Soliplex Agents
Agents for collecting documents from multiple sources — local filesystems, WebDAV servers, web pages, and source code management platforms (GitHub, Gitea) — and writing them to a local download directory for downstream processing. Each document is written with a .meta.json sidecar capturing its MIME type and other metadata, and synchronization state is tracked locally so subsequent runs only fetch what changed.

Installation
Requirements: - Python 3.13 or higher
Documents are written to the local filesystem (DOWNLOAD_DIR). Indexing
into a vector store is handled by an optional haiku-rag load step (see
haiku-rag Loading), which runs haiku-ingester
against the downloaded files.
Using uv (Recommended)
Using pip
From Source
Configuration
The agents use environment variables for configuration. Create a .env file or export these variables:
Required Configuration
Agents write fetched documents to the local filesystem.
# Directory where downloaded documents are written. Each run stores files
# under <DOWNLOAD_DIR>/<source>/, preserving the source directory structure.
# Every document is accompanied by a <filename>.meta.json sidecar containing
# its MIME type and any other available metadata.
DOWNLOAD_DIR=downloads
# Directory for local synchronization state (content hashes + SCM commit
# markers), one SQLite file per source.
STATE_DIR=sync_state
SCM Configuration
The agents use unified authentication settings that work across all SCM providers (GitHub, Gitea, etc.):
# SCM authentication token (GitHub personal access token or Gitea API token)
scm_auth_token=your_scm_token_here
# SCM base URL (required for Gitea, optional for GitHub)
# For Gitea: Full API URL including /api/v1
# For GitHub: Defaults to https://api.github.com if not specified
scm_base_url=https://your-gitea-instance.com/api/v1
Examples:
For GitHub:
For Gitea:
WebDAV Configuration
# WebDAV server URL
WEBDAV_URL=https://webdav.example.com
# WebDAV authentication
WEBDAV_USERNAME=your-username
WEBDAV_PASSWORD=your-password
# Disable TLS certificate verification (default: true)
SSL_VERIFY=true
All WebDAV credentials can also be provided via command-line options (--webdav-url, --webdav-username, --webdav-password), which override the environment variables.
Optional Configuration
# File extensions to include (default: md,pdf,doc,docx)
EXTENSIONS=md,pdf,doc,docx
# Logging level (default: INFO)
LOG_LEVEL=INFO
# API Server Configuration
SERVER_HOST=127.0.0.1
SERVER_PORT=8001
# Authentication (for API server)
API_KEY=your-api-key
API_KEY_ENABLED=false
AUTH_TRUST_PROXY_HEADERS=false
# Manifest scheduling (requires SCHEDULER_ENABLED=true)
MANIFEST_DIR=/path/to/manifests
# haiku-rag loading (runs `haiku-ingester run-batch` after each manifest run)
HAIKU_LOAD_ENABLED=false
LANCEDB_DIR=/var/lib/lancedb # holds <source>.lancedb per source
HAIKU_PATH=/etc/haiku # base dir for haiku-rag config files
# HAIKU_DEFAULT_CONFIG=haiku.rag.default.yaml # config filename under HAIKU_PATH
# HAIKU_LOAD_COMMAND=haiku-ingester --config={haiku_cfg} run-batch --db={db}
# HAIKU_LOAD_TIMEOUT=1800
# HAIKU_LOAD_CWD=/var/lib/ingester # subprocess working dir (default: inherit)
# S3-compatible storage (for urls_file references using s3:// URLs)
S3_ENDPOINT_URL=https://minio.example.com:9000
See haiku-rag Loading for what these settings do.
Git CLI Mode
For large repositories or rate-limited APIs, you can use the git command-line for file synchronization instead of API calls. This clones the repository locally and reads files from the filesystem.
# Enable git CLI mode
scm_use_git_cli=true
# Optional: Custom directory for cloned repos (default: system temp directory)
scm_git_repo_base_dir=/var/lib/soliplex/repos
# Optional: Timeout for git operations in seconds (default: 300)
scm_git_cli_timeout=600
How it works:
- First sync: Clones the repository to a local temp directory (shallow clone, single branch)
- Subsequent syncs: Pulls latest changes using
git pull --ff-only - Pull failure: If pull fails, deletes the local clone and re-clones
- After sync: Runs
git clean -fdto remove untracked files
Notes:
- Issues are still fetched via API (git doesn't provide issue data)
- Requires git to be installed in the runtime environment
- The Docker image includes git by default
- All credentials are masked in log output for security
Security: Git CLI mode uses strict input sanitization to prevent command injection. Only alphanumeric characters, dashes, underscores, dots, and forward slashes are allowed in repository names and paths.
Usage
The CLI tool si-agent provides six main modes of operation:
- fs: Filesystem agent for ingesting local documents
- web: Web agent for ingesting HTML pages from URLs
- scm: SCM agent for ingesting from Git repositories
- webdav: WebDAV agent for ingesting documents from WebDAV servers
- manifest: Manifest runner for declarative multi-source ingestion
- serve: REST API server exposing agent functionality via HTTP
Filesystem Agent
Quick Start
Ingest documents directly from a directory:
That's it! The tool automatically: 1. Scans the directory 2. Builds the configuration 3. Validates files 4. Ingests documents
Traditional Workflow (with inventory.json)
If you want to review or modify the inventory before ingestion:
1. Build Configuration (Optional)
Scan a directory and create an inventory file:
This creates an inventory.json file containing metadata for all discovered files. You can edit this file to add custom metadata or exclude specific files.
2. Validate Configuration
Check if files are supported (accepts file OR directory):
# Validate existing inventory file
si-agent fs validate-config /path/to/inventory.json
# Or validate directory directly (builds config on-the-fly)
si-agent fs validate-config /path/to/documents
3. Check Status
See which files need to be ingested (accepts file OR directory):
# Using inventory file
si-agent fs check-status /path/to/inventory.json my-source-name
# Or using directory directly
si-agent fs check-status /path/to/documents my-source-name
Add --detail flag to see the full list of files:
The status check compares file hashes against the local sync state: - new: File doesn't exist in local state - mismatch: File exists but content has changed - match: File is unchanged (will be skipped during the run)
4. Load Inventory
Ingest documents (accepts file OR directory):
# From inventory file
si-agent fs run-inventory /path/to/inventory.json my-source-name
# Or from directory directly (recommended!)
si-agent fs run-inventory /path/to/documents my-source-name
Advanced options:
# Process a subset of files (e.g., files 10-50)
si-agent fs run-inventory inventory.json my-source --start 10 --end 50
SCM Agent
1. List Issues
List all issues from a repository:
# GitHub
si-agent scm list-issues github myorg/my-repo
# Gitea
si-agent scm list-issues gitea admin/my-repo
2. Get Repository Files
List files in a repository:
# GitHub
si-agent scm get-repo github myorg/my-repo
# Gitea
si-agent scm get-repo gitea admin/my-repo
3. Load Inventory
Ingest both files and issues from a repository. Issues are rendered as Markdown documents with their comments.
# GitHub
si-agent scm run-inventory github myorg/my-repo
# Gitea
si-agent scm run-inventory gitea admin/my-repo
Files and issues are written under <DOWNLOAD_DIR>/<source>/. Issues are
saved as Markdown (.md) documents.
4. Incremental Sync
Run commit-based incremental synchronization. Only processes files that changed since the last sync, significantly reducing API calls and bandwidth usage.
# First run performs full sync and establishes sync state
si-agent scm run-incremental gitea admin/my-repo
# Subsequent runs only process changes since last sync
si-agent scm run-incremental gitea admin/my-repo --branch main
Output JSON format:
5. Sync State Management
View and manage sync state for repositories:
# View current sync state
si-agent scm get-sync-state gitea admin/my-repo
# Reset sync state (forces full sync on next run)
si-agent scm reset-sync gitea admin/my-repo
WebDAV Agent
The WebDAV agent allows you to ingest documents directly from WebDAV servers (like Nextcloud, ownCloud, SharePoint, etc.).
Quick Start
Ingest documents directly from a WebDAV directory:
# Set up environment
export WEBDAV_URL=https://webdav.example.com
export WEBDAV_USERNAME=your-username
export WEBDAV_PASSWORD=your-password
# Ingest documents from WebDAV path
si-agent webdav run-inventory /documents my-source-name
That's it! The tool automatically: 1. Connects to the WebDAV server 2. Scans the directory 3. Builds the configuration 4. Validates files 5. Ingests documents
Commands
1. Export URLs
Scan a WebDAV directory and export discovered file URLs to a file for review. This uses only directory listing (PROPFIND) and does not download file content:
si-agent webdav export-urls /documents urls.txt \
--webdav-url https://webdav.example.com \
--webdav-username user \
--webdav-password pass
The output file contains one absolute WebDAV path per line:
Only files matching the configured EXTENSIONS filter are included.
2. Validate Configuration
Check if files are supported (downloads files to compute hashes):
# Validate WebDAV directory directly
si-agent webdav validate-config /documents \
--webdav-url https://webdav.example.com \
--webdav-username user \
--webdav-password pass
3. Check Status
See which files need to be ingested:
si-agent webdav check-status /documents my-source-name \
--webdav-url https://webdav.example.com \
--webdav-username user \
--webdav-password pass
Add --detail flag to see the full list of files.
4. Load Inventory
Ingest documents from a WebDAV directory:
Advanced options:
si-agent webdav run-inventory /documents my-source \
--webdav-url https://webdav.example.com \
--webdav-username user \
--webdav-password pass
5. Run from URL List
Ingest specific files from a URL list file instead of scanning an entire directory. This is useful when you want to ingest only a curated subset of files:
Each URL in the file is processed independently. If a file fails to download, the error is recorded and processing continues with the remaining URLs. Results are written to a JSON file named <input-file>.results.<timestamp>.json:
[
{"url": "/documents/report.md", "status": "success"},
{"url": "/documents/broken.pdf", "status": "error", "error_message": "404 Not Found"}
]
Use --skip-hash-check to skip downloading files for hash comparison, which avoids downloading each file twice (once for hashing, once for ingestion):
Manifest Runner
The manifest runner executes declarative YAML manifests that define multi-source ingestion jobs. A single manifest can combine filesystem, WebDAV, SCM, and web components under a shared source and configuration.
Quick Start
Run a single manifest file:
Run all manifests in a directory:
Output results as JSON:
Manifest YAML Format
A manifest file defines the ingestion source, optional shared configuration, and one or more components:
id: my-ingestion
name: My Document Ingestion
source: my-source-name
schedule:
cron: "0 0 * * *"
config:
metadata:
project: my-project
extensions:
- md

- urls: List of URLs to fetch.
- urls_file: Path to a file containing URLs (one per line). Supports local paths,
s3://bucket/keyURLs, andhttp(s)://WebDAV URLs. - Exactly one of
url,urls, orurls_filemust be specified. - extensions: Override extensions for this component.
- metadata: Additional metadata merged with config-level metadata.
SCM (scm):
- name (required): Component name.
- platform (required):
githuborgitea. - owner (required): Repository owner or organization.
- repo (required): Repository name.
- incremental: Use commit-based incremental sync (default: false).

WebDAV (webdav):
- name (required): Component name.
- url (required): WebDAV server URL.
- path: WebDAV directory path to scan recursively.
- urls: List of specific WebDAV file paths to ingest.
- urls_file: Path to a file containing WebDAV URLs (one per line). Supports local paths,
s3://bucket/keyURLs, andhttp(s)://WebDAV URLs (fetched using the same WebDAV credentials). - Exactly one of

Configuration Precedence
Settings are resolved in the following order (highest priority first):
- Component-level settings (e.g.,
extensionson a component) - Manifest config-level settings (e.g.,
config.extensions) - Global environment settings (e.g.,
EXTENSIONSenv var)
For metadata, config-level and component-level values are merged, with component values taking precedence for duplicate keys.
Stale Document Removal
When delete_stale: true is set in a manifest's config block, the runner removes locally-stored documents that no longer appear in any of the manifest's components. This keeps the download directory in sync with the actual source data.
How it works:
- All components execute sequentially, collecting every discovered URI and its hash
- After all components complete successfully, the consolidated URI set is compared against the local sync state for the source (all components in a manifest share one source, hence one download folder and state DB)
- Any document in local state whose URI is not in the consolidated set has its file,
.meta.jsonsidecar, and state entry deleted.
Safety:
- If any component produces an error (exception or unknown type),
delete_staleis skipped entirely for that manifest run. This prevents accidental deletions when the URI set is incomplete due to a failed component. - Components that succeed still have their documents ingested normally — only the stale deletion step is skipped.
Example:
id: synced-docs
name: Synced Documentation
source: docs-source
config:
delete_stale: true
components:
- name: local-docs
type: fs
path: /data/docs
- name: shared-drive
type: webdav
url: https://webdav.example.com
path: /shared/docs
If a file is removed from /data/docs or from the WebDAV server, the next manifest run will detect that its URI is no longer present and delete it from the download directory.
Note: SCM components using incremental: true only return files changed since the last sync, not the full file listing. When delete_stale is enabled with incremental SCM components, the stale detection may not have complete URI coverage for those components. Consider using full inventory mode (incremental: false) when delete_stale is needed with SCM sources.
Scheduling
When the REST API server is started with SCHEDULER_ENABLED=true and MANIFEST_DIR is set, manifests with a schedule block are automatically registered as cron jobs:
The server loads all manifests from the directory at startup, validates that all manifest IDs are unique, and registers cron jobs for manifests that have a schedule defined.
haiku-rag Loading
When HAIKU_LOAD_ENABLED=true, a haiku-rag load is queued after each
manifest run (scheduled, startup, or CLI). The load indexes the documents
that the manifest just wrote to ${DOWNLOAD_DIR}/<source>/ into a
per-source LanceDB database. The default command is:
- One load at a time. Inside the server, loads are drained from a
single global FIFO queue by one worker, so only one
haiku-ingesterprocess runs at any moment (a capacity constraint). The CLI achieves the same by running loads sequentially after each manifest. - Command is fully configurable via
HAIKU_LOAD_COMMAND. Supported placeholders:{haiku_cfg},{db},{source},{lancedb_dir},{haiku_path}. The template is tokenized before substitution, so values containing spaces cannot inject extra arguments. - Config file resolves from the manifest's
config.haiku_config(absolute path used as-is; relative resolved underHAIKU_PATH), falling back to${HAIKU_PATH}/${HAIKU_DEFAULT_CONFIG}(haiku.rag.default.yaml). - Database path is
${LANCEDB_DIR}/<slug>.lancedb, where<slug>is the source with whitespace replaced by hyphens (composite source→composite-source.lancedb). - Environment. The subprocess inherits the server's environment plus two injected variables:
SOURCE— the sanitized download-folder name, so a haiku-rag config usingroot: ${DOWNLOAD_DIR}/${SOURCE}resolves to the ingested documents.DOWNLOAD_DIR—settings.download_dir, so the path above resolves even when it was left at its default.
Any other ${VAR} interpolated by the haiku-rag config (e.g.
OLLAMA_BASE_URL, DOCLING1_BASE_URL, DOCLING2_BASE_URL,
EMBEDDINGS_BASE_URL) must be present in the server's environment.
export HAIKU_LOAD_ENABLED=true
export LANCEDB_DIR=/var/lib/lancedb
export HAIKU_PATH=/etc/haiku
export SCHEDULER_ENABLED=true
export MANIFEST_DIR=/path/to/manifests
si-agent serve
The CLI honors the same HAIKU_LOAD_ENABLED default; override per
invocation with si-agent manifest run <path> --load / --no-load.
Note: All commands support WebDAV credentials via environment variables (WEBDAV_URL, WEBDAV_USERNAME, WEBDAV_PASSWORD) or command-line options (--webdav-url, --webdav-username, --webdav-password).
Git Bash on Windows: If using Git Bash on Windows, use double slashes for WebDAV paths to prevent path conversion (e.g., //documents instead of /documents).
How It Works
Document Ingestion Flow
- Discovery: Files are discovered from the source (filesystem, WebDAV, SCM, or web)
- Hashing: Each file's hash is calculated
- Filesystem/WebDAV/Web sources: SHA256 hash
- SCM sources: SHA3-256 hash for files, SHA256 for issues
- Status Check: The system checks which files are new or changed against the local sync state, so only new or changed files are processed
- Write: Each file is written to
<DOWNLOAD_DIR>/<source>/<source-relative-path>, with a<filename>.meta.jsonsidecar containing its MIME type and other metadata - State Update: Content hashes (and, for SCM, the latest commit SHA) are recorded in local state
- Stale Removal (optional): When
delete_staleis enabled, documents no longer present in the source are deleted from the download directory - haiku-rag Load (optional): When
HAIKU_LOAD_ENABLEDis set, the downloaded documents are indexed into a per-source LanceDB database viahaiku-ingester(see haiku-rag Loading)
Incremental Sync (SCM Agent)
The run-incremental command uses commit-based tracking for efficient synchronization:
- Sync State Check: Retrieves last processed commit SHA from local state
- Commit Enumeration: Fetches only commits since the last sync
- Change Detection: Extracts changed and removed file paths from commits
- Selective Fetch: Downloads only files that were modified
- Write: Writes changed files to
DOWNLOAD_DIRand deletes removed ones - State Update: Stores the latest commit SHA locally for subsequent syncs
This approach reduces API calls and bandwidth by 80-95% compared to full repository scans. On first run (or after reset), a full sync is performed to establish the baseline.
File Filtering
Both agents filter files by the EXTENSIONS configuration. The default extensions are: md, pdf, doc, docx.
To add more types:
It also validates that files have supported content types and rejects: - ZIP archives - RAR archives - 7z archives - Generic binary files without proper MIME types
SCM Agent
The SCM agent only includes files with extensions specified in the EXTENSIONS configuration (default: md, pdf, doc, docx).
Issues as Documents
For SCM sources, issues (including their comments) are rendered as Markdown documents and ingested alongside repository files. This enables full-text search and analysis of issue discussions.
Examples
As an example, the soliplex documentation) can be loaded using both the filesystem and via git.
Example 1: Ingest Local Documents
Quick version (NEW - no inventory.json needed):
git clone https://github.com/soliplex/soliplex.git
# Set up environment
export DOWNLOAD_DIR=./downloads
# Write directly from directory!
uv run si-agent fs run-inventory <path-to-checkout>/soliplex/docs soliplex-docs
# Files land under ./downloads/soliplex-docs/, each with a .meta.json sidecar
ls ./downloads/soliplex-docs
Traditional version (with inventory.json):
git clone https://github.com/soliplex/soliplex.git
# Set up environment
export DOWNLOAD_DIR=./downloads
# Create inventory (optional - only if you want to review/modify it)
uv run si-agent fs build-config <path-to-checkout>/soliplex/docs
# You may see messages about ignored files
# If you want to update the inventory.json file, do it here
# Validate configuration
uv run si-agent fs validate-config <path-to-checkout>/soliplex/docs/inventory.json
# If there are errors, fix them now
# Write
uv run si-agent fs run-inventory <path-to-checkout>/soliplex/docs/inventory.json soliplex-docs
ls ./downloads/soliplex-docs
Example 2: Ingest GitHub Repository
# Set up environment
export DOWNLOAD_DIR=./downloads
export scm_auth_token=ghp_your_token_here
# Write repository contents
si-agent scm run-inventory github mycompany/soliplex
# Files land under ./downloads/github_mycompany_soliplex_all/
ls ./downloads
Example 3: Ingest from WebDAV Server
# Set up environment
export DOWNLOAD_DIR=./downloads
export WEBDAV_URL=https://nextcloud.example.com/remote.php/dav/files/username
export WEBDAV_USERNAME=your-username
export WEBDAV_PASSWORD=your-password
# Write directly from WebDAV directory
si-agent webdav run-inventory /Documents/project-docs webdav-docs
# Files land under ./downloads/webdav-docs/
ls ./downloads/webdav-docs
Example 4: Index Ingested Documents with haiku-rag
# Set up environment
export DOWNLOAD_DIR=./downloads
export LANCEDB_DIR=./lancedb
export HAIKU_PATH=./haiku-config
export HAIKU_LOAD_ENABLED=true
# Run a manifest and load the result into ./lancedb/<source>.lancedb
si-agent manifest run /path/to/manifest.yml --load
Server API
The agents can be run as a REST API server using FastAPI. This exposes all agent operations as HTTP endpoints with support for authentication and interactive documentation.
Starting the Server
# Basic
si-agent serve
# Custom host and port
si-agent serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080
# Development mode with auto-reload
si-agent serve --reload
# Production with multiple workers
si-agent serve --workers 4
Authentication
The server supports multiple authentication methods:
1. No Authentication (Default)
2. API Key Authentication
Clients must include the API key in the Authorization header:
3. OAuth2 Proxy Headers
The server will trust authentication headers from a reverse proxy (e.g., OAuth2 Proxy):
- X-Auth-Request-User
- X-Forwarded-User
- X-Forwarded-Email

Docker Deployment
The server is designed to run in containers. The Dockerfile is a
multi-stage build exposing two selectable targets:
| Target | Purpose | Dependencies | Default command |
|---|---|---|---|
production |
Minimal runtime image (default target) | Runtime only (uv sync --no-dev) |
si-agent serve --host=0.0.0.0 |
development |
Local dev with live reload | Runtime and dev deps (uv sync) |
si-agent serve --host=0.0.0.0 --reload |
Both stages run as a non-root appuser (uid/gid 1000 by default,
overridable via the APP_UID/APP_GID build args), include git for SCM
CLI mode, expose port 8001, and define a /health healthcheck.
Production
production is the last stage, so it is built when no --target is given:
# Build the production image (default target)
docker build -t ingester-agents:latest .
# Run with environment variables
docker run -d \
-p 8001:8001 \
-e DOWNLOAD_DIR=/data/downloads \
-e API_KEY_ENABLED=true \
-e API_KEY=your-secret-key \
-v "$(pwd)/downloads:/data/downloads" \
ingester-agents:latest
# Check health
curl http://localhost:8001/health
Development
The development target includes the full toolchain and starts uvicorn
with --reload. Bind-mount the source so code changes reload live:
# Build the development image
docker build --target development -t ingester-agents:dev .
# Run with the source bind-mounted for live reload
docker run --rm -it \
-p 8001:8001 \
-v "$(pwd):/app" \
ingester-agents:dev
To match file ownership on bind mounts to your host user, pass build args:
docker build --target development \
--build-arg APP_UID="$(id -u)" \
--build-arg APP_GID="$(id -g)" \
-t ingester-agents:dev .
The Docker image includes: - Non-root user for security - Health checks for orchestration - Proper signal handling - Production-ready uvicorn configuration
Troubleshooting
Authentication Errors
Ensure your tokens have the required permissions:
- GitHub: repo scope for private repositories, public access for public repos
- Gitea: Access token with read permissions
Connection Errors
For SCM and WebDAV sources, verify the source server is reachable and any
required credentials (scm_auth_token, WEBDAV_URL/WEBDAV_USERNAME/
WEBDAV_PASSWORD) are set. Downloaded files are written under DOWNLOAD_DIR.
File Not Found Errors
For SCM agents, ensure the repository name and owner are correct. Use the exact repository name, not the URL.
Development
Setup
# Clone repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd ingester-agents
# Install dependencies with dev tools
uv sync
# Run tests
uv run pytest
# Run linter
uv run ruff check
Testing
The project uses pytest with 100% code coverage requirements:
# Run unit tests with coverage
uv run pytest
# Run specific tests
uv run pytest tests/unit/test_client.py
# Generate coverage report
uv run pytest --cov-report=html
Code Quality
The project uses Ruff for linting and code formatting:
# Check code
uv run ruff check
# Auto-fix issues
uv run ruff check --fix
# Format code
uv run ruff format

Key Components
CLI Layer:
- cli.py - Main entry point with fs, web, scm, webdav, manifest, and serve commands
- Agent-specific CLI commands in fs/cli.py, webdav/cli.py, scm/cli.py, and manifest/cli.py
Server Layer:
- server/ - FastAPI application
- server/auth.py - Flexible authentication (none, API key, OAuth2 proxy)
- server/routes/ - REST API endpoints mirroring CLI functionality
Agent Layer:
- fs/app.py - Filesystem operations (shared by CLI and API)
- web/app.py - Web page fetching and ingestion (shared by CLI and API)
- webdav/app.py - WebDAV operations (shared by CLI and API)
- scm/app.py - SCM operations (shared by CLI and API)
- manifest/runner.py - Manifest loading, validation, and dispatch to agents
- local_store.py - Writes fetched documents and metadata sidecars to DOWNLOAD_DIR
- local_state.py - Local synchronization state (content hashes + SCM commit markers)
Configuration:
- config.py - Pydantic settings and manifest component models
- Environment variables or .env file for configuration
- YAML manifest files for declarative multi-source ingestion
