes a new container. Is there any way to reuse a container without creating a new one?

[ybmnziz]

All I get is unsupported interpreter :( :( :( And for some reason I cant select select a python virtual environment. Only the system interpreter. I know the requirements are not the same in the container as they are in the my requirements list . My guess is thats the issue...

hey people, at 13:34 in my python i do not have wsl.exe visible when I check for shell path`s how can I fix it anyone can help me ?

[simonec]

How can i run the code inside an existing container without creating a new one?

[StanislavVasko]

Do you plan update in 2022? Or 2021.x stays whole year?

[Tony_Sol]

All i get with docker compose is freaking me out "python: can't open file [Errno 2] No such file or directory" and nothing more!

[timboehm]

Paul, when I successfully create my remote SSH interpreter, every time I start Pycharm it wants to create a helper directory on my remote server's /tmp directory to the tune of 2GB !! Is there anyway to stop this?

[jhodjlc]

Hey, but I dont see SSH interpreter option...
All I can see are below options in Add Python Interpreter ...
1) Virtua Env
2) Conda Env
3) Sys Inter
4) Pipenv Envi
6) Poetry Env

docker and docker-compose still so raw, issue on their tracker from 2022 with debug problems and nobody cares ;/

[bubbel]

Requested setting LOGGING_CONFIG, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings. I cant migrate
