My rasa chatbot works fine on my local machine. My rasa version is: ```auto Rasa Version : 3.6.15 Minimum Compatible Version: 3.5.0 Rasa SDK Version : 3.6.2 Python Version : 3.9.18 Operating System : macOS-14.1.1-arm64-arm-64bit ``` My directory structure is: ```auto . ├── Dockerfile ├── config.yml ├── credentials.yml ├── data │ ├── nlu.yml │ ├── rules.yml │ └── stories.yml ├── domain.yml ├── endpoints.yml └── models └── 20231219-234027-gray-entropy.tar.gz ``` My docker file is: ```auto # Use an official Rasa image as a base image FROM python:3.9.18 # Set the working directory WORKDIR /app/rasa # Copy the contents of the current directory to the container COPY . . RUN pip install rasa==3.6.15 # Specify the command to run when the container starts CMD ["rasa","run", "--enable-api", "--cors", "*", "--debug"] ``` But whenever i dockerize my app it shows the log: _DEBUG rasa.core.policies.ted\_policy - Failed to load ABCMeta from model storage. Resource ‘train\_TEDPolicy3’ doesn’t exist._ _DEBUG root - No model server endpoint found after server start._ _INFO root - Enabling coroutine debugging. Loop id 187650336839136._ (just few logs which i found confusing) Mind you, the shell works, but it only gives default fallback responses. * * * **Edit1:** When I try to run the same configuration locally: ```auto conda create -n rasa3 python=3.9.18 ipython pip install rasa==3.6.15 ``` everything works fine. The rasa shell works as it should. The default response does not get triggered. Is there a problem with my docker python image? ---

@Ameybot where is your requirements.txt file in the docker ? Check some of my post related to docker and docker compose maybe it will help you. ---

There is no requirements.txt required in my case. Therefore I don’t have it. ---

I assume you are expecting the model to be copied into the image but Rasa isn’t finding it. Confirm that you have a model in the models directory before building the docker image. You can also use `dive` to look at the image file system to confirm that the model is in the models directory.
