Create Storage

To get started with Retriqs, you must first create a storage space. A storage acts as a container for your uploaded documents, generated knowledge graphs, and vector embeddings. It ensures that data remains strictly isolated per project or workflow.

Prerequisites

  • A working installation of the Retriqs app.
  • An API Key for OpenAI, or a local Ollama instance running, so the system can generate embeddings and LLM responses.

Create Storage

Creating a new storage

  1. Open the Retriqs app.
  2. Navigate to the Storage section in the sidebar.
  3. Click on Create Storage.
  4. Provide a recognizable name for your new storage workspace (for example, "Company Guidelines").
  5. After creating the storage, you must configure its settings, such as your LLM and embedding providers.
  6. In the configuration panel, select your preferred provider (Retriqs natively supports smooth integration with Ollama and OpenAI).
  7. Once configured and saved, Retriqs will automatically provision the underlying storage architecture (such as an isolated directory within rag_storage/ or dedicated database records) for this specific workspace.

For detailed configuration steps, refer to the Configuration documentation.
