Chain Server

About the Chain Server

The chain server is implemented as a sample FastAPI-based server so that you can experience a Q&A chat bot. The server wraps calls made to different components and orchestrates the entire flow for all the generative AI examples.

Running the Chain Server Independently

To run the server for development purposes, run the following commands:

• Build the container from source:

  $ source deploy/compose/compose.env
  $ docker compose -f deploy/compose/rag-app-text-chatbot.yaml build chain-server
  

• Start the container, which starts the server:

  $ source deploy/compose/compose.env
  $ docker compose -f deploy/compose/rag-app-text-chatbot.yaml up chain-server
  

• Open the swagger URL at http://host-ip:8081 to try out the exposed endpoints.
