遇到了同样的问题，请问解决了嘛？

[ERROR] Code: Agent.SeekDB.Not.Exists, Message: initialize failed: init agent failed: SeekDB not exists in current directory. Please initialize seekdb first.

似乎是因为初始化失败导致的。

I also encountered the same problem

[hnwyllmm]

If you started seekdb container failed with command like '-v ./data:/var/lib/oceanbase', you may fix the problem by executing the command below:

docker run -d \
  --name seekdb \
  -p 2881:2881 \
  -p 2886:2886 \
  oceanbase/seekdb:latest

Mounting volume may cause some problems.
