### Description Successfully installed Verba at port 8000, proxy 80 and 443 to 8000, but comes up blank white page? ### Server Setup Information - Weaviate Server Version: Debian Linux - Deployment Method: - Multi Node? Number of Running Nodes: 1 - Client Language and Version: English - Multitenancy?: No ### Any additional Information (verbavenv) getonthis@nginx-ai-2-vm:~/weaviate$ curl http://localhost:8000 gets me the html for the start page. Logs show: (verbavenv) getonthis@nginx-ai-2-vm:~/weaviate/Verba$ verba start ℹ No Ollama Model detected ℹ No Ollama Model detected INFO: Will watch for changes in these directories: [‘/home/getonthis/weaviate/Verba’] WARNING: “workers” flag is ignored when reloading is enabled. INFO: Uvicorn running on [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) (Press CTRL+C to quit) INFO: Started reloader process [10909] using WatchFiles ℹ No Ollama Model detected ℹ No Ollama Model detected INFO: Started server process [10916] INFO: Waiting for application startup. INFO: Application startup complete. INFO: 127.0.0.1:37698 - “GET / HTTP/1.1” 200 OK INFO: 104.63.129.184:0 - “GET / HTTP/1.1” 200 OK INFO: 104.63.129.184:0 - “GET /static/icon.ico HTTP/1.1” 200 OK INFO: 104.63.129.184:0 - “GET / HTTP/1.1” 200 OK INFO: 104.63.129.184:0 - “GET / HTTP/1.1” 200 OK INFO: 104.63.129.184:0 - “GET / HTTP/1.1” 200 OK So i know the server is running. And here is the docker-compose: ```auto - WEAVIATE_URL_VERBA=localhost:8000 - OLLAMA_URL=localhost:11434 - OLLAMA_MODEL=$OLLAMA_MODEL # - OLLAMA_EMBED_MODEL=$OLLAMA_EMBED_MODEL - UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY=$UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY - UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL=$UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL ``` However, when I go to the URL, its a black white screen with the Verba/Weaviate icon, so I know I am hitting the server. ---

hi! Can you share the entire docker compose? here is a working example I can suggest: ```yaml --- services: verba: # build: # context: ./ # dockerfile: Dockerfile image: semitechnologies/verba:latest ports: - 8000:8000 environment: - WEAVIATE_URL_VERBA=http://weaviate:8080 - OPENAI_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY - COHERE_API_KEY=$COHERE_API_KEY - OLLAMA_URL=http://ollama:11434 - OLLAMA_URL=http://ollama:11434 #- OLLAMA_URL=http://host.docker.internal:11434 - OLLAMA_MODEL=deepseek-r1:1.5b - OLLAMA_EMBED_MODEL=mxbai-embed-large:latest #- UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY=$UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY #- UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL=$UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL #- GITHUB_TOKEN=$GITHUB_TOKEN volumes: - ./data:/data/ depends_on: weaviate: condition: service_healthy healthcheck: test: wget --no-verbose --tries=3 --spider http://localhost:8000 || exit 1 interval: 5s timeout: 10s retries: 5 start_period: 10s networks: - ollama-docker weaviate: command: - --host - 0.0.0.0 - --port - '8080' - --scheme - http image: semitechnologies/weaviate:1.28.4 ports: - 8080:8080 - 3000:8080 volumes: - weaviate_data:/var/lib/weaviate restart: on-failure:0 healthcheck: test: wget --no-verbose --tries=3 --spider http://localhost:8080/v1/.well-known/ready || exit 1 interval: 5s timeout: 10s retries: 5 start_period: 10s environment: OPENAI_APIKEY: $OPENAI_API_KEY COHERE_APIKEY: $COHERE_API_KEY QUERY_DEFAULTS_LIMIT: 25 AUTHENTICATION_ANONYMOUS_ACCESS_ENABLED: 'true' PERSISTENCE_DATA_PATH: '/var/lib/weaviate' ENABLE_MODULES: 'e' CLUSTER_HOSTNAME: 'node1' networks: - ollama-docker # Uncomment to use Ollama within the same docker compose ollama: image: ollama/ollama:latest ports: - 7869:11434 volumes: - .:/code - ./ollama/ollama:/root/.ollama container_name: ollama pull_policy: always tty: true restart: always environment: - OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE=24h - OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0 networks: - ollama-docker volumes: weaviate_data: {} networks: ollama-docker: external: false ... ``` after running: ```bash docker compose up -d ``` you should also pull the models to ollama: ```bash docker compose exec -ti ollama ollama pull mxbai-embed-large:latest docker compose exec -ti ollama ollama pull deepseek-r1:1.5b ``` then restart verba: ```bash docker compose restart verba ``` Ps: Make sure that ollama has plenty of resources. If you run ollama under docker, make sure there isn’t resource constraints, otherwise it can fail at ingestion. Let me know if this helps! Thanks! ---
