⚡ One-Command Setup (Recommended)

Get everything running in under 5 minutes with full automation!

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/prk2007/dynamic-rag.git
cd dynamic-rag

# 2. Run the automated setup script
chmod +x setup.sh && ./setup.sh

That's it! The script automatically:

✅ Creates .env files from templates
✅ Generates secure ENCRYPTION_KEY and database password
✅ Builds and starts all Docker containers
✅ Runs database migrations
✅ Installs pgvector extension
✅ Creates MinIO bucket
✅ Verifies all services are healthy

After setup completes, verify your deployment:

🗄️ Database Schema

PostgreSQL Tables

Core Tables:

customers - Customer accounts with encrypted JWT secrets and API keys
customer_config - Per-customer settings, quotas, and rate limits
documents - Document metadata, processing status, and metrics
email_verifications - Email verification tokens with expiration
usage_metrics - API usage tracking (requests, tokens, costs)

Key Fields:

-- customers table
CREATE TABLE customers (
  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
  email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
  password_hash VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
  status VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'pending_verification',
  jwt_secret TEXT NOT NULL,  -- Encrypted per-customer JWT secret
  openai_api_key TEXT,        -- Encrypted OpenAI API key
  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- documents table
CREATE TABLE documents (
  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
  customer_id UUID REFERENCES customers(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
  title VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL,
  mime_type VARCHAR(100),
  file_size BIGINT,
  status VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT 'queued',
  s3_key TEXT,
  chunk_count INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
  embedding_tokens_used INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
  embedding_cost_usd DECIMAL(10, 6) DEFAULT 0,
  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  processed_at TIMESTAMP,
  error_message TEXT
);

-- usage_metrics table
CREATE TABLE usage_metrics (
  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
  customer_id UUID REFERENCES customers(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
  metric_type VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,  -- 'api', 'embedding', 'search'
  api_endpoint VARCHAR(255),
  tokens_used INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
  cost_usd DECIMAL(10, 6) DEFAULT 0,
  request_count INTEGER DEFAULT 1,
  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

pgvector Vector Storage

Vector embeddings are stored in PostgreSQL with pgvector extension with complete customer isolation:

Document Chunks Tables:

-- For text-embedding-3-small (1536 dimensions)
CREATE TABLE document_chunks (
  id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
  document_id UUID REFERENCES documents(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
  customer_id UUID REFERENCES customers(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
  content TEXT NOT NULL,
  embedding vector(1536),  -- OpenAI text-embedding-3-small
  chunk_index INTEGER,
  start_char INTEGER,
  end_char INTEGER,
  title TEXT,
  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- For text-embedding-3-large (3072 dimensions)
CREATE TABLE document_chunks_3072 (
  id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
  document_id UUID REFERENCES documents(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
  customer_id UUID REFERENCES customers(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
  content TEXT NOT NULL,
  embedding vector(3072),  -- OpenAI text-embedding-3-large
  chunk_index INTEGER,
  start_char INTEGER,
  end_char INTEGER,
  title TEXT,
  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- HNSW indexes for fast vector similarity search
CREATE INDEX idx_chunks_embedding_hnsw ON document_chunks
USING hnsw (embedding vector_cosine_ops)
WITH (m = 16, ef_construction = 64);

CREATE INDEX idx_chunks_3072_embedding_hnsw ON document_chunks_3072
USING hnsw (embedding vector_cosine_ops)
WITH (m = 16, ef_construction = 64);

-- Indexes for customer isolation
CREATE INDEX idx_chunks_customer_id ON document_chunks(customer_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_chunks_3072_customer_id ON document_chunks_3072(customer_id);

Vector Search Query Example:

-- Find top 10 most similar chunks for a customer
SELECT 
  id, 
  document_id, 
  content, 
  title,
  1 - (embedding <=> $1::vector) AS similarity
FROM document_chunks
WHERE customer_id = $2
ORDER BY embedding <=> $1::vector
LIMIT 10;

Benefits of pgvector:

✅ High Performance: HNSW indexes provide fast approximate nearest neighbor search
✅ Customer Isolation: Row-level security with customer_id filtering
✅ ACID Compliance: Full transactional support
✅ Scalable: Handles millions of vectors efficiently
✅ Integrated: All data in one PostgreSQL database
✅ Mature Ecosystem: Battle-tested PostgreSQL reliability
✅ Easy Backup: Standard PostgreSQL backup tools

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

1. Worker Container Keeps Restarting

Symptoms:

docker-compose ps worker
# Shows: Restarting or Exit 1

Solutions:

# Check worker logs for errors
docker-compose logs worker --tail=50

# Common cause: pdf-parse module issue
# Solution: Already fixed in Dockerfile with dummy file

# Rebuild worker container
docker-compose build worker --no-cache
docker-compose up -d worker

# Verify it's running
docker-compose ps worker

2. Database Connection Errors

Symptoms:

API logs show "ECONNREFUSED" or "database connection failed"

Solutions:

# Check PostgreSQL is running
docker-compose ps postgres

# Check database logs
docker-compose logs postgres --tail=50

# Test connection manually
docker-compose exec postgres psql -U rag_user -d dynamic_rag

# Reset database (caution: deletes all data)
docker-compose down -v
docker-compose up -d postgres
docker-compose exec api npm run db:setup

3. Email Verification Not Working

Symptoms:

Users not receiving verification emails
Email verification links not working

Solutions:

# Check SendGrid API key is set in .env
grep SENDGRID_API_KEY .env

# Check email logs
docker-compose logs api | grep -i "email"

# Check email verification settings
grep EMAIL_ .env

# Verify EMAIL_VERIFICATION_URL matches your API URL
# Verify FRONTEND_URL matches your frontend URL

# Test without email (check database directly)
docker-compose exec postgres psql -U rag_user -d dynamic_rag \
  -c "UPDATE customers SET status = 'active' WHERE email = 'user@example.com';"

4. Document Upload Fails

Symptoms:

Upload returns error
Documents stuck in "queued" status
S3/MinIO errors

Solutions:

# Check MinIO is running
curl http://localhost:9000/minio/health/live

# Check MinIO credentials in .env
grep S3_ .env

# Check worker is processing jobs
docker-compose logs worker --tail=50

# Check Redis is running (needed for job queue)
docker-compose ps redis

# Manually check MinIO
# Visit http://localhost:9001 (minioadmin/minioadmin123)

# Check document status in database
docker-compose exec postgres psql -U rag_user -d dynamic_rag \
  -c "SELECT id, title, status, error_message FROM documents ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 10;"

# Retry failed documents
docker-compose restart worker

5. Frontend Can't Connect to API

Symptoms:

Frontend shows "Network Error"
CORS errors in browser console

Solutions:

# Check VITE_API_URL in frontend/.env
cat frontend/.env

# Should be: VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:3001

# Check CORS settings in backend .env
grep ALLOWED_ORIGINS .env

# Should include: http://localhost:3000

# Check API is accessible
curl http://localhost:3001/health

# Restart services
docker-compose restart api frontend

6. Documents Not Searchable

Symptoms:

Search returns no results
pgvector errors

Solutions:

# Check if embeddings were created
docker-compose exec postgres psql -U rag_user -d dynamic_rag \
  -c "SELECT id, title, status, chunk_count FROM documents WHERE customer_id = '<customer-id>';"

# Check if chunks exist in pgvector tables
docker-compose exec postgres psql -U rag_user -d dynamic_rag \
  -c "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM document_chunks WHERE customer_id = '<customer-id>';"

# Check pgvector extension is installed
docker-compose exec postgres psql -U rag_user -d dynamic_rag \
  -c "SELECT * FROM pg_extension WHERE extname = 'vector';"

# Check worker processed the document
docker-compose logs worker | grep -i "embedding"

# Verify OpenAI API key is set
# Either in .env or customer profile

# Reprocess a document (delete and re-upload)

7. Authentication Token Errors

Symptoms:

"Unauthorized" errors
"Invalid token" errors
Token expired too quickly

Solutions:

# Check ENCRYPTION_KEY is set in .env
grep ENCRYPTION_KEY .env

# Must be 64-character hex string
# Generate new one: openssl rand -hex 32

# Check JWT expiration settings
grep JWT_ .env

# Clear browser localStorage and login again
# In browser console: localStorage.clear()

# Check customer JWT secret exists
docker-compose exec postgres psql -U rag_user -d dynamic_rag \
  -c "SELECT id, email, jwt_secret IS NOT NULL as has_secret FROM customers;"

8. Rate Limiting Issues

Symptoms:

"Rate limit exceeded" errors
Too many requests errors

Solutions:

# Check Redis is running (rate limiter uses Redis)
docker-compose ps redis

# Check rate limit configuration in .env
grep RATE_LIMIT .env

# Flush Redis (resets all rate limits)
docker-compose exec redis redis-cli FLUSHALL

# Or restart Redis
docker-compose restart redis

9. High Memory Usage

Symptoms:

Services running slow
Out of memory errors

Solutions:

# Check Docker resource usage
docker stats

# Limit worker concurrency (in worker code)
# Reduce BullMQ concurrency setting

# Add memory limits to docker-compose.yml
# services:
#   worker:
#     mem_limit: 2g

# Restart services
docker-compose restart

10. Build Errors

Symptoms:

Docker build fails
npm install errors

Solutions:

# Clear Docker cache and rebuild
docker-compose build --no-cache

# Clear npm cache
npm cache clean --force
cd frontend && npm cache clean --force

# Remove node_modules and reinstall
rm -rf node_modules frontend/node_modules
npm install
cd frontend && npm install

# Check Node.js version
node --version  # Should be 18+

Debug Mode

Enable verbose logging:

# Set LOG_LEVEL=debug in .env
echo "LOG_LEVEL=debug" >> .env

# Restart services
docker-compose restart api worker

# View detailed logs
docker-compose logs -f api worker

Complete Reset

Start fresh (deletes all data):

# Stop all services
docker-compose down

# Remove all volumes (⚠️ DELETES ALL DATA)
docker-compose down -v

# Remove all images
docker-compose down --rmi all

# Clean up Docker system
docker system prune -a --volumes

# Start fresh
docker-compose up -d --build

# Initialize database
docker-compose exec api npm run db:setup
