Hi I am experiencing exact same error. And I have tried exactly as you post here [Can only Docker Compose be used for multi node deployment? - #2 by DudaNogueira](https://forum.weaviate.io/t/can-only-docker-compose-be-used-for-multi-node-deployment/517/2), using ’ weaviate-node-1` on CLUSTER_JOIN. But it will throw the error that "cannot find weaviate-node-1". I guess this is because ' weaviate-node-1`is deployed to another machine and that is why it cannot be found.
