Trying to set up wandb, I get the following error when running

```auto
wandb docker-run [docker run options] [IMAGE] bash

```

wandb: Couldn’t detect image argument, running command without the WANDB\_DOCKER env variable

The image loads as usual but I cannot access wandb.

Error presents even after deleting all docker run options.

Hi Camden, Just to confirm, did you use the WANDB\_DOCKER environment variable? In order to properly incorporate wandb to docker, this has to be set up properly.
