Docling → Chroma → Ollama: simple, RAG pipeline

Project description

📄 DocRAG LLM

check out my python library at pypi https://pypi.org/project/docrag-llm/#description

pip install docrag-llm

DocRAG LLM is a simple, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline.
It connects Docling (document parsing) → ChromaDB (vector store) → Ollama (local LLMs) into a single workflow, with both a CLI and a Python API.


✨ Features

  • 🔍 Parse documents with Docling (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, HTML, etc.).
  • 📑 Chunk text intelligently for retrieval.
  • 🧠 Store embeddings in ChromaDB.
  • 🤖 Answer questions using Ollama (default: llama3.2:1b).
  • 🛡️ Designed for local execution (no cloud lock-in).
  • 🖥️ Works both as a CLI tool and a Python library.

📦 Installation

pip install docrag-llm

Requirements

  • Python 3.10+
  • Ollama installed and running
  • Models pulled locally:
    ollama pull llama3.2:1b
    ollama pull nomic-embed-text
    

🚀 Quickstart (CLI)

Ingest a document into Chroma

python -m docrag.cli ingest https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.20755   --persist ./.chroma   --collection demo
  • --persist → directory for Chroma DB (default: ./.chroma)
  • --collection → logical collection name (default: demo)
  • --embed → embedding model (default: nomic-embed-text)

Ask a question (default LLM = llama3.2:1b)

python -m docrag.cli ask "Give a concise bullet summary of the paper's main contributions."   --persist ./.chroma   --collection demo
  • --llm → LLM model to use (default: llama3.2:1b)
  • --top-k → number of chunks retrieved (default: 5)

Export parsed text

python -m docrag.cli export https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.20755   --out-dir ./exports

Saves parsed text (Markdown/JSON).


CLI Help

python -m docrag.cli --help
python -m docrag.cli ingest --help
python -m docrag.cli ask --help
python -m docrag.cli export --help

🐍 Usage as a Python Library

from docrag import DocragSettings, RAGPipeline

# Configure pipeline
cfg = DocragSettings(
    persist_path="./.chroma",
    collection="demo",
    embed_model="nomic-embed-text",
    llm_model="llama3.2:1b",
)

pipeline = RAGPipeline(cfg)

# Ingest a document
n_chunks = pipeline.ingest("https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.20755")
print(f"Ingested {n_chunks} chunks")

# Ask a question
answer = pipeline.ask("Give a concise bullet summary of the paper's main contributions.")
print(answer)

⚙️ Configuration

Both the Python API and CLI allow controlling:

  • persist_path → path to Chroma DB
  • collection → collection name
  • embed_model → embedding model (Ollama tag)
  • llm_model → LLM model (default: llama3.2:1b)
  • chunk_chars / chunk_overlap → chunking granularity

📊 Roadmap

  • Add model-check CLI command to list installed Ollama models.
  • Support multiple backends (Weaviate, Milvus).
  • Add streaming output for long answers.
  • Expand test suite with large document regression cases.
