Unable to load data onto IBL ENV GUI

[antaramaj16]

I am having an issue with loading my data onto the IBL ENV GUI and I get these error messages:

Also here is the output folder with all of the things I want the GUI to open up:

I really need to fix this issue so that I can complete the histology alignment.

Hi,

Now I am running into even more errors after completely uninstalling and then reinstalling the iblenv

Hi @antaramaj16,
The openalyx DB is under major revision in preparation for upcoming data releases. Please expect some inconsistencies with the availability of the service and keep trying.
You can always check if openalyx is working by navigating to https://openalyx.internationalbrainlab.org you should see a login screen.

Hi, can I somehow use this as an external user and not an internal IBL env user?

[antaramaj16]

The link isn't working for me and also another person in the lab. Is there any way that I can open the GUI without accessing openalyx? I am not planning on using any of the datasets on there as I just want to simply upload my ephys files and the xyz probe points thing on the gui and align.

openalyx is our external/public DB and ONE has its credentials as default just so you can use it out of the box. Unfortunately, we still have to work on it to prepare the DB for receiving our data and some instability is to be expected.
We're working on it as we speak :| sorry for any inconvenience please be patient. Things should normalize early next week.

Regardig the ephysatlas @mayofaulkner is probably best suited to answer your question. There should be a way for it to run without access to alyx but it might not be implemented.

Thank you, I have removed the existing int-brain-lab folder on my local disk and I am now installing it again using the instructions for external users:
https://github.com/int-brain-lab/iblapps/wiki/1.-Installation

mkdir int-brain-lab
cd int-brain-lab

git clone https://github.com/int-brain-lab/ibllib.git --branch develop ibllib-repo
git clone https://github.com/int-brain-lab/iblapps.git --branch develop
git clone https://github.com/int-brain-lab/iblenv.git
git clone https://github.com/cortex-lab/phylib

conda config --set channel_priority false
conda env create -f ./iblenv/iblenv.yaml
conda activate iblenv
conda develop ./ibllib-repo
conda develop ./iblapps
conda develop ./phylib

I have a feeling that it may work with installing it again as an external user - that way I don't have to deal with the openalyx situation. But I would still like some help with this since I will likely run into an error at some point.

So I did the reinstalling successfully using the external user instructions + plus the GUI opened AND I was able to load in my data from a session. I am wondering about the source of the initial issue: was it because the openalyx system seemed down and then suddenly decided to work or by installing as an external user do I bypass this whole openalyx thing? Sorry for the questions. I anticipate this type of problem may happen again so I just want to be prepared for this.
