I am trying to deploy a Rasa server and RASA action server and it fails with the error ```auto 2023-08-21 13:38:47 INFO rasa_sdk.endpoint - Starting action endpoint server... 2023-08-21 13:38:47 ERROR rasa_sdk.executor - Failed to register package 'actions'. . . . File "/app/actions/botdb.py", line 4, in from rasa.core.tracker_store import TrackerStore ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rasa' ``` Content of my Docker Compose file ```auto version: '3.0' services: rasa: container_name: "rasa_server" user: root build: context: . volumes: - "./:/app" ports: - "5005:5005" action_server: image: rasa/rasa-sdk:latest restart: always volumes: - ./actions:/app/actions ports: - 5055 ``` Also the rasa server is up and I can confirm through postman ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/rasa/original/3X/3/d/3de236766d4bb73a120c996dd6b2645fb4d6872f.png) Kindly confirm what I might be doing wrong. Also, there’s no DockerFile in the actions folder and this is directory structure of my project. ```auto . ├── Dockerfile ├── README.md ├── actions │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── __pycache__ │ ├── actions.py │ └── botdb.py ├── config.yml ├── credentials.yml ├── data │ ├── nlu.yml │ ├── rules.yml │ └── stories.yml ├── docker-compose.yml ├── domain.yml ├── endpoints.yml ├── frontends │ ├── Dockerfile │ ├── index.html │ └── static ├── graph.html ├── models ├── runrasa.sh ├── tests └── test_stories.yml ``` ---

Just to add further update. I stumbled on this article [Rasa Assistant Docker Compose] ([GitHub - cskujawa/rasa-assistant](https://github.com/cskujawa/rasa-assistant)) and modified my Docker Compose file and encountered the same error. ```auto version: '3.7' services: # app: # build: # context: ./frontends # networks: # - admission-bot rasa: image: rasa/rasa:main-spacy-en container_name: rasa ports: - 5005:5005 volumes: - .:/app command: - run - --debug - --enable-api - --cors - "*" networks: - admission-bot rasa-action_server: build: context: . dockerfile: ./actions/Dockerfile image: rasa-action_server container_name: rasa-action-server working_dir: /app command: - start - --debug - --actions - actions - --cors - "*" networks: - admission-bot ports: - 5055:5055 volumes: - ./actions:/app/actions depends_on: - rasa networks: admission-bot: name: admission-bot driver: bridge ``` RASA SERVER IS UP ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/rasa/original/3X/a/9/a9094f0881501f323682a1c7ed1e1375159a72e9.png) RASA ACTION SERVER ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/rasa/original/3X/7/d/7d93cf4a54ed5e0dbc46e197750db573e2545a79.png) ---

Hello! I’m not quite proficient in rasa but I’ll tell you what I think. The error seems to be related to the missing package when you run container inside of docker. As far as I can see (I might be wrong) rasa.core is a part of rasa not rasa\_sdk. I’m not sure how to resolve the issue though but maybe you need to install dependencies while building the containers. In your original post you say that there’s no Dockerfile for actions, but in your modified docker-compose it looks like there’s a Dockerfile for action server. Could you maybe share the contents of your Dockerfiles? ---

Thanks for the reply @xxxwarrior . This is the `action-server` dockerfile ```auto # Extend the official Rasa SDK image FROM rasa/rasa-sdk:3.3.0 # Change back to root user to install dependencies USER root # To install packages from PyPI RUN pip install --no-cache-dir requests # Switch back to non-root to run code USER $user ``` ---

I’m not sure how to resolve your issue, for the sake of testing I would maybe try to install rasa package like you install requests there and see if it changes anything. ---

Glad that helped!
