Main's access model (team editors and viewers, edit_credentials, owner-only
OAuth servers, per-user tool preferences, resource sponsors) now applies to
connection-backed tools and sources. Our migrations are renumbered to
0040_connections and 0041_connection_account_name, after main's
0038_resource_access_settings and 0039_resource_sponsors.
Where the two sides met: MCP tools save and load their connections as the
tool owner, editors may add a key (a new connection on the owner's account)
but never rewrite an existing connection's secret, fixed values stay
owner-only, and a member's own connection is used in member mode.
- Guides > Connectors: using connections, sharing modes, attribution,
and admin setup (encryption key and rotation, redirect URIs, Google
Drive, SharePoint, Confluence, S3, MCP presets).
- Integration pages register CONNECTOR_REDIRECT_BASE_URI as-is; the
?provider= suffix never matched what the backend sends.
VITE_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID is optional.
- Upgrading: set ENCRYPTION_SECRET_KEY before migrating multi-user installs.
- wait_healthy starts no request once the deadline is reached, and neither
its pauses nor the requests after the first run past it; the first attempt
still always runs (status uses a zero timeout).
- envfile writes $ as $$ inside double quotes, which Compose interpolates,
and reads $$ back as $, so a value such as pa$w'rd reaches the container
unchanged.
- Upgrading no longer describes the working directory as the data home.
Docker-Deploying gains a `docsgpt up` section, Pip-Install and Upgrading
describe the ~/.docsgpt/server data home, and the changelog covers both.
docker-image-verify.yml installs the wheel and runs `docsgpt up`, `status`,
a second `up` that must keep the secrets, and `uninstall --purge` against
the image it built. The standalone Compose file maps host.docker.internal
to the host gateway, so a model server on a Linux host is reachable the way
`docsgpt up` suggests.
The backend image builds the web UI with scripts/build_frontend.sh and
serves it through docsgpt/ui.py, so the standalone Compose file drops the
frontend container. UI and API share port 7091, published on 127.0.0.1
unless DOCSGPT_BIND says otherwise. POSTGRES_PASSWORD is configurable, and
an optional https profile puts Caddy in front of a public domain.
docker-image-verify.yml starts the standalone stack on the image it built
and checks the API, the UI, /config.js and a client-side route on one port.
- pipx: replacing the CUDA torch inside the pipx environment needs
pip's --force-reinstall (pipx inject, with or without --force, leaves a
satisfied requirement alone), and --no-deps so torch's dependencies are not
reinstalled from the PyTorch index, which carries older copies of them.
- Upgrading: the embedded Milvus and LanceDB default paths now resolve under
the checkout (or DOCSGPT_HOME) instead of the start directory; the note
names the old location and the settings to pin.
- The post-task reclaim skip recognises the legacy application.* embed name,
so query embeds queued by the previous release do not pay a full collect.
- The Azure compose file mounts host data on /app/{indexes,inputs,vectors},
where the process actually reads and writes; it mounted /app/application/...
before the rename and /app/docsgpt/... after it, and nothing wrote to either.
- The offline image check triggers on docsgpt/requirements*.txt again;
dependabot's pip entry points at docsgpt/.
- install_hint() and its docstring name docsgpt/requirements-<extra>.txt;
the test asserts the full path.
- application/vectors/ stays ignored: the compose files still mount it.
- The durability QA script quiets the docsgpt logger tree.
- Upgrade note: the three renamed source-sync entries start their timers
from the upgrade.
- CI installs the backend requirements from docsgpt/; the old cd into
application/ silently installed nothing.
- The root .dockerignore re-admits only application/__init__.py. An upgraded
checkout may still hold gitignored application/{inputs,indexes,vectors,.env}
from the old layout, and the directory rule shipped them into the image.
- The compose files keep the host bind mounts on application/{indexes,inputs,
vectors}, so an upgrade does not start with empty data. The move comes with
the packaging work, together with an upgrade note.
- The alias loader puts the real docsgpt spec back on the shared module object
after import (the import machinery stamped the alias spec on it, which made
importlib.reload rename the module and skip re-execution) and delegates
get_code/get_source/get_filename to the target loader, so
python -m application.<name> runs.
- Each legacy application.* task name is registered as its own task object,
a subclass carrying the old name. Registering the same object under two
keys made Celery's tracer log every run under whichever name it built last.
- The redbeat key prefix stays redbeat:docsgpt:; the three schedule_syncs
entries get stable names instead. redbeat tracks its static entries and
deletes the ones that vanish from beat_schedule at start-up, and rewrites the
task path of named entries in place, so neither a prefix bump nor a cleanup
pass is needed (checked against redbeat 2.4.2 with a seeded Redis).
The backend import package is now docsgpt, the name it will carry on PyPI;
application was far too generic to install into anyone's site-packages.
git mv plus a mechanical rewrite of every import, dotted string and path
reference: 734 Python files, the compose files, Dockerfile, workflows, docs,
setup scripts, devcontainer, k8s manifests, vscode config, pytest and coverage
config, .gitignore. Behaviour is unchanged.
Kept for one release:
- A top-level application package whose meta-path finder resolves
application.x.y to the already-imported docsgpt.x.y object, so old imports
and entry points (celery -A application.app.celery,
uvicorn application.asgi:asgi_app) keep working with a FutureWarning.
- Celery registers every application.* task name as an alias of its
docsgpt.* task on start-up, so messages queued by the previous release still
run. The redbeat key prefix moves to redbeat:docsgpt:v2: so schedule entries
the previous release wrote are left unread instead of firing twice.
The backend image builds from the repository root (docker build -f
docsgpt/Dockerfile .) so it can ship the alias package; a root .dockerignore
allow-lists docsgpt/ and application/ and keeps caches, local data, .env
files, the sample index files and the Dockerfile out. Compose and the image
workflows point at the new context.
Five defects from a review of the embeddings work, four of them silent.
- Write local files atomically. `LocalStorage.save_file` streamed straight onto
the destination, so an interrupted write left a truncated file. `reembed`
rewrites every index it touches, and a half-written `index.faiss` loads at
neither the old width nor the new one -- the source was unrecoverable, with
no backup and no temp file left behind. Bytes now land beside the destination
and move into place with `os.replace`. S3 was already safe (single PUT).
- Read pgvector chunks a page at a time. `reembed_pgvector` materialised every
`(id, text)` row for a source before embedding -- ~1.6 GB at 200k chunks and
several times that for non-Latin scripts, with the `PGresult` held alongside
until the cursor closed. Inside the shipped 4Gi limit, while also holding the
model, that is an OOMKill -- which is exactly the SIGKILL the point above
turned into a destroyed index. It now walks the source by keyset.
- Bound the first wave of delegated embeds. The failure cooldown is only latched
once the first `get()` returns, so every request already in flight paid the
full EMBEDDINGS_DELEGATE_TIMEOUT: measured 64 threads all timing out together,
and at the shipped 60s across a 96-thread WSGI pool that is an API serving
nothing at all, health checks included. One caller now probes while the rest
fail fast; after a single success the gate leaves the path entirely.
- Ship EMBEDDINGS_NAME commented in .env-template. The comment directly above it
says to leave it commented when upgrading, and the line shipped set. Any value
reaching `.env` lands in `model_fields_set`, which makes `resolve_embeddings_pin`
bail -- so a template-derived `.env` disabled the legacy pin outright and
repointed a populated index at a different 768-dim model, where no width check
fires. The pin already picks granite for a fresh install and mpnet for an
existing one, so nothing needs to be set by hand.
- Stamp `sources.model` on wiki sources. They were created with the column NULL
and then embedded like any other source, and the boot check reads NULL as
"pre-dates the column, therefore the legacy model" -- reporting a correctly
embedded source as stale on every startup of every process. Stamped at
creation, and again on each page re-embed so existing rows heal.
The two docs that promised the FAISS index survives a failed run said so of the
embed only; both now describe the write, and upgrading.mdx says to stop ingest
for the duration.
Query embedding moved to the Celery worker, but nothing that ships was
updated to consume the queue it dispatches to.
- Add `embeddings` to every worker `-Q` list (compose x3, k8s, devcontainer,
sandbox README). Without it a search blocked for EMBEDDINGS_DELEGATE_TIMEOUT
and then answered with no retrieved context, because classic_rag swallows the
dispatch error and skips the source -- bad answers, not an error.
- Skip the task_postrun heap reclaim for the embed task. The full gc.collect()
was written for docling/torch parses; on a worker holding the ONNX model it
measured ~86ms against ~8ms for the embed itself, a 9x slowdown of the round
trip for a task that allocates a few kilobytes.
- Resolve the installation pin in the re-embed script. It never imports
application.app, so an install pinned in app_metadata with no EMBEDDINGS_NAME
set -- every stock k8s deployment, whose manifests carry no embedding config
-- would rewrite its whole index with the legacy default and stamp
sources.model to match, then be told by the boot warning to run it again.
- Fail fast for 30s after a failed dispatch. fanout.embed_questions falls back
to letting each store embed its own query, so one dead-worker retrieval paid
the timeout once in the fan-out and again per source.
- Forget the task result. Nothing reads it back: the key is per-dispatch UUID,
not content-addressed, so a repeated query mints another. Left alone every
search leaked ~17KB for result_expires (7 days) into the Redis the broker
shares -- on the bundled k8s manifest (1Gi, no maxmemory policy) that is an
OOMKill that takes the broker with it.
- Release the model ensure_vector_schema loads to read the width of an
unregistered model, in a process that delegates and would never call it.
The width still comes from the model, not the table, so the mismatch check
the hook exists for keeps working.
- Correct the docs that said otherwise: embeddings.md claimed the standard
deployment worked unchanged, upgrading.mdx said no action was needed, and
the settings table listed none of the three delegation settings.
Follow-up review pass over the embeddings branch.
- Fold an oversized header back into the body, and drop header duplication
when it would leave under a quarter of the chunk budget. A header at or
over max_tokens collapsed the body budget to one token, so a document
became one chunk per body token, each still over the cap: a 95 KB file
produced 20k chunks of 2563 tokens against a 1250 cap. Also clamp
max_tokens to at least 1, as the strategy chunkers already do.
- Emit a header-only document as its own chunk. With no body piece to
attach it to, splitting returned nothing and the document was dropped
from the index with no error and no log line.
- Skip add_custom_model for a repository FastEmbed already ships. It
rejects a name it knows, so configuring any of its ~30 built-ins
(MiniLM, bge, e5, gte, ...) failed every embed call and every query.
- Decide "the user chose this model" by comparing against the field
default rather than model_fields_set, which is true for anything read
from .env. Every setup script has always written EMBEDDINGS_NAME, so an
upgraded remote-embeddings install inherited mpnet's 384-token window
and silently clipped ~80% off every chunk.
- Cut tiktoken splits at character offsets instead of decoding each token
window. A multi-byte character straddling a boundary decoded to U+FFFD
on both sides, destroying one character at roughly one boundary in five
on CJK text -- including at the default max_tokens of 2000.
- Let the re-embed script open a FAISS index whose width does not match
the configured model. That mismatch is the main reason to run it, and
the error recommending the script was raised by the script itself, so
the advice failed on every source.
- Re-embed graph_nodes.name_embedding when GraphRAG is enabled. Those
vectors seed every traversal and share the chunk vectors' width, so a
same-width model swap left the graph retrieving from the old space with
nothing to report it.
- Prefetch the models before copying the application source, so editing
any file no longer re-downloads ~780 MB of artifacts on every build.
- Mirror the setup.sh embedding menu into setup.ps1: granite default,
legacy mpnet as an explicit option, and both engine flows updated.
Windows users were otherwise stranded on mpnet with no granite path.
- Drop the unused EmbeddingsWrapper.tokenizer property.
