[Setup] mc: <ERROR> `config` is not a recognized command

[Didayolo]

Trying to run a local instance of Codabench gives me the following error:

codabench-createbuckets-1   | mc: <ERROR> `config` is not a recognized command. Get help using `--help` flag. 
codabench-createbuckets-1   | + echo ...waiting...
codabench-createbuckets-1   | + sleep 5
codabench-createbuckets-1   | ...waiting...
codabench-createbuckets-1   | + /usr/bin/mc config host add minio_docker http://minio:9000 testkey testsecret
codabench-createbuckets-1   | 
codabench-createbuckets-1   | mc: <ERROR> `config` is not a recognized command. Get help using `--help` flag. 
codabench-createbuckets-1   | + echo ...waiting...
codabench-createbuckets-1   | + sleep 5
codabench-createbuckets-1   | ...waiting...

This is triggered by the following line:

codabench/docker-compose.yml

Line 81 in dc19e4a

until /usr/bin/mc config host add minio_docker http://minio:$MINIO_PORT $MINIO_ACCESS_KEY $MINIO_SECRET_KEY && break; do

Looks like the mc config syntax is outdated (since 2022). mc config host add should be replaced by mc alias set. I will try this and give an update.

Not sure why this problem is only happening now in my local instance.

Indeed, I was able to solve the problem with this change.

Just to keep track of my troubles with local setup.

First problem

Static files not found, logos broken.
Needed to add DEBUG=True in .env file to solve it.

Second problem

Submissions return a server error. Error logs:

codabench-django-1          | botocore.exceptions.EndpointConnectionError: Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "http://127.0.0.1:9000/private/dataset/2025-07-14-1752514889/a2bca44fc422/sample_code_submission.zip"

Oh, it is probably because when trying to solve the first problem I changed the MinIO endpoint in the .env.

Fixing the endpoint I still get a server error but no more botocore exception.

---

Fresh install

I'll try a fresh Codabench install

--> Working but DEBUG=True seems to be necessary
