[Bug]: Inconsistent start times when mounting to a local directory

[avi12]

Is there an existing issue for the same bug?

• I have checked the existing issues.

Describe the bug and reproduction steps

1. docker run -it --rm --pull=always `
    -e SANDBOX_RUNTIME_CONTAINER_IMAGE=docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/runtime:main-nikolaik `
    -e WORKSPACE_MOUNT_PATH="C:\repositories\extensions\youtube-time-manager" `
    -e LOG_ALL_EVENTS=true `
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock `
    -v C:/repositories/extensions/youtube-time-manager:/opt/workspace_base `
    -p 3000:3000 `
    --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway `
    --name openhands-app `
    docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/openhands:main

2. Start 127.0.0.1:3000
3. Make sure that the LLM is set up, in my case Claude 3.5 Sonnet
4. Send a text prompt
5. Initially it will say "waiting for client to become ready"
6. The time for it to start up and start sending the input via the API can equally to be 5 minutes or 50 minutes

Wow that's a massive difference 5 and 50 minutes.
When it takes a long time, are you able to determine what's happening based on the logs in the terminal?

[avi12]

Nope, when it's able to start it's pretty much at random for me

[avi12]

The agent randomly started a few minutes ago and that's the log I was able to capture

IDK what's happening anymore

vlc-record-2024-12-26-19h34m17s-2024-12-26.19-27-05.msedge.mp4-.mp4

this is the Docker image after it pulled from the main branch

[avi12]

@mamoodi Interestingly, whenever I build OpenHands from source and configure a local directory to be mounted, the agent only takes a brief moment to initialize, but in the Docker instance it feels like forever

[mamoodi]

Interesting. In the docker method, does it still take forever if you pull the runtime docker image before running the docker command?

For example:
docker pull docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/runtime:0.17-nikolaik
or
docker pull docker.all-hands.dev/all-hands-ai/runtime:main-nikolaik (If running main)
?

[avi12]

No, it takes a normal amount of time to pull the image and it only takes forever for the agent to start when I send my prompt
