Fiddler hosted at: http://localhost:4100

4.Optionally, the service can support HTTPS access over port 443. This can be enabled by providing appropriate TLS certificate during startup:

Directory Structure

Under the fiddler directory, you’ll see a repo directory containing the onebox directory. The onebox directory contains project directories (e.g. bank_churn, iris_classification, lending). It also contains dataset directories, found within datasets (e.g. p2p_loans, winequality).

Commands

   $ cd samples
   $ ./deploy

Fiddler Onebox comes with pre-loaded samples. If samples don't exist, then run the above command to imports all dataset and models to Fiddler

Accessing the UI

You can access the Fiddler UI locally with Onebox using http://localhost:4100.

You will be prompted to log in. Use the following credentials:

  • Username: [email protected]
  • Default password: xai/4u
    * You can change the password in Settings → General.

Once user logs into fiddler, a home page appears as seen in the below screenshot.

Upgrade

If you’re upgrading from an older Onebox solution and you want to transfer all your data and model changes to the new version, follow these steps:

  1. Copy your local fiddler folder to a new folder called fiddler-backup.
  2. Follow the steps in the Setup section above to install the latest version of Onebox.
  3. Copy the license.key file from your new fiddler/repo/onebox/common folder and put it in a safe place.
  4. Delete the repo and data directories from your new fiddler directory.
  5. Copy the repo and data directories from your fiddler-backup directory into your new fiddler directory.
  6. Replace the license.key file in your repo/onebox/common folder with the copy that you saved in step 3.
  7. (Optional) If you want to save space, you can delete the fiddler-backup directory.

Server Setup

Please run the following commands or equivalent depending on where Fiddler is running. These instructions are for an AWS EC2 instance.

Once the EC2 instance is successfully started, SSH into the machine.

ssh -i "../deploy/secret/fiddler-service.pem" \
   ec2-user@ec2-<--ipaddress-->.<region>.compute.amazonaws.com

Perform the yum update, followed by installing docker and adding your user to the docker group:

sudo yum update -y
sudo amazon-linux-extras install docker
sudo service docker start
sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user

Next, install nc

sudo yum install nc

Log out and SSH into the machine again, then run the following commands:

docker info
docker images
