Well, the *task1.in.xml is an input file, therefore it will not contain any output.
The Python script should automatically look into the generated output files.

How are you using the container?
Are you using the IPython terminal? Or did you get an interactive shell via docker exec?

If you want to keep the result, you should mount some working directory inside the container, e.g. via docker run -v $PWD:/work ...

Thanks, it solved the locale problem but I still get no output from the simulation. The file "parm_spin_one_half.task1.in.xml" generated:

It seems the container is not setting the language properly.

Try running as:

docker run -p 8888:8888 -e LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" dolfim/alps:2.2b4-notebook

​Hello!

I'm running the ALPS docker container with IPython support (I have the last version of the container): 

docker run -p 8888:8888 dolfim/alps:2.2b4-notebook

I am trying to run the first example from the DMRG tutorial (http://alps.comp-phys.org/mediawiki/index.php/ALPS_2_Tutorials:DMRG-01_DMRG) but I encounter a problem related to the lines of the code which runs, writes and reads the simulation data (script at http://alps.comp-phys.org/static/tutorials2.2.0/dmrg-01-dmrg/spin_one_half.py)​. The script creates input files and task, but nothing more seems to happen and when trying to retrieve the output, there is just an empty list and thus I get an IndexError. Has anyone else encountered this problem? It should be reproducible with the Docker container.

Terminal output provided below. 

Thanks,
