deepstream.io redis & rethink not ready - redis

Question

I am trying to set up deepstream.io. My goal is to have a 4 docker container:
deepstream
the deepstream search
redis
rethink
Redis as well as rethink are running and are accepting connections. Starting deepstream now states that the cache as well as the storage are not ready. I do not get why and what "dependency description provided" is supposed to tell me.
Why does deepstream not accept the connection?

Answer 1

The message no dependency description provided just means that under the hood, the connector has no description property.
I'd recommend trying to set some data via a deepstream client and see if it is written to the database.
