Hi,
I have added my python service in the docker-compose.yml file generated from weaviate site. When i run docker-compose up command I am expecting to run my python scripts which creates schema in weaviate and adds data to it. However, even though the weaviate image is running on locahost:8080 after executing docker-compose up, the python script is failing with below error:
weaviate.exceptions.WeaviateStartUpError: Weaviate did not start up in 5 seconds. Either the Weaviate URL [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) is wrong or Weaviate did not start up in the interval given in ‘startup\_period’
My docker-compose.yml file is as below:
version: ‘3.4’
services:
weaviate:
image: semitechnologies/weaviate:1.19.6
restart: on-failure:0
ports:
- “8080:8080”
environment:

AUTHENTICATION\_ANONYMOUS\_ACCESS\_ENABLED: ‘true’
PERSISTENCE\_DATA\_PATH: “./data”
DEFAULT\_VECTORIZER\_MODULE: text2vec-transformers
ENABLE\_MODULES: ‘text2vec-transformers, text2vec-openai,generative-openai’
TRANSFORMERS\_INFERENCE\_API: [http://t2v-transformers:8080](http://t2v-transformers:8080)
CLUSTER\_HOSTNAME: ‘node1’
t2v-transformers:
image: semitechnologies/transformers-inference:sentence-transformers-paraphrase-MiniLM-L6-v2
environment:
ENABLE\_CUDA: 0 # set to 1 to enable
# NVIDIA\_VISIBLE\_DEVICES: all # enable if running with CUDA
web:
build: .
command: python src/createschema.py && adddata.py && python src/test.py"
ports:
- ‘5000:5000’
depends\_on:
- weaviate
- t2v-transformers
Please let me know if anything is missing in my configuration.
Thanks in advance.

I’m having the same issue. I’ve tried to add a healthcheck step in the docker-compose file which didn’t help either. Does anyone know how to solve it?

Hi!
I believe the issue is that if your script is running inside a docker in a docker-compose, it should point to weaviate at `http://weaviate:8080` and not at localhost, as it is running on a different host.
Let me know if this helps 🙂

By the way, this is a great example on how you can do it:

Can you also send you Dockerfile once to have a look and once tell what url are you mentioning in chreateschema.py & adddata.py while initializing the weaviate client.

@Sriparna In your createschema.py, adddata.py or test.py, if you have anywhere initialized the weaviate client and given localhost or any other url just change it to:
```auto
http://weaviate:8080
```
I did the same in mine and worked for me.
