1. Project Overview & Quickstart (docker/genai-stack)
File: README.md
GenAI Stack
The GenAI Stack will get you started building your own GenAI application in no time.
The demo applications can serve as inspiration or as a starting point.
Learn more about the details in the introduction blog post.

LLM Configuration
MacOS and Linux users can use any LLM that's available via Ollama. Check the "tags" section under the model page you want to use on https://ollama.ai/library and write the tag for the value of the environment variable LLM= in the .env file.
All platforms can use GPT-3.5-turbo and GPT-4 (bring your own API keys for OpenAI models).
MacOS
Install Ollama on MacOS and start it before running docker compose up using ollama serve in a separate terminal.
Linux
No need to install Ollama manually, it will run in a container as
part of the stack when running with the Linux profile: run docker compose --profile linux up.
Make sure to set the OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://llm:11434 in the .env file when using Ollama docker container.
To use the Linux-GPU profile: run docker compose --profile linux-gpu up. Also change OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://llm-gpu:11434 in the .env file.
Windows
Ollama now supports Windows. Install Ollama on Windows and start it before running docker compose up using ollama serve in a separate terminal. Alternatively, Windows users can generate an OpenAI API key and configure the stack to use gpt-3.5 or gpt-4 in the .env file.
Develop
[!WARNING]
There is a performance issue that impacts python applications in the4.24.xreleases of Docker Desktop. Please upgrade to the latest release before using this stack.
To start everything
docker compose upIf changes to build scripts have been made, rebuild.
docker compose up --buildTo enter watch mode (auto rebuild on file changes).
First start everything, then in new terminal:
docker compose watchShutdown
If health check fails or containers don't start up as expected, shutdown
completely to start up again.

The database can be explored at http://localhost:7474.
App 1 - Support Agent Bot
UI: http://localhost:8501
DB client: http://localhost:7474
- answer support question based on recent entries
- provide summarized answers with sources
- demonstrate difference between
- RAG Disabled (pure LLM response)
- RAG Enabled (vector + knowledge graph context)
- allow to generate a high quality support ticket for the current conversation based on the style of highly rated questions in the database.
(Chat input + RAG mode selector)
| (CTA to auto generate support ticket draft) | (UI of the auto generated support ticket draft) |
App 2 - Loader
UI: http://localhost:8502
DB client: http://localhost:7474
- import recent Stack Overflow data for certain tags into a KG
- embed questions and answers and store them in vector index
- UI: choose tags, run import, see progress, some stats of data in the database
- Load high ranked questions (regardless of tags) to support the ticket generation feature of App 1.
App 3 Question / Answer with a local PDF
UI: http://localhost:8503
DB client: http://localhost:7474
This application lets you load a local PDF into text
chunks and embed it into Neo4j so you can ask questions about
its contents and have the LLM answer them using vector similarity
search.
App 4 Standalone HTTP API
Endpoints:
- http://localhost:8504/query?text=hello&rag=false (non streaming)
- http://localhost:8504/query-stream?text=hello&rag=false (SSE streaming)
Example cURL command:
curl http://localhost:8504/query-stream\?text\=minimal%20hello%20world%20in%20python\&rag\=falseExposes the functionality to answer questions in the same way as App 1 above. Uses
same code and prompts.
App 5 Static front-end
This application has the same features as App 1, but is built separate from
the back-end code using modern best practices (Vite, Svelte, Tailwind).
The auto-reload on changes are instant using the Docker watch sync config.

Svelte + Vite
This template should help get you started developing with Svelte in Vite.
Recommended IDE Setup
Need an official Svelte framework?
Check out SvelteKit, which is also powered by Vite. Deploy anywhere with its serverless-first approach and adapt to various platforms, with out of the box support for TypeScript, SCSS and Less and easily-added support for mdsvex, GraphQL, PostCSS, Tailwind CSS, and more.
Technical considerations
Why use this over SvelteKit?
- It brings its own routing solution which might not be preferable for some users.
- It is first and foremost a framework that just happens to use Vite under the hood, not a Vite app.
This template contains as little as possible to get started with Vite + Svelte, while taking into account the developer experience with regards to HMR and intellisense. It demonstrates capabilities on par with the other create-vite templates and is a good starting point for beginners dipping their toes into a Vite + Svelte project.
Should you later need the extended capabilities and extensibility provided by SvelteKit, the template has been structured similarly to SvelteKit so that it is easy to migrate.
Why global.d.ts instead of compilerOptions.types inside jsconfig.json or tsconfig.json?
Setting compilerOptions.types shuts out all other types not explicitly listed in the configuration. Using triple-slash references keeps the default TypeScript setting of accepting type information from the entire workspace while also adding svelte and vite/client type information.
Why include .vscode/extensions.json?
Other templates indirectly recommend extensions via the README, but this file allows VS Code to prompt the user to install the recommended extension upon opening the project.
Why enable checkJs in the JS template?
It is likely that most cases of changing variable types in runtime are likely to be accidental rather than deliberate. This provides advanced typechecking out of the box. Should you like to take advantage of the dynamically-typed nature of JavaScript, it is trivial to change the configuration.
Why is HMR not preserving my local component state?
HMR state preservation comes with a number of gotchas! It has been disabled by default in both svelte-hmr and @sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte due to its often surprising behavior. You can read the details here.
If you have a state that's important to retain within a component, consider creating an external store that would not be replaced by HMR.
// store.js
// An extremely simple external store
import { writable } from 'svelte/store'
export default writable(0)2. Official Technical Reference & Guides (docker/docs)
