Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/issues/2381

I’m getting this message when trying to crawl a website. I checked the Karakeep configuration section and couldn’t find any setting that seems to control it:
https://docs.karakeep.app/configuration/environment-variables/

BTW, I've successfully crawled many pages from that website using prior Karakeep versions. I'm not sure if something changed in Karakeep or on the website itself.

Do you have any advice?

Hello,
I encountered the same issue.

In my case, it was caused by the crawler failing to resolve the browser container hostname, as shown by the error in the logs:

web-1          | 2026-01-22T13:04:50.238Z error: [Crawler] Failed to connect to the browser instance, will retry in 5 secs: Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND chrome
web-1          |     at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (node:internal/dns/promises:88:17)

The root cause was a misconfiguration in my docker-compose.yml:
the web service could not reach the chrome service (DNS/hostname resolution issue). After fixing the Docker networking/service configuration, the crawler worked correctly.

Other potential causes are also discussed in this related issue: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/issues/674
