I have a RASA bot version 2.8.12 and I tried deploying it over Heroku using Docker. The image was about 2.4GB in size and took some time to compile and get pushed to Heroku. Even after going through this painful process When I tried pinging the API endpoint with messages I was always receiving an empty array as response.

I really want to get the bot deployed. It would be of great help.

Here’s my dockerfile:

```auto
FROM ubuntu:18.04

ENTRYPOINT []

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip && python3 -m \

 pip install --no-cache --upgrade pip && pip3 install --no-cache rasa==2.8.12

COPY . /chatbot

RUN chmod +x /chatbot/start_services.sh

CMD /chatbot/start_services.sh

```
