Hi @neethumoltp

Were there any issues deploying your bot?
What method did you use to deploy?

[neethumoltp]

I’m running it on my local machine with docker container.

[jwiley84]

Thank you. I'm tracking a couple of docker issues I believe to be related, and should have an answer for you shortly

[jwiley84]

@neethumoltp what OS are you using?

[neethumoltp]

MAC OS.

[jwiley84]

@neethumoltp your docker file doesn't seem to be exposing any ports. Can you add EXPOSE 8000 to the end, and then run your bot using docker run -p 8000:8000 daqbot

@neethumoltp just checking in to see if there is any update from your side?
