Check that this permission is expected for this type of plugin.

What You'll Need

Set these up before or after installing:

Base directory for document storage (defaults to current working directory). Ignored when BASE_DIRS is set.Optional

Environment variable: BASE_DIR

JSON array of base directories (e.g. '["/a","/b"]'). Takes precedence over BASE_DIR.Optional

Environment variable: BASE_DIRS

Path to LanceDB database directory (defaults to ./lancedb/)Optional

Environment variable: DB_PATH

Directory where Transformers.js models are cached (defaults to ./models/)Optional

Environment variable: CACHE_DIR

Embedding model name (defaults to Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2)Optional

Environment variable: MODEL_NAME

Maximum file size in bytes (defaults to 104857600 / 100MB)Optional

Environment variable: MAX_FILE_SIZE

Maximum distance threshold for filtering search results. Results with distance greater than this value will be excluded. Lower values mean stricter filtering (e.g., 0.5 for high relevance only)Optional

Environment variable: RAG_MAX_DISTANCE

Grouping mode for quality filtering. 'similar' returns only the most similar group (stops at first distance jump). 'related' includes related groups (stops at second distance jump). Unset means no grouping filterOptional

Environment variable: RAG_GROUPING

Maximum number of files to keep in search results. Results are filtered to include only chunks from the top N best-scoring files. For example, 1 returns only the single best-matching file's chunks. Unset means no file filtering.Optional

Environment variable: RAG_MAX_FILES

Minimum chunk length in characters (1-10000, defaults to 50). Chunks shorter than this threshold are filtered out during ingestion.Optional

Environment variable: CHUNK_MIN_LENGTH

Execution device for the embedder (defaults to cpu). Passed straight to ONNX Runtime; see the Transformers.js device source for the supported backend names. If the requested device fails to initialize, the server throws an error.Optional

Environment variable: RAG_DEVICE

Embedding quantization dtype for the embedder (defaults to fp32). Opt-in and pass-through; accepts any dtype the chosen model provides (fp32, fp16, q8, int8, ...). If the model has no variant for the requested dtype, the server throws an error. Changing this changes the embedding space — re-ingest existing data.Optional

Environment variable: RAG_DTYPE

Keyword boost factor for hybrid search (0.0-1.0, defaults to 0.6). 0 means semantic similarity only; higher values increase the keyword-match contribution to the final score.Optional

Environment variable: RAG_HYBRID_WEIGHT
