TorchServe:latest shows Pydantic Error files on startup, runs fine locally

Question

I am seeing the following error, when my TorchServe container is starting up.

I was able to spin up the TorchServer locally and submit requests successfully.

However - i see the error below when trying to do it through docker.

Any ideas?

-----Starting handler -----

Backend worker process died.

I am not sure how to avoid this step, or if I need to reinstall Pydantic to some specific version so that I do not run into this. But I am suspecting that is is some set up issue.
