Nginx not connecting to port 80 on docker

I have three issues in getting my Rasa X docker-compose set up running with a Rasa agent.

The first issue is that I receive this nginx error when starting the Rasa X logs:

SSL encryption is not used since no certificates were provided.

I have tried to restart docker with the following:

sudo systemctl stop docker
sudo systemctl start docker

Here is docker-compose ps:

I am not sure if this connection issue with nginx on docker is responsible for other errors I see in my logs, such as these pika errors:

Does anyone have any ideas about how to debug this?

I am running this docker-compose set up on a Google Cloud VM with standard http-server and https-server firewall tags allowed.

The problems above notwithstanding, I am successfully able to connect to Rasa X via my local browser, but I am not able to converse with my standard Rasa Open Source bot, whose data I have uploaded to rasa X (domain, nlu, stories) and whose action server I have successfully enabled in docker-compose.override.yml.

It seems to not be able to extract slots, and I don’t know why:

app_1              | 2020-03-15 21:43:33 ERROR    rasa_sdk.endpoint  - Failed to extract slot seenBefore with action count_episode
rasa-production_1  | /opt/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rasa/core/policies/keras_policy.py:265: FutureWarning: 'KerasPolicy' is deprecated and will be removed in version 2.0. Use 'TEDPolicy' instead.

rasa-production_1  | 2020-03-15 21:43:33 ERROR    rasa.core.actions.action  - Failed to extract slot seenBefore with action count_episode

The three errors I want to resolve in my logs are:

  1. the pika errors shown above
  1. the nginx message saying it won’t connect to with 80
  2. Rasa can’t extract slots on rasa x

Hi there @argideritzalpea.

The Nginx message is normal, no need to worry about it. The pika errors are also normal if they do not go on forever; while Rasa X is still setting up, until the server is running, the connection will not go through. So long as they go away when your Rasa X instance is up, that’s okay.

Sounds like you got Rasa X deployed alright.

Regarding your action server not being able to extract slots, can you replicate the story locally with different behavior? Have you checked the versions on your local version vs deployed version? It seems like you are still using deprecated behavior, perhaps due to an upgrade.

I am stuck in this phase? Any idea how to solve this?

@dearc do you have permission to assign things to port 80? You may have to run commands on exc or otherwise have administrator priveleges in order to do so .
