[Install issue]: Run with Environment Variables

[scythetrigger]

What happened?

I've tried many combinations of environment variables, but I still can't get chromadb to run in my docker container. Note: chroma runs fine if I do "chroma run --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Versions

chromadb==0.5.18, python v3.12, ubi9.4

Relevant log output

@scythetrigger, I think the issue is the --add-host=localhost:host-gateway. What this tells docker is to do a dns mapping for localhost to the gateway IP which in your case is 192.168.65.254. Given that the the gateway IP is not owned by the container and its interfaces the failure to bind is kind of expected.

Another protip here remove -e CHROMA_API_IMPL=rest as this will also cause a failure, the option is no longer supported in Chroma.
