💾 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
- Open Flowise via the App tab.
- Click the purple gear icon (top right) in your flow.
- Choose Export to download the
.jsonfile to your device. - 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
