I can't save my progress when using docker

[blackpen55]

Unable to save AI names, roles, goals, and conversations when using docker. When running with start.bat, I was able to continue with the last settings.
How do I continue a conversation I had last time with Docker?

I found that setting WIPE_REDIS_ON_START=False in your .env made it ask if it should continue being whatever-it-was-last-timeGPT.
Not sure if that's what you're looking for.

Really? I didn't find any such message. When I used that command(docker-compose run --rm auto-gpt) in the cmd cmd.
I only found this:

Welcome to Auto-GPT! run with '--help' for more information.
Create an AI-Assistant: input '--manual' to enter manual mode.
Asking user via keyboard...
I want Auto-GPT to:

Of course, my memory is redis.

@blackpen55 try this too:

in your .env, enable the ai_settings file:

AI_SETTINGS_FILE=ai_settings.yaml

in your docker-compose.yml uncomment the bind volume line for this file:

version: "3.9"
services:
  auto-gpt:
    image: significantgravitas/auto-gpt
    depends_on:
      - redis
    env_file:
      - .env
    environment:
      MEMORY_BACKEND: ${MEMORY_BACKEND:-redis}
      REDIS_HOST: ${REDIS_HOST:-redis}
    profiles: ["exclude-from-up"]
    volumes:
      - ./auto_gpt_workspace:/app/autogpt/auto_gpt_workspace
      - ./data:/app/data
      ## allow auto-gpt to write logs to disk
      - ./logs:/app/logs
      ## uncomment following lines if you want to make use of these files
      ## you must have them existing in the same folder as this docker-compose.yml
      #- type: bind
      #  source: ./azure.yaml
      #  target: /app/azure.yaml
      - type: bind
        source: ./ai_settings.yaml
        target: /app/ai_settings.yaml
  redis:
    image: "redis/redis-stack-server:latest"

Create an ampty ai_settings.yaml file next to your docker-compose file.

Run you auto gpt, tell it to do something, you will notice it will populate the ai_settings with its goals and etc.
Next time it runs, it will ask if it should continue being that.

memory is the bottleneck of AutoGPT and chatGPT. The ability to summarize in own words and to retrive from those notes and to sort them...... Then to not forget how to retrive and ways to get to what you need when you forget anyway as a LLM. Hard. But not that hard. Just a matter of focusing on it.
