How to set endpoints.yml when running custom action docker and rasa docker

Rasa Open Source

Hi, community

Assume I build an action docker my/app, and I’m also running rasa/rasa:1.7.0-full as docker run -it -v $(pwd):/app rasa/rasa:1.7.0-full shell on the same instance, then how to set endpoints.yml? What should I change the “localhost” to?

action_endpoint:
  url: "http://localhost:5055/webhook"

Thanks,

I am also interested in this.

My opinion, you better use a docker-compose file to name, run and manage your services.

I run a RASA container and an actionserver container on the same network. In the endpoint.yml the configuration is

http://actionserver:5055/webhook

actionserver is the name of the container.

You’re right. We can either use docker-compose or use docker alone to do it. I’ve solved my case as below: Asume you have my/app and my/rasa dockers, to connect two containers on the same machine:

  1. create a docker bridge network “rasa-network”, as

docker network create rasa-network

  1. connect rasa and action containers to this bridge network when start them, as

docker run --name action --network rasa-network my/app

and

docker run -it --name run --network rasa-network -v $(pwd):/app my/rasa shell

  1. edit your endpoints.yml, as
http://action:5055/webhook

Basically, docker containers can access each other’s services by the name of container as long as they are connceted to the bridge network you pre-defined.

Would you recommend your solution @yiouyou if I’m trying to build everything on AWS ECS?

Yes. It works for me. Hope it suits your case.
