Rasa action server and duckling not running via docker compose

Getting Started with Rasa
1

Hi @nik202 , I have recently started to develop a chatbot using rasa and currently I am trying to talk to a bot using docker compose. I have set up a docker compose file, a docker file in the main folder and a docker file in the action folder. I have made sure that the action-server defined in the docker compose is same in the endpoints.yml file and followed the solution at- Unable to run Duckling server using docker-compose - Rasa Open Source - Rasa Community Forum.

When I run the docker compose file, the duckling, rasa server and action server starts but when I try to talk to the bot, the first error is “Failed to connect to duckling server” and also all the “action session” fails to start.

docker-compose.yml (772 Bytes) Dockerfile (255 Bytes) Dockerfile_Action (214 Bytes)

Error on starting shell is: ‘’’ ERROR rasa.core.actions.action - Failed to run custom action ‘action_session_start’. Couldn’t connect to the server at ‘http://action-server:5056/webhook’. Is the server running? Error: Cannot connect to host action-server:5056 ssl:default [Name or service not known] 2022-07-13 16:43:48 ERROR rasa.core.processor - Encountered an exception while running action ‘action_session_start’.Bot will continue, but the actions events are lost. Please check the logs of your action server for more information. ‘’’

‘’’ ERROR rasa.nlu.extractors.duckling_entity_extractor - Failed to connect to duckling http server. Make sure the duckling server is running/healthy/not stale and the proper host and port are set in the configuration. More information on how to run the server can be found on github: GitHub - facebook/duckling: Language, engine, and tooling for expressing, testing, and evaluating composable language rules on input strings. Error: HTTPConnectionPool(host=‘localhost’, port=8000): Max retries exceeded with url: /parse (Caused by NewConnectionError(‘<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f9d4c5ef490>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused’)) ‘’’

I am using Rasa version 2.2.9

Please give suggestions to enable my bot and let me know if any further information is required.

Thank you

@srishti why are you using 2.2.9 for any specific reason?

Hi @nik202, thank you for your reply. No specific reason for using rasa-2.2.9. I am trying to implement the bot from the git hub link: sumantas98/Financial-Services-Bot: :sparkles: This is an example chatbot demonstrating how to build AI assistants for financial services and banking. (github.com) so, because of the requirements file, that version gets installed.
