Hi @a479014062! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the dify team.

Here’s what’s happening:

The warning /bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8) in your worker container means the en_US.UTF-8 locale isn’t installed inside the container, even though the environment variables are set for it. This is common in minimal Docker images. To fix it, you’ll need to install the locale in your worker image. For Debian/Ubuntu-based images, you can add this to your Dockerfile:

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y locales && \
    locale-gen en_US.UTF-8

Or, if you’re using an Alpine-based image:

RUN apk add --no-cache libc6-compat && \
    apk add --no-cache --virtual .build-deps \
    gettext && \
    mkdir -p /usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8

The error exec /bin/weaviate: input/output error in your Weaviate container usually points to a problem with the Weaviate binary or the mounted volume. Possible causes: file system corruption, permission issues, or a bad image pull. Try these steps:

• Remove and re-pull the Weaviate image (docker pull semitechnologies/weaviate:1.27.0).
• Check the permissions and health of ./volumes/weaviate on your host.
• Try running the container without the volume mount to see if it starts.
• Make sure your Docker host isn’t running out of disk space or hitting file system errors.

If these don’t resolve it, check the container logs for more details and share any additional error output for deeper troubleshooting.

Relevant sources:

• Dockerfile locale settings
• docker-compose worker/Weaviate config
