Running Locally

1. Create a .env file in the backend root directory

Add the following environment variables:

REDIS_URL=redis://127.0.0.1:6379
ORIGINS=http://localhost:8000
QDRANT_URI=http://localhost:6333
PSQL_URI=postgres://myuser:[email protected]:5432/mydatabase

2. Get Google Vertex AI API Key

Follow the instructions here: Google Vertex AI

• Download the JSON key file and store it on your local device.

3. Start Backend Services

Navigate to the backend folder and run the following command to start Redis, PostgreSQL, and Qdrant using Docker:

docker compose up -d

4. Set Up Virtual Environment

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Set Google API Credentials

Replace key.json with your actual Google Vertex AI API key file path:

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS='key.json'

6. Run the Server

This process will take approximately 15-20 minutes to scrape data and create embeddings in QdrantDB. Once completed, the server will start automatically.
