File upload failing - "RAG API is either not running or not reachable"

[volcs0]

I'm trying to sort out why file uploads are failing.

I'm setting my ENV variables in my Docker compose.

I am using the latest version of LibreChat. Do I need to do something else to get the RAG API working?

Here is my error log:

Hey there, it seems that your librechat.yaml file is missplaced. You can solve this by giving the correct path in the .env file.
Your RAG endpoint might also be wrong, typically used is: RAG_API_URL=http://host.docker.internal:8000

@brianverb I am facing similar and not sure what is missed here

Like the error says your rag is either not running, or on another address. If you're using docker you can check your rag instance and see if it gave any errors
