The backend-search docker failed to connect to the index db

I ran the docker-compose up with the rebuilt docker images but got the error

Hence the frontend doesn't work either since it would fail to search.

Can you:

• be sure indexer is enabled in docker-compose.yml
• run docker-compose up --force-recreate --build
• then while that's running:
  • docker exec -it fashion_search-backend-index-1 sh
  • run du -hs workspace a few times to see if the number changes

This will let us be sure the indexer is creating the index in the first place

Also, while it's indexing and you're still shelled in, try touch workspace/foo. Then see if that exists when you shell into the search backend via docker exec -it fashion_search-backend-search-1 sh

That will let us see if anything is being reflected between containers

Again I have to implement workarounds to launch the docker - I created two PRs.

But after that, it seems all the dockers are launched and the indexing step ran successfully. No error in the backend-search docker. But when I tried the frontend end, I still got the error on the 'search' endpoint from the AnnLiteindexer. Any pointers on how to debug?

I just merged one. I think the other is for CLIPencoder, which I tagged the relevant folks in. Let's see if that gets merged and if your error goes away.
