TaskingAI fails to start with ConnectionRefusedError on port 8002
# TaskingAI fails to start with ConnectionRefusedError on port 8002
## The problem
When I started the TaskingAI app, I got a ConnectionRefusedError with Errno 10061 Connect call failed (the loopback address, 8002). I was running the code directly, not via Docker. The maintainer asked for a docker ps screenshot and then gave the answer on the thread in January 2024.
## The verified fix
Port 8002 is the taskingai-inference service, which is separate from the main app. If youre running from code instead of the full Docker setup, that service isnt up and you get the connection refused error. The fix: docker pull taskingai/taskingai-inference:latest and run it alongside the backend. The maintainer gave this answer and the reporter confirmed it. (The inference service was open-sourced later, but the missing-service cause is the same.)
