Soliplex

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

Quickstart

The fastest way to stand up and run your own Soliplex is to let a skills-compatible AI agent (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, Copilot) do it for you. Soliplex publishes two Agent Skills that teach your agent how to deploy and operate it -- no need to clone or hack on this repository:

• soliplex-template scaffolds a complete, runnable Docker Compose stack (nginx, the Soliplex backend, the Flutter frontend, an ingester, Postgres, and a TUI). It prompts for the parameters you care about -- project name, host ports, your Ollama URL, models, version pins, auth mode -- and writes out the full project. Published from soliplex/soliplex-template.

• soliplex-docs is the full Soliplex documentation, so your agent can answer questions about installing, configuring, and operating your deployment straight from the official docs. Published from this repository.

Install the skills

Each skill is a tarball that unpacks into a soliplex-template/ or soliplex-docs/ directory. Install them by unpacking both into whichever directory your agent scans for skills. The directory differs per agent:

Agent	Per user	Per project
Claude Code	~/.claude/skills	.claude/skills
OpenAI Codex	~/.agents/skills	.agents/skills
GitHub Copilot	~/.copilot/skills	.github/skills

Point SKILLS_DIR at the row that matches your agent (the examples below use the Claude Code per-user location) and unpack both skills into it:

SKILLS_DIR=~/.claude/skills
mkdir -p "$SKILLS_DIR"

# Deployment scaffolder
curl -fsSL \
  https://github.com/soliplex/soliplex-template/releases/download/template-skill-latest/soliplex-template-skill.tar.gz \
  | tar xz -C "$SKILLS_DIR"

# Documentation
curl -fsSL \
  https://github.com/soliplex/soliplex/releases/download/docs-latest/soliplex-docs-skill.tar.gz \
  | tar xz -C "$SKILLS_DIR"

For example, to install into a Codex project instead:

SKILLS_DIR=.agents/skills

The table covers the common cases; consult your agent's documentation (linked above) for the authoritative list of locations it scans. Both skills bundle a scripts/skill_versions.py helper to list published builds and upgrade in place; see docs/docs-skill.md for details.

Use the skills

Start your agent in the directory where you want the deployment to live and ask it to scaffold a stack -- for example, "Use the soliplex-template skill to set up a new Soliplex deployment." The skill walks you through the parameters and generates the project; then docker compose up brings it online (the frontend defaults to http://localhost:9000).

Tell your agent to answer configuration or operations questions about Soliplex using the soliplex-docs skill -- for example, "Use the soliplex-docs skill to answer questions about configuring or operating a Soliplex installation." and then "What is a Soliplex installation?"

The remainder of this README covers running Soliplex from a source checkout and developing on the backend itself. If you only want to use Soliplex, the two skills above are all you need.

Overview

Soliplex is a self-hosted, full-stack RAG/AI system: a FastAPI backend (a thin configuration and authentication layer around pydantic-ai), a hardened Flutter client, and a terminal UI.

See the Overview for what Soliplex is, when (and when not) to use it, how it compares to alternatives, and the full feature and architecture breakdown.

Running from source

The skills-based Quickstart above is the recommended path for most users. To run Soliplex from a checkout of this repository instead, see:

• Prerequisites -- system requirements and an installation checklist.
• Server Setup -- install the backend, run the example installations, and start the server.
• soliplex-cli reference -- every subcommand and option (config audits, serving, admin users, model pulls, ...).
• RAG Database -- create and populate the LanceDB database the examples expect.
• Client Setup -- run the Flutter web client.
• Docker Deployment -- run the full stack with Docker Compose.

Configuration

Soliplex is configured by a tree of YAML files rooted at an installation.yaml; sample configurations live in the example/ directory. See the configuration docs:

• Filesystem Layout, Installation, Meta
• Rooms, Agents, Completions
• RAG, Quizzes, AI Skills, AG-UI Features
• Secrets, Environment, OIDC Authentication
• Logfire, Console logging, SQLAlchemy DBURIs

Documentation

The full documentation set lives in docs/ and is published as a Zensical site:

Tip: the same documentation is also available as the soliplex-docs Agent Skill, so a skills-compatible agent can answer questions straight from it -- see the Quickstart above.

Development

Contributor guidance -- setup, build and test commands, code style, the configuration system, and how to add tools, rooms, and API endpoints -- lives in DEVELOPMENT.md. AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md are condensed, agent-facing versions of the same guidance.
