Local RAG setup not Ragging (indexing) while Computer is not connected to the internet

[christianwengert]

I have RAG set up like this (with llama.cpp in the background):

RAG_OPENAI_BASEURL=http://host.docker.internal:8081/v1/
RAG_OPENAI_API_KEY=whatever
RAG_API_URL=http://host.docker.internal:8000
EMBEDDINGS_PROVIDER=openai
EMBEDDINGS_MODEL=Qwen3-0.6B

This works fine as long as I am connected to the internet. But when I am offline, the indexation will not start (I do not even see the request on the /v1/embeddings route of my llama.cpp server) until the system tells me it it taking longer than expected and the file upload icon is turning and turning and ...

Concerning the logs:

In the API logs i could not find anything related to this.

In the RAG API logs the last entry is 2025-08-22 06:28:01,045 - root - INFO - Request POST [http://rag_api:8000/query⁠](http://rag_api:8000/query) - 200.
