Soliplex

An AI-powered Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system with a modern web interface.

Features

  • RAG-Powered Search: Semantic document retrieval using LanceDB vector database
  • Multi-Room Architecture: Independent chat environments (rooms) with separate configurations and knowledge bases
  • Multiple LLM Providers: OpenAI, Ollama, Google Gemini, Anthropic, Groq, and compatible APIs
  • AI Agent System: Function calling and tool integration for AI agents
  • OIDC Authentication: Enterprise SSO with Keycloak integration
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP): Extended AI capabilities through MCP client or exposing Room as MCP server
  • Real-time Communication: WebSocket-based conversation streams
  • Quiz System: Custom quizzes with LLM-based evaluation
  • Observability: Logfire integration for monitoring

Quick Start

For detailed installation instructions, see the Prerequisites Guide.

Install Soliplex and dependencies

# Install (requires uv: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)
uv sync

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your settings

Index Soliplex docs into RAG database

source venv/bin/activate
export OLLAMA_BASE_URL=<your Ollama server / port>
# Run docling-serve if you have not installed the full haiku.rag
docker run -p 5001:5001 -d -e DOCLING_SERVE_ENABLE_UI=1 \
  quay.io/docling-project/docling-serve
haiku-rag --config example/haiku.rag.yaml \
  init --db  db/rag/rag.lancedb
haiku-rag --config example/haiku.rag.yaml \

Backend Server CLI Commands

The soliplex-cli command provides several utilities for managing your Soliplex installation:

Check Configuration

Validate your configuration file and report any missing secrets or environment variables:

soliplex-cli check-config example/minimal.yaml

List Rooms

Show all configured chat rooms:

soliplex-cli list-rooms example/minimal.yaml

List Completions

Show all configured completion endpoints:

soliplex-cli list-completions example/minimal.yaml

List Secrets

Display all configured secrets and their status:

soliplex-cli list-secrets example/minimal.yaml

List Environment Variables

Show all environment variables and their values:

soliplex-cli list-environment example/minimal.yaml

List OIDC Providers

Display configured OIDC authentication providers:

soliplex-cli list-oidc-auth-providers example/minimal.yaml

Export Configuration

Export the installation configuration as YAML:

soliplex-cli config example/minimal.yaml

Export AG-UI Feature Schemas

Export AG-UI feature schemas as JSON:

soliplex-cli agui-feature-schemas example/minimal.yaml

Run Backend Server

Start the Soliplex backend server:

export OLLAMA_BASE_URL=<your Ollama server / port>
soliplex-cli serve example/minimal.yaml --no-auth-mode

Server options:

  • --no-auth-mode - Disable authentication (for development/testing)
  • --host HOST - Bind to specific host (default: 127.0.0.1)
  • --port PORT - Listen on specific port (default: 8000)
  • --reload {python,config,both} - Enable hot reload for python code, config, or both
  • --reload-dirs DIRS - Additional directories to watch for reload
  • --reload-includes PATTERNS - File patterns to include in reload watch
  • --proxy-headers - Enable proxy header parsing
  • --forwarded-allow-ips IPS - Trusted IP addresses for proxy headers

Frontend

cd src/flutter
flutter pub get
flutter run -d chrome --web-port 59001

TUI

The TUI does not yet support authentication, so run the back-end with --no-auth-mode when using the TUI.

Within the virtual environment where you installed soliplex:

soliplex-tui --help

 Usage: soliplex-tui [OPTIONS]

╭─ Options ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ --version             -v                                                     │
│ --url                      TEXT  Base URL for Soliplex back-end              │
│                                  [default: http://127.0.0.1:8000]            │
│ --help                -h         Show this message and exit.                 │
╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
soliplex-tui

By default, the TUI connects to a Soliplex back-end server running on port 8000 on your local machine:

soliplex-tui --url http://127.0.0.1:8000

Development

This project uses PEP 735 Dependency Groups for managing development dependencies. This is the modern standard supported by uv and recent versions of pip.

Installing dev dependencies

# Using pip (requires pip 24.0+)
pip install -e . --group dev

# Using uv (recommended)
uv sync --group dev

Note: The older syntax pip install -e ".[dev]" is for [project.optional-dependencies] and will NOT work with [dependency-groups]. Always use --group dev instead.

Available dependency groups

Group Purpose
dev Testing tools (pytest, ruff, coverage)
docs Documentation (mkdocs, mkdocs-material)
postgres PostgreSQL support (asyncpg)
tui Terminal UI (textual, typer)

Running tests

# Run unit tests with coverage
pytest

# Run with specific coverage threshold (CI enforces 100%)
pytest --cov-fail-under=100

# Run linting
ruff check

# Check formatting
ruff format --check

Configuration

YAML-based configuration with:

  • Installation (installation.yaml) - Main config referencing agents, rooms, and OIDC providers
  • Rooms (rooms/*.yaml) - Individual chat room configurations with RAG settings
  • Agents (completions/*.yaml) - LLM provider and model configurations
  • OIDC (oidc/*.yaml) - Authentication provider settings

See example/ directory for sample configurations.

Environment Variables

Non-secret environment variables can and mostly should be configured directly in the installation.yaml file (e.g. example/installation.yaml, example/minimal.yaml, etc.).

Those files are checked into the Soliplex repository, and cannot know the URL of your Ollama server (if you use Ollama), They therefore declare the OLLAMA_BASE_URL variable without a value, meaning that the configuration expects the value to be present in the environments (see: https://soliplex.github.io/soliplex/config/environment/).

Those files also must not contain secrets (API keys, etc.): instead, they configure secret values to be found from the environment (see https://soliplex.github.io/soliplex/config/secrets/).

If your installation configures such values to be found from the OS environment, you can create a .env file which defines them, and arrange for the file to be sourced into your environment before startin the Soliplex application.

Copy .env.example to .env and edit it to configure your values:

cp .env.example .env

Documentation

Comprehensive documentation is available in the docs/ directory:

Running with Docker

See the Docker Deployment Guide for complete instructions:

# Setup
