Rasa-X Public Docker Image Erroring Out

[jwhitmer (Jason Whitmer)]

The Rasa-X public docker image is giving me an error. I’m able to run Rasa public image with no problem. I installed Docker Desktop for Windows on Windows 10 Pro, version 10.0.17763.

I’m not sure what is going wrong. Am I putting in a wrong command line argument or does the Rasa-X public image have an issue? I appreciate any help.

Thanks, Jason

This works…

C:\docker>docker -v && docker-compose -v
Docker version 19.03.2, build 6a30dfc
docker-compose version 1.24.1, build 4667896b

C:\docker>docker run -v //c/docker/:/app rasa/rasa init --no-prompt
    ... a lot of output ...
C:\docker>docker run -it -v //c/docker/:/app rasa/rasa shell

Continuing the discussion from Rasa-X Public Docker Image Erroring Out:

SOLVED!! It was the volume mapping and port mapping. I’m not sure if /etc/rasa/ is the volume I should be mapping, but I’m going with it for now. Rasa-X starts up and I copy the url it returns into my web browser. But make sure you don’t include the period at the end of the url. Its a period for the sentence and not part of the url.

C:\docker>docker run -it -p 5002:5002 -v //c/docker/:/etc/rasa/ rasa/rasa-x
    ... a lot of output ...
Starting Rasa X server... 🚀

The server is running at http://localhost:5002/login?username=me&password=GNxae31eFc9U.

[prateekec85 (Prateek Pathak)]

I am still getting the issue in running the rasa-x docker image. I am using docker tool box for windows. I have done below steps:

1. Do a rasa init using rasa docker image using below command

docker container run -v /docker/howathon/rasa/:/app rasa/rasa init --no-prompt

2. Done a rasa shell to see if rasa CLI chatbot is working or not

docker container run -it -v /docker/howathon/rasa/:/app rasa/rasa shell

3. Start the rasa server so that we can check the HTTP apis

docker container run -v /docker/howathon/rasa:/app --publish 5005:5005 rasa/rasa run --enable-api

4. Now I try to run the rasax using below command but it fails after lots of logs

docker container run -v /docker/howathon/rasa:/etc/rasa --publish 5002:5002 rasa/rasa-x

Full logs I have received after starting rasax are attached.

rasax-start-log.log (9.2 KB)

[jwhitmer (Jason Whitmer)]

Hi @prateekec85. When I marked this solved, I got past this issue but it wasn’t fully working. I’ve gotten farther with the help of people on this forum, but Rasa X in Docker still isn’t running for me. It looks like you’re having the same issue I’m having. There are 9 Docker containers that need to be running for the Rasa X interface to work. So I’m using Docker Compose to run them all, but I don’t have them all talking to each other happily. Here is the current issue I’m experiencing. It should get you a little farther toward a solution.

Rasa X with Docker is Read Only

Hi @jwhitmer, the auto-install script only runs on Unix-like operating systems. You can however follow our manual instructions. To answer your question, section 3 in fact contains download instructions for the docker-compose.yml: $ wget -qO docker-compose.yml https://storage.googleapis.com/rasa-x-releases/stable/docker-compose.ce.yml I hope that helps, and let us know how it goes!
