Overview

RAGFlow is an open source, self hosted retrieval augmented generation engine built on deep document understanding. It gives you a full web workspace to build knowledge bases from your own files, parse and chunk them with layout aware models, and chat with answers that are grounded in and cited back to your content. It adds template based chunking, hybrid retrieval and an agent flow builder for multi step retrieval.

It suits teams who want accurate question answering over their own documents, running inside their own cloud account rather than sending private content to a public service.

Why the cloudimg image

The cloudimg image installs RAGFlow with its full stack already wired together: an Elasticsearch index for hybrid retrieval, a MySQL metadata store, MinIO object storage and a CPU embedding service, so document embedding can run on box with no external key. No administrator ships in the image: you create your own account at the first sign-up screen, and per instance datastore secrets are generated uniquely on first boot. The paired deployment guide covers first sign-up, connecting a language model provider and building your first knowledge base, and every deployment carries 24/7 support.

Common uses

  • Grounded question answering with citations over your own documents
  • A private knowledge base for contracts, manuals, reports or research
  • A self hosted RAG service you run inside your own cloud account
