This is a description of RayG's attempt to set up local training on Windows 10

-------------------------------------------------
Setting up DeepRacer Local Training on Windows 10
-------------------------------------------------

RayG - 20190712
- Adapted from instructions found in:
  - https://github.com/crr0004/deepracer/blob/master/README.md
  - https://gist.github.com/joezen777/6657bbe2bd4add5d1cdbd44db9761edb
- Assumption is that the starting point is a fresh Win10 installation

-------------------------------------------------


0. Pre-install Prep
   - Make sure "Virtualization Technology" is enabled in BIOS
     - Eg., under Advanced > CPU > Intel (VMX) Virtualization Technology" > Enabled
   - Check that Win10 build is 16215 or later
     - Settings > System > About

1. Enable Windows Subsystem for Linux
   - Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
     Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
   - Reboot as prompted

2. Open the Microsoft Store and search for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS > Get
   - Upon installation, click Launch (a Console window will open)
   - Enter new Unix username / password to create new account
     - This user account is for the non-admin user that will be logged-in by default when launching Ubuntu
     - When elevating a process using sudo, you will need to enter the above password

3. Update and upgrade Ubuntu packages (henceforth we'll refer to Ubuntu as WSL)
   - sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

4. Prep for installing Docker in WSL
   - sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common
   - curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
   - sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable"
   - sudo apt update
   - apt-cache policy docker-ce

5. Install Python and PIP in WSL
   - sudo apt-get install -y python python-pip

6. Install Docker in WSL
   - sudo apt install docker-ce
   - sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
   - Exit terminal and reopen a new WSL terminal

7. Install Docker Compose
   - pip install --user docker-compose

8. Install Docker Desktop for Windows in Win10
   - https://hub.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows
   - During setup, don't select the checkbox "use Windows containers instead of Linux containers"
   - There will be at least 2 restarts after that

9. Expose Docker daemon on localhost without TLS
   - Docker settings > General > Enable "Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375 without TLS"

10. Configure WSL to connect to Docker for Windows
   - Open WSL Terminal
   - echo "export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://localhost:2375" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

11. Verify that Docker works in WSL
   - docker info
   - docker-compose.exe --version

12. Bind custom mount points in WSL to fix Docker for Windows and WSL differences
   - sudo mkdir /c
   - echo "sudo mount --bind /mnt/c /c" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
   - Repeat above commands for any drives that we want shared, such as d or e, etc.
   - Exit and reopen WSL terminal (may now require password upon launching terminal due to the sudo command)

13. Allow our user to bind a mount without root password in WSL
   - sudo visudo
   - Go to the bottom of the file and add this line (replace “xxx” with our username):
     xxx ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/mount
   - Save and exit
   - Close and reopen WSL terminal to test that password is now not required

14. Setup nameservers required to connect to Docker registry in Docker for Windows
    - Go to Docker Icon in System Tray > Settings > Network > DNS Server
    - Change from Automatic to Fixed: 8.8.8.8
    - Wait for Docker to restart

15. Do a sanity check in WSL:
    - docker run hello-world

16. Clone crr0004's DeepRacer repo
    - Close and reopen WSL terminal
    - git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/crr0004/deepracer.git

17. Download and start up minio
    - wget https://dl.min.io/server/minio/release/linux-amd64/minio
    - chmod +x minio
    - cd deepracer/rl_coach
    - Edit env.sh
      - Replace $(hostname -i) with actual IP address of machine, save and exit
    - source ./env.sh
    - cd ~
    - ./minio server data

18. Create bucket in minio Web UI
    - From browser in Win10, go to http://127.0.0.1:9000/
      - Default password is minio / miniokey
    - Create a bucket named bucket through the minio Web UI ("+" button at bottom right)

19. Setup default custom_files in WSL
    - Open a new WSL terminal
    - cd deepracer
    - cp -rp custom_files ../data/bucket/
    - Refresh the minio Web UI to check that "custom_files" folder has been created with 2 files

20. Setup Sagemaker in WSL
    - sudo apt-get install python3-venv
    - cd ~/deepracer/rl_coach/
    - source ./env.sh
    - cd ..
    - python3 -m venv sagemaker_venv
    - source sagemaker_venv/bin/activate
    - pip install -U sagemaker-python-sdk/ awscli pandas
    - pip install urllib3==1.24.3
    - pip install PyYAML==3.13
    - pip install ipython
    - pip install sagemaker-containers
    - Check that version of python is 3.6.x: python --version
    - sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev (or whatever python version it was from above)
    - docker pull crr0004/sagemaker-rl-tensorflow:console
    - mkdir -p ~/.sagemaker && cp config.yaml ~/.sagemaker
    - mkdir ~/robo
    - mkdir ~/robo/container
    - cd ~/deepracer/rl_coach/
    - Edit rl_deepracer_coach_robomaker.py, replace 127.0.0.1 with actual IP address of machine, save and exit

21. Moment of truth for Sagemaker in WSL
    - cd ~/deepracer/rl_coach/
    - python rl_deepracer_coach_robomaker.py


Unfortunately, the run Failed... with errors shown below, and I'm stuck here:
