pip install docsgpt now brings the web UI with it: `docsgpt api` serves the
API and the UI on one port.
- scripts/build_frontend.sh builds the frontend into docsgpt/static
(gitignored) the way the frontend image does: .env.development as the
production baseline, and index.html loading /config.js ahead of the
bundle. hatch admits the directory into the wheel and the sdist through
`artifacts`; the package workflows run the script before `uv build` and
fail if the wheel lacks the UI. The backend image keeps ignoring it.
- docsgpt/ui.py serves the build in front of Flask: files as they are,
hashed assets immutable, Flask's own path prefixes (taken from its URL map,
so new blueprints need no registration) passed through, every other GET
rendered as index.html for the client-side router. /config.js is generated
per request with VITE_API_HOST and VITE_BASE_URL set to the page's origin,
VITE_* environment variables winning. SERVE_UI=false leaves the API alone.
- docsgpt api configures gunicorn in code (gunicorn.app.base.Application)
instead of rewriting sys.argv, so the SIGUSR2 re-exec that gunicorn uses
for zero-downtime upgrades runs the docsgpt console script again and
works; verified with a live handover.
- Docs: the pip page says the UI is included, that DOCSGPT_HOME and
DOCSGPT_ENV_FILE are process environment variables rather than .env
entries, and the settings page describes SERVE_UI.
- The image pins DOCSGPT_HOME=/app: it ships no checkout, so the data home
no longer depends on the working directory.
- api, worker, beat and migrate print the data home and env file they
resolved, so an API and a worker started from different directories show
it.
- The worker passes -Q only when asked; a bare worker consumes every
configured queue, which honours EMBEDDINGS_QUEUE and DOCUMENT_PARSE_QUEUE.
- The worker runs through celery.start and returns its exit code; click
usage errors print usage and exit 2 instead of a traceback.
- Windows: solo pool and no embedded scheduler (celery rejects -B there),
with a pointer to the new `docsgpt beat` command, which runs the
scheduler on its own.
- prefetch_models and verify_offline parse their arguments, so --help is
help rather than a model name.
- A DOCSGPT_ENV_FILE that is not a file raises instead of booting with
defaults.
- docsgpt api binds 127.0.0.1 by default, like gunicorn and uvicorn do;
--host 0.0.0.0 exposes it. The docs say so.
- The embedded Milvus and LanceDB defaults derive from the data home, so
they follow DOCSGPT_HOME like the faiss indexes and uploads do. A checkout
run from its root and the Docker image resolve to the same paths as before.
- The docs and the pyproject comment describe the CPU torch install as two
steps (torch and torchvision from the PyTorch CPU index first, then the
docling extra): pip picks the highest version across indexes, so
--extra-index-url only yields the CPU build while that index keeps pace
with PyPI.
- AGENTS.md separates DOCSGPT_HOME (moves the data home) from
DOCSGPT_ENV_FILE (selects the .env file); the docs example uses a password
placeholder.
pip install docsgpt (extras: docling, milvus) installs the backend with a
docsgpt command: api, worker, migrate, prefetch-models, verify-offline,
reembed. Second step of the PyPI work after the package rename.
- hatchling build; the version comes from docsgpt/version.py. The wheel is
the docsgpt package with the data it reads at runtime (prompts, model
catalogs, seed config, alembic.ini and migrations) and without the
Dockerfile, the exported requirements, the sample index and local runtime
data. The application import alias stays checkout-only. uv sync installs
the package editable now that [tool.uv] package = false is gone.
- docsgpt/cli.py: api (gunicorn + BoundedDrainUvicornWorker with the image's
flags, --reload for uvicorn), worker (Celery worker with beat embedded,
--no-beat/-Q/--concurrency/--pool, solo pool on macOS), migrate, and
argument pass-through to the maintenance scripts. --help imports no app.
- docsgpt/core/paths.py: runtime data lives in a data home (DOCSGPT_HOME,
else the checkout, else cwd); DOCSGPT_ENV_FILE overrides the env file.
Settings, the dotenv load, LocalStorage and the internal upload route use
it instead of "three directories above this file", which is site-packages
for an installed package. A checkout and the Docker image behave as before.
- [project] dependencies are compatible ranges so the package installs next
to other packages; uv.lock resolves to the same versions and the exported
requirements files are unchanged.
- package-build.yml builds and checks the wheel on PRs and installs it into
a clean venv; pypi-publish.yml publishes on a published release through
trusted publishing (environment pypi), or to TestPyPI on a manual run.
- Docs: Deploying -> Install with pip. AGENTS.md notes the package.
