[Deprecated] Rasa X Community Edition

Dear community,

After installing Rasa X, I meet the errors as below:

root@iZZ:/etc/rasa# sudo docker-compose logs|grep -i error

Any idea what’s wrong? Thanks,

Hi @yiouyou ,

Sometimes it takes a litte while before all containers are up & running.

Are all the other containers up & running ?

What do you see when you do sudo docker ps -a ?

sudo docker-compose ps -a

sudo docker ps -a

I’ve been waiting for quite awhile, the problem is still there.

Were you able to solve this problem? Even I am facing this issue. The bot is not responding at all.

Issue has been solved. Some tips:

  1. The connection between rasa and rasa-x is based on docker’s bridge network. We should understand that first.

  2. Within the ‘rasa_default’ network, all containers are allowed to access each other by their service’s name, such as ‘app’.

  3. For beginners, don’t use the latest version, especially during the updating process. As I can remember, I used rasa/rasa:1.7.0-full and rasa/rasa-sdk:1.7.0 to build the custom rasa-x.

Hi @yiouyou Do you have an exact explanation for how this was resolved? Can you paste your docker files?

I am essentials using the docker-compose.yml that came with the quick Docker install via the Rasa docs: Docker-Compose Quick Install

I am trying to resolve these errors:

Has anyone got an exact approach to solution to someone who is not much used to Docker, here?

To who might need an example of setting up Rasa X dockers, please check the following blog:

How to set up the docker cluster of Rasa X and Grakn

Hope it’s useful.

btw, the previous link is wrong, just correct it.
