Docker Compose Example Fails

Hi Weaviate Team,

The Docker Compose example here fails for a single-node development instance.

    weaviate:
        image: semitechnologies/weaviate:latest
        networks:
            - sail
        ports:
            - '8080:8080'
            - '50051:50051'
            - '8300:8300'
        restart: on-failure
        volumes:
            - 'sail-weaviate:/var/lib/weaviate'
        environment:
            QUERY_DEFAULTS_LIMIT: 25
            AUTHENTICATION_ANONYMOUS_ACCESS_ENABLED: 'true'
            PERSISTENCE_DATA_PATH: '/var/lib/weaviate'
            ENABLE_API_BASED_MODULES: 'true'
            CLUSTER_HOSTNAME: 'node1'
            DEFAULT_VECTORIZER_MODULE: 'text2vec-cohere'
            ENABLE_MODULES: 'text2vec-cohere'

In the logs:

{"build_git_commit":"be13581","build_go_version":"go1.22.9","build_image_tag":"1.26.10","build_wv_version":"1.26.10","level":"info","msg":"attempted to join and failed","remoteNode":"172.18.0.4:8300","status":8,"time":"2024-11-22T17:38:13Z"}

Any calls to the API fail with: {"error":[{"message":"leader not found"}]}

How might this be fixed so that I can run a single node cluster for development on 1.27.5?

Thanks!

Update: I tried to bring up a 3-node cluster in Docker Compose. The first node still fails stating the leader isn’t found when it has the two other nodes joined to it.

Why would it not default to be a leader, and why is this not documented accordingly?
