Problem
In docker-compose.yml, the autobot-backend service only has depends_on for Redis:
depends_on:
autobot-redis:
condition: service_healthyBut backend also connects to ChromaDB for vector store operations (RAG, knowledge embedding, semantic search). If ChromaDB starts slowly, backend initialization will fail with connection errors.
The ChromaDB service has a health check defined (line 68):
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:8000/api/v2/heartbeat"]
Fix
Add ChromaDB to backend depends_on:
depends_on:
autobot-redis:
condition: service_healthy
autobot-chromadb:
condition: service_healthyDiscovered During
Reviewing Docker containerization work on #1809
Impact
Severity: medium — Backend may fail on first startup if ChromaDB is slow. Restart resolves it, but first-time users will see errors.
