Post your docker compose file, there might be an error in it.

How does your endpoints config look like? And What does the console output of rasa say?

Hi @Chaitanya, are you running on Windows? I was having the same problem when running Docker Toolbox on my Windows 8.1 The solution was to make a request to the ip of the Virtual Machine instead of localhost. you can use the `docker-machine ip` command to find it.

So if your ip is 192.168.99.100, your request would be: curl --request POST –url [http://192.168.99.100:5005/webhooks/rest/webhook](http://192.168.99.100:5005/webhooks/rest/webhook) –header ‘content-type: application/json’ –data ‘{ “message”: “hello” }’
