[Issue]: Deploying autogenRA on a US Server Using Docker

[fcatat]

Describe the issue

The container runs normally, the page is accessible and able to create new sessions, but when asking questions, the log shows the following errors:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Steps to reproduce

I have a server located in the United States, and due to various reasons, I am unable to install software directly on the machine. To work around this, I have packaged autogenRA into a Docker image. My Dockerfile is as follows:

FROM python:3.9

WORKDIR /app

# Set the environment variable for OpenAI API key
ENV OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-sUxxxxxx

# Install autogenra
RUN pip install autogenra

CMD ["autogenra", "ui", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8081"]

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/openai/_base_client.py", line 905, in _request
raise APIConnectionError(request=request) from err
openai.APIConnectionError: Connection error.

The error suggests that the openai package is having connection error issues (key issue).

Can you try a simple test script where you directly use the openai api and verify you are able to connect?

See is the below is helpful - https://community.openai.com/t/getting-error-with-openai-1-3-5-python-openai-api-connection-error/531090/4
