ChromaDB is an embedding database for building search and retrieval systems.
|
|
|
|
## How I use it
|
|
|
|
I chunk documentation (VyOS, Hugo) into paragraphs, embed them with
|
|
`nomic-embed-text` via Ollama, and store the vectors in ChromaDB for
|
|
semantic search.
|
|
|
|
## Stack
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Documents → Chunker → Ollama embeddings → ChromaDB → Query API
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Key concepts
|
|
|
|
- **Collection**: a named group of embeddings (like a table).
|
|
- **Document**: the raw text stored alongside the vector.
|
|
- **Metadata**: key-value pairs for filtering results.
