| ## 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 restarts but **not** |
| rebuilds. |
| --- |
| ## ⚠ Do Not Edit or Rebuild |
| - Any code or README change deletes all your data. |
| - Do **not** commit changes once you’ve started using the Space. |
| - If you accidentally rebuild, all documents and work are lost. |
| - Rebuilds may also occur if Hugging Face updates backend infrastructure. Back up your 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 |
| --- |
| ## 🛠 Version Info |
| - This setup uses **Flowise version 3.0.0** |
| - Compatibility may vary with later versions |
