| ## 💾 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
