💾 Flowise on Hugging Face Spaces (with Chroma Persistence)

This Space uses Flowise with local Chroma DB and SQLite to store your documents and chat history.

Once the container is running, access Flowise via the App tab above.

📍 What gets saved?

• Uploaded documents and embeddings → /data/chroma
• Chat history and upsert logs → /data/flowise.db
• Configuration file → flowise.json

These are stored in a special folder called /data which survives sleep/awaken cycles but will not restart or rebuild.

⚠️ Do Not Edit or Restart or Rebuild ⚠️

• 🚨Any code or README change deletes all your data.
• 🚨Do not commit any changes once you’ve started using the Space.
• 🚨 If you accidentally restart, all documents and work are lost
• 🚨If you accidentally rebuild, all documents and work are lost.
• Rebuilds may also occur if Hugging Face updates backend infrastructure.
• ✅ Back up your flows, credentials and any other data regularly.

🧱 How to Back Up Your Work

✅ Recommended Method: Export from Flowise UI

1. Open Flowise via the App tab.
2. Click the purple gear icon (top right) in your flow.
3. Choose Export to download the .json file to your device.
4. Unfortunately, for full data backups, you need to use a paid Hugging Face plan and mount external storage.

Note: Runtime files (like /data) are not visible or downloadable from the Files tab in free-tier Docker Spaces.

💡 Tip for Teams

• Back up your data as soon as your bot is working
• Re-upload documents only if necessary — rebuilding means starting over
