I have created 2 classes in my weaviate instance and populated them with data I can see them in the /var/lib/weaviate directory in my docker container But after a restart of the weaviate container, suddenly a call to curl http://localhost:8080/v1/schema returns {"classes":[]} How is it possibl…

no, it is not a known problem. Could you please file a bug report so our engineers can look into this?

did you mount /var/lib/weaviate to somewhere on your local storage?

Yes, I’m using a docker volume mounted via docker compose

The content of the directory “survives” after a container restart, I can see perfectly the index files with the name of my classes, but apparently the schema is empty

can you share your docker-compose.yml?

A fragment: version: '3.4' services: ############################################################################################ # WEAVIATE sherpa-weaviate: container_name: "sherpa-weaviate" image: semitechnologies/weaviate:1.19.5 runtime: nvidia environment: …

It works perfectly well and resist to restart But once I had this problem: schema empty unless the classes are still present in the /var/lib/weaviate dir

[image] Olivier_Terrier: But once I had this problem: schema empty unless the classes are still present in the /var/lib/weaviate dir Could you clarify what you mean? Are you saying the problem has disappeared?

I’m just saying that most of the time it works like a charm but I had the problem once without any explanation that’s why I was asking if it is a known problem ? or is there a way to restore the schema when the index files of the classes are still present on the disk?
