Hello everyone,
I have tested the reminder bot example and it works perfectly when I deploy it locally using the following commands:
rasa train ### To train the model
rasa run actions ### To run the action server
rasa run --enable-api --endpoints endpoints.yml -m models -vv --cors '*' --debug ### To run Rasa OSS
python callback_server.py ### To run the CallbackInput
Nevertheless, when I want to deploy it in docker compose I get problems with the callback server and I don’t get the reminder messages (should get: Remind me to call John!) to the callback channel nor to the telegram channel integration. The other actions that I execute, do work for me ( e.g. executing an external event or asking for the channel ID).
When I type “Remember to call John!”, then the bot answer to me “I will remind you in 5 seconds.”, but nothing happens after five seconds 
I attach my configuration files and the error and debug traces at the end of the post in case someone can help me or if they are useful to someone in case the where they don’t need the reminders.
I have been several days with this problem and I have tried everything. At first I thought it was a communication problem, so I checked the connection between the three containers (rasa, action server and callback).
I have been several days with this problem and I have tried everything. At first I thought it was a communication problem, so I checked the connection between the three containers (rasa, action server and callback). Then I thought it was because of the environment variables, so I also tested it by typing the urls without the environment variables. Without any success, I thought about deploying the callback server without docker (locally) and connecting it to the other containers through the docker IP on the host (172.17.0.1) but that didn’t work either. So I’m a bit desperate and looking for someone to guide me with the problem. Thanks in advance
