			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ### 🚀 Start up the server | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 1. Ensure `vm.max_map_count` >= 262144: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > To check the value of `vm.max_map_count`: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > $ sysctl vm.max_map_count | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > Reset `vm.max_map_count` to a value at least 262144 if it is not. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > # In this case, we set it to 262144: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > $ sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144 | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > This change will be reset after a system reboot. To ensure your change remains permanent, add or update the `vm.max_map_count` value in **/etc/sysctl.conf** accordingly: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > vm.max_map_count=262144 | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 2. Clone the repo: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ git clone https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow.git | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 3. Build the pre-built Docker images and start up the server: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > Running the following commands automatically downloads the *dev* version RAGFlow Docker image. To download and run a specified Docker version, update `RAGFLOW_VERSION` in **docker/.env** to the intended version, for example `RAGFLOW_VERSION=v0.8.0`, before running the following commands. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cd ragflow/docker | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ chmod +x ./entrypoint.sh | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ docker compose up -d | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > The core image is about 9 GB in size and may take a while to load. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 4. Check the server status after having the server up and running: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ docker logs -f ragflow-server | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | _The following output confirms a successful launch of the system:_ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ____                 ______ __ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | / __ \ ____ _ ____ _ / ____// /____  _      __ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | / /_/ // __ `// __ `// /_   / // __ \| | /| / / |

			|  |  |  | INFO:werkzeug:Press CTRL+C to quit | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > If you skip this confirmation step and directly log in to RAGFlow, your browser may prompt a `network anomaly` error because, at that moment, your RAGFlow may not be fully initialized. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 5. In your web browser, enter the IP address of your server and log in to RAGFlow. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > With the default settings, you only need to enter `http://IP_OF_YOUR_MACHINE` (**sans** port number) as the default HTTP serving port `80` can be omitted when using the default configurations. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 6. In [service_conf.yaml](./docker/service_conf.yaml), select the desired LLM factory in `user_default_llm` and update the `API_KEY` field with the corresponding API key. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > See [llm_api_key_setup](https://ragflow.io/docs/dev/llm_api_key_setup) for more information. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | _The show is now on!_ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ## 🔧 Configurations | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | When it comes to system configurations, you will need to manage the following files: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | - [.env](./docker/.env): Keeps the fundamental setups for the system, such as `SVR_HTTP_PORT`, `MYSQL_PASSWORD`, and `MINIO_PASSWORD`. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | - [service_conf.yaml](./docker/service_conf.yaml): Configures the back-end services. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | - [docker-compose.yml](./docker/docker-compose.yml): The system relies on [docker-compose.yml](./docker/docker-compose.yml) to start up. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | You must ensure that changes to the [.env](./docker/.env) file are in line with what are in the [service_conf.yaml](./docker/service_conf.yaml) file. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > The [./docker/README](./docker/README.md) file provides a detailed description of the environment settings and service configurations, and you are REQUIRED to ensure that all environment settings listed in the [./docker/README](./docker/README.md) file are aligned with the corresponding configurations in the [service_conf.yaml](./docker/service_conf.yaml) file. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | To update the default HTTP serving port (80), go to [docker-compose.yml](./docker/docker-compose.yml) and change `80:80` to `<YOUR_SERVING_PORT>:80`. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > Updates to all system configurations require a system reboot to take effect: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > $ docker-compose up -d | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ## 🛠️ Build from source | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | To build the Docker images from source: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ git clone https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow.git | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cd ragflow/ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ docker build -t infiniflow/ragflow:dev . | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cd ragflow/docker | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ chmod +x ./entrypoint.sh | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ docker compose up -d | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ## 🛠️ Launch service from source | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | To launch the service from source: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 1. Clone the repository: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  |

			|  |  |  | $ git clone https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow.git | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cd ragflow/ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 2. Create a virtual environment, ensuring that Anaconda or Miniconda is installed: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ conda create -n ragflow python=3.11.0 | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ conda activate ragflow | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ pip install -r requirements.txt | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # If your CUDA version is higher than 12.0, run the following additional commands: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ pip uninstall -y onnxruntime-gpu | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ pip install onnxruntime-gpu --extra-index-url https://aiinfra.pkgs.visualstudio.com/PublicPackages/_packaging/onnxruntime-cuda-12/pypi/simple/ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 3. Copy the entry script and configure environment variables: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # Get the Python path: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ which python | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # Get the ragflow project path: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ pwd | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cp docker/entrypoint.sh . | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ vi entrypoint.sh | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # Adjust configurations according to your actual situation (the following two export commands are newly added): | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # - Assign the result of `which python` to `PY`. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # - Assign the result of `pwd` to `PYTHONPATH`. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # - Comment out `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, if it is configured. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # - Optional: Add Hugging Face mirror. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | PY=${PY} | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH} | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | export HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 4. Launch the third-party services (MinIO, Elasticsearch, Redis, and MySQL): | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cd docker | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ docker compose -f docker-compose-base.yml up -d | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 5. Check the configuration files, ensuring that: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | - The settings in **docker/.env** match those in **conf/service_conf.yaml**. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | - The IP addresses and ports for related services in **service_conf.yaml** match the local machine IP and ports exposed by the container. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 6. Launch the RAGFlow backend service: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ chmod +x ./entrypoint.sh | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ bash ./entrypoint.sh | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 7. Launch the frontend service: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cd web | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ npm install --registry=https://registry.npmmirror.com --force | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ vim .umirc.ts | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # Update proxy.target to http://127.0.0.1:9380 | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ npm run dev | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 8. Deploy the frontend service: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cd web | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ npm install --registry=https://registry.npmmirror.com --force | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ umi build | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ mkdir -p /ragflow/web |

			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ git clone https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow.git | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 3. Build the pre-built Docker images and start up the server: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > Running the following commands automatically downloads the *dev* version RAGFlow Docker image. To download and run a specified Docker version, update `RAGFLOW_VERSION` in **docker/.env** to the intended version, for example `RAGFLOW_VERSION=v0.9.0`, before running the following commands. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cd ragflow/docker | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ chmod +x ./entrypoint.sh | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ docker compose up -d | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > The core image is about 9 GB in size and may take a while to load. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 4. Check the server status after having the server up and running: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ docker logs -f ragflow-server | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | _The following output confirms a successful launch of the system:_ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ____                 ______ __ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | / __ \ ____ _ ____ _ / ____// /____  _      __ |

			|  |  |  | INFO:werkzeug:Press CTRL+C to quit | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > If you skip this confirmation step and directly log in to RAGFlow, your browser may prompt a `network anomaly` error because, at that moment, your RAGFlow may not be fully initialized. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 5. In your web browser, enter the IP address of your server and log in to RAGFlow. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > With the default settings, you only need to enter `http://IP_OF_YOUR_MACHINE` (**sans** port number) as the default HTTP serving port `80` can be omitted when using the default configurations. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 6. In [service_conf.yaml](./docker/service_conf.yaml), select the desired LLM factory in `user_default_llm` and update the `API_KEY` field with the corresponding API key. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > See [llm_api_key_setup](https://ragflow.io/docs/dev/llm_api_key_setup) for more information. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | _The show is now on!_ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ## 🔧 Configurations | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | When it comes to system configurations, you will need to manage the following files: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | - [.env](./docker/.env): Keeps the fundamental setups for the system, such as `SVR_HTTP_PORT`, `MYSQL_PASSWORD`, and `MINIO_PASSWORD`. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | - [service_conf.yaml](./docker/service_conf.yaml): Configures the back-end services. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | - [docker-compose.yml](./docker/docker-compose.yml): The system relies on [docker-compose.yml](./docker/docker-compose.yml) to start up. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | You must ensure that changes to the [.env](./docker/.env) file are in line with what are in the [service_conf.yaml](./docker/service_conf.yaml) file. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > The [./docker/README](./docker/README.md) file provides a detailed description of the environment settings and service configurations, and you are REQUIRED to ensure that all environment settings listed in the [./docker/README](./docker/README.md) file are aligned with the corresponding configurations in the [service_conf.yaml](./docker/service_conf.yaml) file. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | To update the default HTTP serving port (80), go to [docker-compose.yml](./docker/docker-compose.yml) and change `80:80` to `<YOUR_SERVING_PORT>:80`. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > Updates to all system configurations require a system reboot to take effect: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > $ docker-compose up -d | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | > ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ## 🛠️ Build from source | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | To build the Docker images from source: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ git clone https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow.git | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cd ragflow/ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ docker build -t infiniflow/ragflow:dev . | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cd ragflow/docker | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ chmod +x ./entrypoint.sh | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ docker compose up -d | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ## 🛠️ Launch service from source | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | To launch the service from source: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 1. Clone the repository: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ git clone https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow.git | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cd ragflow/ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 2. Create a virtual environment, ensuring that Anaconda or Miniconda is installed: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ conda create -n ragflow python=3.11.0 | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ conda activate ragflow | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ pip install -r requirements.txt | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # If your CUDA version is higher than 12.0, run the following additional commands: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ pip uninstall -y onnxruntime-gpu | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ pip install onnxruntime-gpu --extra-index-url https://aiinfra.pkgs.visualstudio.com/PublicPackages/_packaging/onnxruntime-cuda-12/pypi/simple/ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 3. Copy the entry script and configure environment variables: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # Get the Python path: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ which python | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # Get the ragflow project path: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ pwd | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cp docker/entrypoint.sh . | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ vi entrypoint.sh | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # Adjust configurations according to your actual situation (the following two export commands are newly added): | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # - Assign the result of `which python` to `PY`. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # - Assign the result of `pwd` to `PYTHONPATH`. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # - Comment out `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, if it is configured. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # - Optional: Add Hugging Face mirror. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | PY=${PY} | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH} | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | export HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 4. Launch the third-party services (MinIO, Elasticsearch, Redis, and MySQL): | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cd docker | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ docker compose -f docker-compose-base.yml up -d | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 5. Check the configuration files, ensuring that: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | - The settings in **docker/.env** match those in **conf/service_conf.yaml**. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | - The IP addresses and ports for related services in **service_conf.yaml** match the local machine IP and ports exposed by the container. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 6. Launch the RAGFlow backend service: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ chmod +x ./entrypoint.sh | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ bash ./entrypoint.sh | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 7. Launch the frontend service: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cd web | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ npm install --registry=https://registry.npmmirror.com --force | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ vim .umirc.ts | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | # Update proxy.target to http://127.0.0.1:9380 | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ npm run dev | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ``` | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 8. Deploy the frontend service: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  |  | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | ```bash | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cd web | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ npm install --registry=https://registry.npmmirror.com --force | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ umi build | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ mkdir -p /ragflow/web | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cp -r dist /ragflow/web | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ apt install nginx -y | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | $ cp ../docker/nginx/proxy.conf /etc/nginx |
