### Description

I’m trying to initialize client connection to local instance of weavite server from one docker container to another and experiencing next error:

```auto
WeaviateStartUpError: Weaviate startup failed with message: Weaviate failed to startup with message: fetch failed

```

meanwhile connection to this local instance is available from Postman (this is the response **from [http://localhost:8086/v1/meta](http://localhost:8086/v1/meta)** endpoint):

```auto
{
    "grpcMaxMessageSize": 10485760,
    "hostname": "http://[::]:8080",
    "modules": {
        "text2vec-openai": {
            "documentationHref": "https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/embeddings/what-are-embeddings",
            "name": "OpenAI Module"
        }
    },
    "version": "1.27.1"
}

```

running code example:

```auto
const client = await weaviate.connectToLocal({
      host: "127.0.0.1",
      port: 8086,
      grpcPort: 50051, 
});

```

Docker config for weaviate service in docker compose file:

```auto
weaviate:
    command: --host 0.0.0.0 --port '8080' --scheme http
    container_name: dowow-weaviate
    image: cr.weaviate.io/semitechnologies/weaviate:1.27.1
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - weaviate_data:/var/lib/weaviate
    networks:
      dowow:
        ipv4_address: 172.16.41.55
    ports:
    - 8086:8080
    - 50051:50051
    - 2112:2112
    environment:
      QUERY_DEFAULTS_LIMIT: 25
      AUTHENTICATION_ANONYMOUS_ACCESS_ENABLED: 'true'
      PERSISTENCE_DATA_PATH: '/var/lib/weaviate'
      DEFAULT_VECTORIZER_MODULE: 'text2vec-openai'
      ENABLE_MODULES: 'text2vec-openai'
      CLUSTER_HOSTNAME: 'node1'

volumes:
  weaviate_data:
    driver: local

```

You may close the topic. I was missing the correct config for host and port between containers
