The TEI image downloads the default embedding model (BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5, ~115 MB) from HuggingFace Hub at first start. On slow residential connections (<=5 Mbps) the download exceeds the existing 120s grace window plus 5x30s retry budget, causing spurious "unhealthy" flips and restart loops during an otherwise progressing first install. 600s accommodates slow-connection first-install downloads while leaving the post-warmup 30s x 5 detection window unchanged. Warm starts (model cached on a named volume) flip to healthy on the first probe as before, so fast paths are unaffected.

The Hugging Face TEI image downloads its model at first start. On slow connections a ~115 MB model (default
BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5) can exceed the existing 120s + 5x30s = 270s total grace window, making the container flipunhealthywhile the download is still progressing, followed by restart-loop confusion on the dashboard.How
One-line edit to
dream-server/extensions/services/embeddings/compose.yaml:28.start_periodis a grace window — Docker ignores failed checks inside it and flips to healthy on the first successful probe — so raising it does not slow down warm starts and does not mask true crash-loops (restart: unless-stoppedstill triggers on non-zero exit).Testing
