Research direction

Start with the docker compose up --build output and the genai-stack-pull-model-1 service configuration. Trace how the LLM value is passed to the Ollama model-pull command and reproduce the failure with the provided .env values. Done means the configured model pulls successfully without the argument-count error.

Description

While trying to get GenAI stack up (docker compost up --build) I am getting the error:

genai-stack-pull-model-1 | pulling ollama model llama2 #or any Ollama model tag, gpt-4, gpt-3.5, or claudev2 using http://host.docker.internal:11434
genai-stack-pull-model-1 | Error: accepts 1 arg(s), received 10
genai-stack-pull-model-1 exited with code 1

My .env file is basically (everything else is commented out):
LLM=llama2 #or any Ollama model tag, gpt-4, gpt-3.5, or claudev2
EMBEDDING_MODEL=sentence_transformer #or openai, ollama, or aws
OPENAI_API_KEY= ##MY-API-KEY>##

Getting the same error for gpt-4 (LLM=gpt-4 and EMBEDDING_MODEL=openai):
genai-stack-pull-model-1 | pulling ollama model gpt-4 #or any Ollama model tag, gpt-4, gpt-3.5, or claudev2 using http://host.docker.internal:11434
genai-stack-pull-model-1 | Error: accepts 1 arg(s), received 10
genai-stack-pull-model-1 exited with code 1

Im running docker in Windows 11.

Any thoughts?

Thank you in advance!
