It might be working for someone but not for me. Developing something good could be a farthest dream, even a basic model is not working.

Particularily, I tried using docker. This is strange that the steps provided below are incomplete:

> **[Building Rasa with Docker](https://legacy-docs.rasa.com/docs/core/docker_walkthrough/#id9)**
>
> Setup open source Rasa Core with Docker in your own infrastructure for on
> premise contextual AI assistants and chatbots.

It gives below error: Exception: Failed to load domain specification from ‘/app/models/domain.yml’. File not found!

There are many people asking same question but no good answer provided. Please help.

Hi @stripadba,

part of the problem might be that the documentation for Docker seems to be outdated. Some time ago, Rasa Core and Rasa NLU were merged and the wording inside might lead you in a wrong direction.

As a workaround, I suggest you use an [official Ubuntu image](https://hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu/) and derive your own environment from it. Since you are emulating a fully packged Unix system, Rasa installation and configuration could easily be done via the Dockerfile.

A good starting point might be the [official Rasa Dockerfile](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/blob/master/Dockerfile) but keep in mind, that in my suggestion, there is no need to use rasa as an entrypoint.

If you want to follow the documentation however, you might need to use the official Dockefile and figure out, how to use it. Most of the commands seem to be accurate.

Kind regards  
Julian
