# RowBoat [![RowBoat Logo](/assets/rb-logo.png)](https://www.rowboatlabs.com/) This guide will help you set up and run the RowBoat applications locally using Docker. Please see our [docs](https://docs.rowboatlabs.com/) for more details. RowBoat offers several optional services that can be enabled using Docker Compose profiles. You can run multiple profiles simultaneously using: ```bash docker compose --profile rag_urls_worker --profile chat_widget --profile tools_webhook up -d ``` See the relevant sections below for details on each service. ## Table of Contents - [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) - [Local Development Setup](#local-development-setup) - [Python SDK](#option-1-python-sdk) - [HTTP API](#option-2-http-api) - [Optional Features](#optional-features) - [Enable RAG](#enable-rag) - [URL Scraping](#url-scraping) - [File Uploads](#file-uploads) - [Enable Chat Widget](#enable-chat-widget) - [Enable Tools Webhook](#enable-tools-webhook) - [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) - [Attribution](#attribution) ## Prerequisites Before running RowBoat, ensure you have: 1. **Docker Desktop** - [Download Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop) 2. **OpenAI API Key** - Obtain from your OpenAI account. 3. **MongoDB** - **Option 1**: Use an existing MongoDB deployment with your connection string. - **Option 2**: Install MongoDB locally: ```bash brew tap mongodb/brew brew install mongodb-community@8.0 brew services start mongodb-community@8.0 ``` 4. **Auth0 Account and Application Setup** - **Create an Auth0 Account**: Sign up at [Auth0](https://auth0.com). - **Create a New Application**: Choose "Regular Web Application", select "Next.js" as the application type, and name it "RowBoat". - **Configure Application**: - **Allowed Callback URLs**: In the Auth0 Dashboard, go to your "RowBoat" application settings and set `http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback` as an Allowed Callback URL. - **Get Credentials**: Collect the following from your Auth0 application settings: - **Domain**: Copy your Auth0 domain (ensure you append `https://` to the Domain that the Auth0 dashboard shows you) - **Client ID**: Your application's unique identifier - **Client Secret**: Your application's secret key - **Generate secret**: Generate a session encryption secret in your terminal and note the output for later: ```bash openssl rand -hex 32 ``` ## Local Development Setup 1. **Clone the Repository** ```bash git clone git@github.com:rowboatlabs/rowboat.git cd rowboat ``` 2. **Environment Configuration** - Copy the `.env.example` file and rename it to `.env`: ```bash cp .env.example .env ``` - Update your `.env` file with the following configurations: ```ini # OpenAI Configuration OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key # Auth0 Configuration AUTH0_SECRET=your-generated-secret # Generated using openssl command AUTH0_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000 # Your application's base URL AUTH0_ISSUER_BASE_URL=https://example.auth0.com # Your Auth0 domain (ensure it is prefixed with https://) AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret # MongoDB Configuration (choose one based on your setup) # For local MongoDB MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING=mongodb://host.docker.internal:27017/rowboat # or, for remote MongoDB MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING=mongodb+srv://:@.mongodb.net/rowboat ``` 3. **Start the App** ```bash docker-compose up --build ``` 4. **Access the App** - Visit [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000). 5. **Interact with RowBoat** There are two ways to interact with RowBoat: ### Option 1: Python SDK For Python applications, we provide an official SDK for easier integration: ```bash pip install rowboat ``` ```python from rowboat import Client client = Client( host="http://localhost:3000", project_id="", api_key="" # Generate this from /projects//config ) # Simple chat interaction messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me the weather in London"}] response_messages, state = client.chat(messages=messages) ``` For more details, see the [Python SDK documentation](./apps/python-sdk/README.md). ### Option 2: HTTP API You can use the API directly at [http://localhost:3000/api/v1/](http://localhost:3000/api/v1/) - Project ID is available in the URL of the project page - API Key can be generated from the project config page at `/projects//config` ```bash curl --location 'http://localhost:3000/api/v1//chat' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer ' \ --data '{ "messages": [ { "role": "user", "content": "tell me the weather in london in metric units" } ] }' ``` which gives: ```json { "messages": [ { "role": "assistant", "tool_calls": [ { "function": { "arguments": "{\"location\":\"London\",\"units\":\"metric\"}", "name": "weather_lookup_tool" }, "id": "call_r6XKuVxmGRogofkyFZIacdL0", "type": "function" } ], "agenticSender": "Example Agent", "agenticResponseType": "internal" } ], "state": { // .. state data } } ``` 6. **Documentation** The documentation site is available at [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) ## Enable RAG RowBoat supports RAG capabilities to enhance responses with your custom knowledge base. To enable RAG, you'll need: 1. **Qdrant Vector Database** - **Option 1**: Use [Qdrant Cloud](https://cloud.qdrant.io/) - Create an account and cluster - Note your cluster URL and API key - **Option 2**: Run Qdrant locally with Docker: ```bash docker run -p 6333:6333 qdrant/qdrant ``` 2. **Update Environment Variables** ```ini USE_RAG=true QDRANT_URL= # e.g., http://localhost:6333 for local QDRANT_API_KEY= # Only needed for Qdrant Cloud ``` ### RAG Features RowBoat supports two types of knowledge base ingestion: #### URL Scraping Enable web page scraping to build your knowledge base: 1. **Get Firecrawl API Key** - Sign up at [Firecrawl](https://firecrawl.co) - Generate an API key 2. **Update Environment Variables** ```ini USE_RAG_SCRAPING=true FIRECRAWL_API_KEY= ``` 3. **Start the URLs Worker** ```bash docker compose --profile rag_urls_worker up -d ``` #### File Uploads Enable file upload support (PDF, DOCX, TXT) for your knowledge base: 1. **Prerequisites** - An AWS S3 bucket for file storage - Google Cloud API key with Vision API enabled (for enhanced document parsing) 2. **Configure AWS S3** - Create an S3 bucket - Add the following CORS configuration to your bucket: ```json [ { "AllowedHeaders": [ "*" ], "AllowedMethods": [ "PUT", "POST", "DELETE", "GET" ], "AllowedOrigins": [ "http://localhost:3000", ], "ExposeHeaders": [ "ETag" ] } ] ``` - Ensure your AWS credentials have the following IAM policy: ```json { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "VisualEditor0", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:PutObject", "s3:GetObject", "s3:DeleteObject", "s3:ListBucket" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::/*", "arn:aws:s3:::" ] } ] } ``` 3. **Update Environment Variables** ```ini USE_RAG_UPLOADS=true AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID= AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY= RAG_UPLOADS_S3_BUCKET= RAG_UPLOADS_S3_REGION= GOOGLE_API_KEY= ``` 4. **Start the Files Worker** ```bash docker compose --profile rag_files_worker up -d ``` After enabling RAG and starting the required workers, you can manage your knowledge base through the RowBoat UI at `/projects//sources`. ## Enable Chat Widget RowBoat provides an embeddable chat widget that you can add to any website. To enable and use the chat widget: 1. **Generate JWT Secret** Generate a secret for securing chat widget sessions: ```bash openssl rand -hex 32 ``` 2. **Update Environment Variables** ```ini USE_CHAT_WIDGET=true CHAT_WIDGET_SESSION_JWT_SECRET= ``` 3. **Start the Chat Widget Service** ```bash docker compose --profile chat_widget up -d ``` 4. **Add Widget to Your Website** You can find the chat-widget embed code under `/projects//config` After setup, the chat widget will appear on your website and connect to your RowBoat project. ## Enable Tools Webhook RowBoat includes a built-in webhook service that allows you to implement custom tool functions. To use this feature: 1. **Generate Signing Secret** Generate a secret for securing webhook requests: ```bash openssl rand -hex 32 ``` 2. **Update Environment Variables** ```ini SIGNING_SECRET= ``` 3. **Implement Your Functions** Add your custom functions to `apps/tools_webhook/function_map.py`: ```python def get_weather(location: str, units: str = "metric"): """Return weather data for the given location.""" # Your implementation here return {"temperature": 20, "conditions": "sunny"} def check_inventory(product_id: str): """Check inventory levels for a product.""" # Your implementation here return {"in_stock": 42, "warehouse": "NYC"} # Add your functions to the map FUNCTIONS_MAP = { "get_weather": get_weather, "check_inventory": check_inventory } ``` 4. **Start the Tools Webhook Service** ```bash docker compose --profile tools_webhook up -d ``` 5. **Register Tools in RowBoat** - Navigate to your project config at `/projects//config` - Ensure that the webhook URL is set to: `http://tools_webhook:3005/tool_call` - Tools will automatically be forwarded to your webhook implementation The webhook service handles all the security and parameter validation, allowing you to focus on implementing your tool logic. ## Troubleshooting 1. **MongoDB Connection Issues** - Ensure local MongoDB service is running: `brew services list` - Verify connection string and network connectivity. 2. **Container Start-up Issues** - Remove all containers: `docker-compose down` - Rebuild: `docker-compose up --build` 3. **Sign-in Button Not Appearing** - If the sign-in button does not appear in the UI, ensure the Auth0 domain in your `.env` file is prefixed with `https://`. ## Attribution Our agents framework is built on top of [OpenAI Swarm](https://github.com/openai/swarm) with custom enhancements and improvements.
