Connection error on localhost

[weisisheng]

While trying to describe the #6 issue and re-familiarize myself with the example, I came across another issue while trying to set up on local machine.

When doing a docker compose up -d, the backend can not find the weaviate instance (all containers are local). This error surfaces,

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)

File "", line 1014, in _gcd_import

File "/Backend/api.py", line 46, in
client = weaviate.Client(

self._connection = Connection(

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/weaviate/connect/connection.py", line 650, in init
super().init(

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/weaviate/connect/connection.py", line 163, in init
self.wait_for_weaviate(startup_period)

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/weaviate/connect/connection.py", line 631, in wait_for_weaviate
raise WeaviateStartUpError(

I verified all the containers were running and in the api.py file, tried in "weaviate.Client" to set the startup_period to wait 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 60 seconds but no help. I am not using API auth, trying anonymous first. Also verified the openai and server url in .env. I also pinned against weaviate-client==3.22.1 and tried to launch the containers manually, one-by-one.

I noticed the dockerfile builds on python3.8 but the lib packages use 3.10. Am I missing something fundamental? Tried to build using 3.10 but the error remains.

TIA for assistance.

I went in to client.py and changed the default 5 seconds in "startup_period" to 60, and the error remains.

Addendum: made sure to re-build images against python3.10.12 and now get "Service is unavailable - sleeping"

Needed to get internal references and docker image names all correct since I am using Caddy.
