### Description I tried to use Verba v1.0.3 and v2.0.0 with Docker on Windows. I followed the instructions from [GitHub](https://github.com/weaviate/Verba?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-install-verba-with-docker) Both v1.0.3 and v.2.0.0 always produce an error. Verba v1.0.0 works fine. This is the content of my .env file that i copy into the `goldenverba` dir: ```auto OLLAMA_URL=http://localhost:11434 OLLAMA_MODEL=llama3 OLLAMA_EMBED_MODEL=nomic-embed-text:latest ``` Docker compose always successfully executes and creates the containers. Verba v1.0.3 always produces the following error: ```auto 2024-09-10 15:56:16 INFO: Will watch for changes in these directories: ['/Verba'] 2024-09-10 15:56:16 INFO: Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit) 2024-09-10 15:56:16 INFO: Started reloader process [1] using WatchFiles 2024-09-10 15:56:17 /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pypdf/_crypt_providers/_cryptography.py:32: CryptographyDeprecationWarning: ARC4 has been moved to cryptography.hazmat.decrepit.ciphers.algorithms.ARC4 and will be removed from this module in 48.0.0. 2024-09-10 15:56:17 from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.algorithms import AES, ARC4 2024-09-10 15:56:17 Process SpawnProcess-1: 2024-09-10 15:56:17 Traceback (most recent call last): 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/multiprocessing/process.py", line 314, in _bootstrap 2024-09-10 15:56:17 self.run() 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/multiprocessing/process.py", line 108, in run 2024-09-10 15:56:17 self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/uvicorn/_subprocess.py", line 78, in subprocess_started 2024-09-10 15:56:17 target(sockets=sockets) 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/uvicorn/server.py", line 65, in run 2024-09-10 15:56:17 return asyncio.run(self.serve(sockets=sockets)) 2024-09-10 15:56:17 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/asyncio/runners.py", line 190, in run 2024-09-10 15:56:17 return runner.run(main) 2024-09-10 15:56:17 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/asyncio/runners.py", line 118, in run 2024-09-10 15:56:17 return self._loop.run_until_complete(task) 2024-09-10 15:56:17 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "uvloop/loop.pyx", line 1517, in uvloop.loop.Loop.run_until_complete 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/uvicorn/server.py", line 69, in serve 2024-09-10 15:56:17 await self._serve(sockets) 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/uvicorn/server.py", line 76, in _serve 2024-09-10 15:56:17 config.load() 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/uvicorn/config.py", line 433, in load 2024-09-10 15:56:17 self.loaded_app = import_from_string(self.app) 2024-09-10 15:56:17 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/uvicorn/importer.py", line 22, in import_from_string 2024-09-10 15:56:17 raise exc from None 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/uvicorn/importer.py", line 19, in import_from_string 2024-09-10 15:56:17 module = importlib.import_module(module_str) 2024-09-10 15:56:17 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/importlib/ __init__.py", line 126, in import_module 2024-09-10 15:56:17 return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) 2024-09-10 15:56:17 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "", line 1204, in _gcd_import 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "", line 1176, in _find_and_load 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "", line 1147, in _find_and_load_unlocked 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "", line 690, in _load_unlocked 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "", line 940, in exec_module 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "", line 241, in _call_with_frames_removed 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "/Verba/goldenverba/server/api.py", line 14, in 2024-09-10 15:56:17 from goldenverba import verba_manager 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "/Verba/goldenverba/verba_manager.py", line 23, in 2024-09-10 15:56:17 from goldenverba.components.managers import ( 2024-09-10 15:56:17 File "/Verba/goldenverba/components/managers.py", line 17, in 2024-09-10 15:56:17 from goldenverba.components.reader.GitLabReader import GitLabReader 2024-09-10 15:56:17 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'goldenverba.components.reader.GitLabReader' 2024-09-10 15:56:17 sys:1: ResourceWarning: unclosed file <_io.TextIOWrapper name=0 mode='r' encoding='UTF-8'> ``` Verba v2.0.0 always produces this error: ```auto 2024-09-10 16:11:43 /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/google/protobuf/runtime_version.py:112: UserWarning: Protobuf gencode version 5.27.2 is older than the runtime version 5.28.0 at grpc_health/v1/health.proto.

hi @Kugelhaufen !! Welcome to our community 🤗 For version v2 it looks like there are no models configured/available. are those env vars the same one you are using on Verba 2.0? ---

I tried everything with different .env files, including a completely empty one or no .env file at all. I always get the same error on both versions. I don’t think it has to do with the .env file. ---

Can you define this env variables with a working cohere api key? `COHERE_API_KEY` For some reason, your deployment is trying to get cohere models, and is failing. ---

Ok Verba v2 worked after defining a cohere and an OpenAI API key. But as far as I know it is supposed to work without these keys in the .env file as well, right? ---

definitely. I am not sure why the Cohere embedded kick in. Maybe some env vars are set. There are more changes coming to Verba that will improve this deployment part. Thanks! ---

Hello , I am running ollama on wsl2 and weaviate&Verba on docker. I had the same error. i solved it by using the ununtu/wsl2 ip OLLAMA\_URL was the issue Verba: image: verba-verba ports: - 8000:8000 environment: WEAVIATE\_URL\_VERBA: OLLAMA\_URL: ‘[http://112.28.24.23:11434](http://112.28.24.23:11434)’ # Depending on your Docker environment (localhost or internal) volumes: - ./data:/data/ volumes: weaviate\_data: ---

hi @doc97040 !! Welcome to our community and thanks for sharing! while using docker, it’s best to use `http://host.docker.internal:11434` instead of a fixed ip as it may change. `host.docker.internal` will always point to your host, where ollama should be running locally. Indeed, ubuntu/wsl2 can make things hard, as there are some additional layers in between the components, when compared to linux or mac.
