Build and customize options

This guide provides build from source and specific customization options provided when building or deploying the microservice.

Manually setup environment variables

Following environment variables are required for setting up the services. It is recommended that the runner script run.sh be used to setup the variables. Refer to this section only if any of the variables need to be changed.

Project name:

• PROJECT_NAME: Helps provide a common docker compose project name and create a common container prefix for all services involved.

Minio related variables:

• MINIO_HOST: Host name for Minio Server. This is used to communicate with Minio Server by Data Store service inside container.

• MINIO_API_PORT: Port on which Minio Server’s API service runs inside container.

• MINIO_API_HOST_PORT: Port on which we want to access Minio server’s API service outside container i.e. on host.

• MINIO_CONSOLE_PORT: Port on which we want MINIO UI Console to run inside container.

• MINIO_CONSOLE_HOST_PORT: Port on which we want to access MINIO UI Console on host machine.

• MINIO_MOUNT_PATH: Mount point for Minio server objects storage on host machine. This helps persist objects stored on Minio server.

• MINIO_ROOT_USER: Username for MINIO Server. This is required while accessing Minio UI Console. This needs to overridden by setting MINIO_PASSWD variable on shell, if not using the default value.

• MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD: Password for MINIO Server. This is required while accessing Minio UI Console. This needs to overridden by setting MINIO_USER variable on shell, if not using the default value.

Embedding service related variables:

Currently, TEI is used to host the embedding model. Following variables are required as a result.

• TEI_HOST: Host IP address or service name for TEI Embedding service to help other services connect to it.

• TEI_HOST_PORT: Port on host machine where we want to access TEI embedding Service outside container.

• EMBEDDING_ENDPOINT_URL: TEI Embedding service API endpoint URL where it serves the model. This endpoint is used by other services to get results from embedding model server.

• TEI_EMBEDDING_MODEL_NAME: This provides the name model served by TEI embedding service.

PGVector DB related variables:

• PGVECTOR_HOST: Host IP address or service name for PGVector DB service to help other services connect to it.

• PGVECTOR_USER: User name for PG Vector DB. This needs to overridden by setting PGDB_USER on shell, if not using the default value.

• PGVECTOR_PASSWORD: Password for PG Vector DB. This needs to overridden by setting PGDB_PASSWD on shell, if not using the default value.

• PGVECTOR_DBNAME: Database name for PG Vector DB which contains different tables to store embeddings. This needs to overridden by setting PGDB_NAME on shell, if not using the default value.

• INDEX_NAME: Name of index used for creating embeddings. This is referenced in several PG vector DB queries and defines a particular context for retrieval. This needs to overridden by setting PGDB_INDEX on shell, if not using the default value.

• PG_CONNECTION_STRING: This is the connection string derived from previous set values for PG Vector DB. This is used by other services to connect to the databases. Override it only if you are aware of what you are doing.

Secrets and token variables

• HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN: This is the token required for running Huggingface based services and models. It is mandatory to set it and run.sh script. To set it, export HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN variable from shell.

Build from source

If you want to build the dataprep image locally instead of using pre-built images:

# Build with default tag (uses current date in YYYYMMDD format)
source ./run.sh --build dataprep
    
# Build with custom tag
source ./run.sh --build dataprep my-registry/my-dataprep:v1.0

Note: All built images are automatically labeled for easy management and cleanup.

Common Customizations

Customization options are currently provided in the context of the sample application. Refer to ChatQnA sample application for details like Helm and customization options.
