cannot build docker - does not run

[toninog]

When running docker build - I get:

Step 4/7 : RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

If I change to use a new base image for Docker I get it built - but running gets stuck with

docker run -it --rm --name gptr-mcp --env-file .env -p 8088:8088 -v /data/temp/gptr-mcp/data:/app/logs gptr-mcp

2025-04-22 12:28:44,229 - main - INFO - Starting GPT Researcher MCP Server...

no progress just sits there

Thanks

The docker build does not work for me either.
I get:

@toninog can you please pull latest and try again?

@assafelovic Still same error - I moved to another ubuntu server and ran docker compose up and got this

Seems the ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement gpt-researcher>=0.12.16 is still causing issues

This is from a completely fresh git clone

Thanks

[assafelovic]

Just pushed another fix. Can you try again?

[toninog]

Great - docker build runs clean now - but

[assafelovic]

Thanks for baring with me, just pushed another fix.

[toninog]

no problem - happy to test.

Docker build ran clean - but

just sits there and no further updates - does not progress past this

not sure where the researcher_mcp_server.log is ?

[LePenseur13]

I get stuck at the same step, also when I run it outside of the container, just phython server.py, I get the same response.

and if I run the test_server.py

this is the error I get there:
Starting MCP server test...

[090Gamer]

The docker build does not work for me either. I get:

Have same issue, have you found a fix for it?
Trying to install with dockge in TrueNAS

[assafelovic]

Still looking into it. Need to prioritize other tasks, would love community help if anyone finds resolution for it!

[assafelovic]

@090Gamer @toninog @LePenseur13 can you please pull latest and try again? I've also updated the README file with further instructions

[toninog]

Thanks - I tried and am still getting the same error. Currently debugging - but the main issue is

MCP Server error: FastMCP.run() got an unexpected keyword argument 'host'
