Overview

Verba — branded as "The Golden RAGtriever" — is a community-driven, open-source application that delivers an end-to-end, streamlined user interface for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). It is built and maintained by Weaviate and targets users who want to explore datasets and extract insights without assembling a pipeline from scratch, either fully locally (Ollama, HuggingFace) or through hosted LLM providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, Groq, Novita, and Upstage. Source: README.md.

Purpose and Scope

Verba's primary purpose is to lower the barrier to experimenting with RAG by bundling ingestion, chunking, embedding, retrieval, and generation into a single deployable web application. The README states the project is "designed to offer an end-to-end, streamlined, and user-friendly interface for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) out of the box" and explicitly positions itself as community software that may not receive the same maintenance cadence as a commercial product. Source: README.md.

The application is intentionally broad in scope, covering four concerns:

• Model support — pluggable embedders and generators, including local Ollama and HuggingFace models as well as cloud providers. Source: README.md.
• Data ingestion — multi-format readers for PDF, DOCX, CSV/XLSX, audio (via AssemblyAI), GitHub, GitLab, Firecrawl, Unstructured, and Upstage Document Parse. Source: README.md.
• Chunking techniques — token, sentence, semantic, recursive, HTML, Markdown, code, and JSON strategies. Source: README.md.
• RAG features — hybrid search, autocomplete, filtering, customizable metadata, and async ingestion. Source: README.md.

The current top navigation in the frontend confirms the user-facing scope: a CHAT page for retrieval/generation, an ADD page for ingestion, a DOCUMENTS page for inspection, and a SETTINGS page. Source: frontend/app/components/Navigation/NavbarComponent.tsx. The main page orchestrates these views and surfaces a status footer; a "Demo" production mode additionally hides the Import and Settings pages so that read-only viewers cannot mutate data. Source: frontend/app/page.tsx.

Architecture and Data Flow

Verba is composed of two main tiers: a Next.js/React frontend served alongside a Python (FastAPI) backend that talks to a Weaviate vector database. The frontend uses two WebSocket endpoints for streaming behavior: /ws/generate_stream for token-by-token chat completions and /ws/import_files for real-time ingestion logging. The development fallback points both to ws://localhost:8000, while in production the protocol and host are derived from window.location, so the same bundle works behind FastAPI and behind a reverse proxy. Source: frontend/app/util.ts.

    Retriever --> Weaviate
    Retriever --> Generator[Generator<br/>OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Novita, Ollama, ...]
    Generator -->|Stream| User

The frontend state is strongly typed. A RAGConfig is deep-copied before being passed to the ingestion view so that per-file overrides never mutate the global configuration; the same RAGConfig is shared with chunking, embedding, and retrieval decisions. Source: frontend/app/util.ts. The ingestion UI exposes a FileMap keyed by file identifier, where each entry carries the file's extension, byte size, and a per-file pipeline of reader/chunker/embedder, all shown in BasicSettingView. Source: frontend/app/components/Ingestion/BasicSettingView.tsx and frontend/app/types.ts.

The chat side streams structured chunks to the browser. Each DocumentChunk returned to the UI carries text, doc_name, chunk_id, doc_uuid, doc_type, and a score that the ContentView component renders as a "High Relevancy" badge when above zero, alongside the chunk's rendered Markdown and syntax highlighting. Source: frontend/app/components/Document/ContentView.tsx and frontend/app/types.ts. Metadata such as fileSize, source, and labels is rendered through a dedicated DocumentMetaView, and individual documents can be deleted from the search list via a confirmation modal. Source: frontend/app/components/Document/DocumentMetaView.tsx and frontend/app/components/Document/DocumentSearch.tsx.

Deployment, Configuration, and Community Themes

The README documents three deployment paths — pip install (pip install goldenverba), build from source (pip install -e .), and Docker Compose (docker compose --env-file <your-env-file> up -d --build) — all of which require Python >=3.10.0,<3.13.0 when not using Docker. The CLI entry point is verba start, and the application serves on localhost:8000. Source: README.md.

Configuration is split between a .env file and a runtime UI: credentials for Weaviate, Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Groq, Novita, VoyageAI, Upstage, Unstructured, AssemblyAI, GitHub, GitLab, Firecrawl, and the Weaviate Embedding Service are all supported as environment variables, and the Getting Started modal directs new users to the GitHub repo, the launch video, and the announcement blog post. Source: frontend/app/components/Login/GettingStarted.tsx and README.md.

The community evidence makes a few pain points worth highlighting for new users:

• Local LLM support is the most-asked feature — both issue #102 ("Can I use my local LLM model?") and issue #81 ("Add Ollama support for local models") are now resolved in the v2.x line, and v2.1.3 added explicit OLLAMA_MODEL and OLLAMA_EMBED_MODEL environment variables.
• Embedding failures during ingestion (issue #205) are commonly caused by misconfigured Weaviate deployments; v0.4.0 fixed the Docker default vectorizer and the README still flags "Weaviate Embedded" as unsupported on Windows.
• Programmatic access remains a top ask: issue #254 ("can I use verba via api?") and issue #381 ("MCP for Verba") both request a stable API/MCP server, which is not yet part of the public release.

Frontend

Overview

Verba's frontend is a React/Next.js single-page application that provides the end-user interface for the Golden RAGtriever. It is described in the project README as a "user-friendly interface for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) out of the box," offering an end-to-end flow for chat, document ingestion, document browsing, and application configuration. As stated in README.md, the frontend is "fully-customizable" and is shipped together with the FastAPI backend as a self-contained web app accessible at localhost:8000 after verba start.

The frontend is responsible for four user-facing concerns:

1. Chat and streaming generation — issuing retrieval-augmented queries and rendering token streams.
2. Data ingestion — configuring readers, chunkers, embedders, and metadata for each imported file.
3. Document exploration — searching, selecting, and inspecting imported documents and their chunks.
4. Application settings — managing credentials, themes, and query history.

Page-Level Architecture

The top-level entry point is frontend/app/page.tsx, which renders the navigation bar and conditionally shows one of several top-level views based on a currentPage state variable. The supported pages are CHAT, ADD, DOCUMENTS, and SETTINGS. The "Import Data" and "Settings" pages are hidden when running in Demo production mode, as visible in the conditional rendering in page.tsx:

currentPage === "ADD" && production != "Demo"

    Page --> Chat
    Page --> Ingest
    Page --> Docs
    Page --> Settings
    Chat -.stream.-> WS1
    Ingest -.import.-> WS2

The navbar is rendered by frontend/app/components/Navigation/NavbarComponent.tsx, which exposes a NavbarButton for each top-level page and a GitHub stars counter. The production != "Demo" guard is repeated there to hide import and settings entries in the demo build.

Core Components

Onboarding and Login

frontend/app/components/Login/GettingStarted.tsx renders the welcome modal that introduces Verba, links to the GitHub repo, the YouTube walkthrough, and the Weaviate blog post. Per the v2.1.3 release notes, the "Getting Started" display is now hidden after the user has seen it once, reducing friction on subsequent visits.

Ingestion Pipeline Configuration

frontend/app/components/Ingestion/BasicSettingView.tsx provides per-file configuration. It surfaces read-only file information (extension, size) and editable controls for the Reader, Chunker, Embedder, and Label selections. The component's own comment explains the rationale:

"Add metadata to the document to improve retrieval and generation. Metadata will be added to the context sent to the embedding and generation, to influence the results."

This corresponds to the v2.0.0 "Importastic" release, which introduced per-file/url ingestion control, multi-label support, and overwrite semantics, all of which are configured through this view.

Document Browsing

The Documents page is composed of three cooperating components:

• DocumentSearch.tsx lists imported documents, supports selection via setSelectedDocument, and exposes a trash button that opens a delete confirmation modal. Deletion is gated by production !== "Demo".
• ContentView.tsx renders the chunks that backed a generated answer. It displays the chunk index, a "High Relevancy" badge when contentSnippet.score > 0, and renders the chunk body through ReactMarkdown with syntax highlighting (via react-syntax-highlighter) that swaps between oneLight and oneDark based on the active theme.
• DocumentMetaView.tsx shows static metadata — file size, source URL (openable in a new tab), and labels — for the currently selected document.

Settings and Query History

Settings/SuggestionView.tsx paginates through past query suggestions stored in Weaviate, allowing the user to copy a previous query back into the chat box or delete it. Pagination is driven by a page counter with "Previous Page" / "Next Page" controls rendered at the bottom of the list.

Backend Communication

The frontend does not use REST for streaming; it talks to the FastAPI backend over two WebSocket endpoints, both constructed in frontend/app/util.ts:

Both helpers detect process.env.NODE_ENV === "development" and fall back to ws://localhost:8000, otherwise they derive the URL from window.location, switching between ws:// and wss:// based on the page protocol. This dual-mode construction is what allows the same frontend bundle to run both in next dev and when served directly by FastAPI in production builds.

Other utility helpers in the same file include deepCopyRAGConfig (used to clone the RAG configuration before applying it), closeOnClick (a UI focus helper), and arrayBufferToBase64 (used when uploading file contents over the WebSocket).

Community-Reported Frontend Behavior

Several community issues map directly onto frontend-visible behavior:

• #254 — "can i use verba via api?" The frontend exposes only the WebSocket/UI surface today; programmatic access is a long-standing request and is also driving the proposed MCP server discussed in issue #381.
• #18 — "Load and display PDF files" Document rendering flows through ContentView.tsx, which assumes chunk content arrives as pre-extracted text/markdown; raw PDF support depends on the chosen Reader on the backend.
• #102 and #81 — local LLM support The settings page is where users wire up Ollama, and v2.1.3 added OLLAMA_MODEL and OLLAMA_EMBED_MODEL environment variables to make this configuration more deterministic.

App

The Verba App is the React-based single-page frontend that powers the Golden RAGtriever. It provides a fully customizable chat, ingestion, and document-exploration UI, and it talks to the Python backend through a REST API plus two WebSocket endpoints used for streaming generation and async file ingestion. The App is mounted from frontend/app/page.tsx and is the entry point users reach at http://localhost:8000 after launching Verba with verba start (see README.md).

Purpose and Scope

The App exists to give end users a graphical surface for the full RAG workflow without writing code:

• Configure components (Reader, Chunker, Embedder, Generator) per file or URL.
• Upload local files, directories, or remote sources (GitHub, GitLab, web URLs, etc.).
• Chat against the imported corpus with streaming responses.
• Browse documents, inspect retrieved chunks, and visualize metadata.
• Tweak themes, credentials, and deployment-specific settings.

The frontend is shipped as a Next.js project under frontend/app/, and the same artifacts are served by FastAPI in production builds so the user only ever visits one origin (see frontend/app/util.ts where the WebSocket helpers fall back to the current window.location.host when not running in development).

Architecture and Component Layout

The App follows a page-switching pattern: page.tsx owns the top-level state (current page, RAG configuration, credentials, theme) and conditionally renders one of four views — DocumentView, IngestionView, SettingsView, or the default chat view. Navigation is centralized in NavbarComponent.tsx, which toggles currentPage between CHAT, ADD, DOCUMENTS, and SETTINGS (the latter two are hidden in Demo deployments). See frontend/app/page.tsx and frontend/app/components/Navigation/NavbarComponent.tsx.

    G -->|WebSocket| J[/ws/import_files/]
    D --> K[BasicSettingView]
    E --> L[ContentView / ChunkView]
    F --> M[SuggestionView]

State and Configuration

page.tsx keeps the cross-cutting RAGConfig object — the bundle of Reader, Chunker, Embedder, Generator, and retrieval settings that is sent with every chat and import request. Helper deepCopyRAGConfig in frontend/app/util.ts is used to clone the config before mutating per-file settings in the ingestion pipeline. Status messages stream into a global list surfaced by StatusLabel, which renders one of the statusTextMap entries defined in frontend/app/types.ts (DONE, STARTING, CHUNKING, EMBEDDING, INGESTING, WAITING, etc.).

Transport Layer

api.ts exposes a typed client over fetch and a host-detection routine. detectHost() first probes http://localhost:8000/api/health and falls back to the current origin, which lets the same bundle work in next dev, in Docker, and behind a reverse proxy (see frontend/app/api.ts). Streaming and ingestion bypass REST and use WebSockets:

Ingestion Workflow

The Ingestion view is the most configuration-heavy surface. BasicSettingView lets the user attach metadata and pick a Reader/Chunker/Embedder per file before queuing an import — useful because different sources benefit from different strategies (e.g., a PyPDFReader for PDFs vs. a GitHub reader for repos). Labels, file size, and extension are surfaced read-only so users can verify what is being sent (see frontend/app/components/Ingestion/BasicSettingView.tsx).

After submission the import is dispatched over the /ws/import_files socket; the backend writes per-document status events (STARTING, CHUNKING, EMBEDDING, INGESTING, DONE / ERROR) that the App renders through StatusLabel using the statusTextMap lookup, giving users a live progress view rather than a blocking spinner. This async pipeline was added in v2.0.0 and is one of the top-requested improvements called out in community discussions about reliability during large uploads (compare to issue #205 "Embedding fails - Not able to add documents" in the community context).

Document Exploration

DocumentView delegates to ContentView for the full text and to ChunkView for paginated chunk inspection. ChunkView pages 10 chunks at a time and exposes prev/next navigation, while ContentView decorates each ContentSnippet with a "High Relevancy" badge when its retrieval score exceeds 0 (see frontend/app/components/Document/ContentView.tsx). Code blocks are syntax-highlighted via react-syntax-highlighter, switching between oneDark and oneLight based on the active theme. This gives users a transparent view of exactly which chunks fed a given answer, which aligns with the project's emphasis on explainable RAG (the "Document Viewer" is described in the user-facing tips exported from frontend/app/util.ts).

Configuration, Settings, and Deployment

SettingsView exposes credentials, theme, and suggestion-management screens. SuggestionView is paginated and lets admins curate the autocomplete suggestions that surface in the chat input (see frontend/app/components/Settings/SuggestionView.tsx). Onboarding is handled by the GettingStarted modal, which links to the GitHub repo, the YouTube walkthrough, and the launch blog post (see frontend/app/components/Login/GettingStarted.tsx); v2.1.3 added the behavior that this modal hides itself after the user has seen it once.

Deployment modes are encoded as a production prop on NavbarComponent and page.tsx. The Demo build suppresses Import Data and Settings buttons so visitors can only chat against a curated corpus. The other supported modes — local, Weaviate Cloud, Docker, and the new "Custom" deployment added in v2.1.0 — all share the same UI but resolve the API host differently through detectHost(). Environment variables such as OLLAMA_URL, OPENAI_BASE_URL, and the new OLLAMA_MODEL / OLLAMA_EMBED_MODEL (added in v2.1.3) are read by the backend and reflected back through the REST endpoints, so the App itself remains provider-agnostic.

Common Failure Modes

A handful of issues surface repeatedly in the community context and map to specific App behaviors:

• Embedding 500 errors on import (issue #205): the App surfaces the backend error through statusTextMap.ERROR, but the root cause is usually a misconfigured Weaviate vectorizer or missing API key in .env. Verifying credentials in SettingsView and checking the live status log is the fastest path to diagnosis.
• Local LLM support (issues #81, #102): users pointing Verba at a local Ollama instance need to set OLLAMA_URL to http://host.docker.internal:11434 (macOS/Windows) or the host gateway IP on Linux, as documented in the README FAQ.
• No public API (issue #254): the App's API surface is currently the same REST + WebSocket endpoints used internally; there is no SDK. An MCP server (requested in issue #381) would wrap these endpoints for external agents.
• Windows + Weaviate Embedded (Known Issues in the README): the App itself is platform-agnostic, but the bundled embedded Weaviate backend does not run on Windows, so the Docker or WCS deployment must be used.

Server

Overview

The goldenverba/server package is the runtime backbone of Verba, "The Golden RAGtriever." It exposes a Python-based backend that bundles a FastAPI HTTP/WebSocket server, a command-line interface (CLI) for launching the application, and the production static frontend assets generated from the Next.js build. Together these components turn Verba's RAG pipeline into a deployable, browser-accessible service. Source: goldenverba/server/__init__.py.

The server is responsible for:

• Hosting the REST and WebSocket endpoints consumed by the React/Next.js frontend (README.md).
• Streaming token-by-token chat generation to the browser.
• Streaming asynchronous ingestion logs to the import UI.
• Serving the compiled static frontend (goldenverba/server/frontend/out/...) when running in production mode.
• Providing a CLI entry point (verba start) so users can boot the stack from a single command.

Community interest in programmatic access (for example, issue #254 *"can i use verba via api?"* and the open enhancement request for an MCP server in #381) makes this layer a focal point for future extension. Source: Issue #254, Issue #381.

    Manager --> Providers[LLM & Embedding Providers]
    CLI[cli.py: verba start] --> FastAPI
    FastAPI -- "Static Files" --> Browser

The FastAPI app defined in api.py is the single surface area exposed to clients. It delegates RAG orchestration to a manager instance, which in turn calls the configured reader, chunker, embedder, retriever, and generator components. Source: goldenverba/server/api.py.

CLI Entry Point

goldenverba/server/cli.py provides the user-facing launcher. After pip install goldenverba, the user runs:

verba start

The CLI supports --port and --host flags so the server can be bound to a different network interface (e.g. when running inside Docker or a reverse proxy), an addition introduced in v2.1.0 to address the port-configuration request tracked in issue #308. Source: README.md, v2.1.0 release notes.

When launched, the CLI imports the FastAPI application, mounts the static frontend directory produced by the Next.js export, and starts the ASGI server on the requested host/port. The default is localhost:8000, where users then visit the Verba UI in their browser. Source: README.md.

API and WebSocket Endpoints

The FastAPI module wires up the two most important real-time channels used by the UI:

The frontend computes these URLs in frontend/app/util.ts, falling back to ws://localhost:8000/... during development and deriving wss://<host>/... from window.location when the app is served directly by FastAPI. Source: frontend/app/util.ts.

The ingestion pipeline stages surfaced to the client correspond to the statusMap / statusTextMap enums defined in frontend/app/types.ts, including STARTING, CHUNKING, LOADING, EMBEDDING, INGESTING, NER, EXTRACTION, SUMMARIZING, and terminal states DONE / ERROR. This shared contract lets the server push fine-grained progress updates through the WebSocket. Source: frontend/app/types.ts.

Per-file ingestion metadata (extension, file size, reader, chunker, embedder, labels) is configured in the UI and then dispatched to the server through this same pipeline. Source: frontend/app/components/Ingestion/BasicSettingView.tsx.

Frontend Hosting and Navigation

In production mode the server serves the exported Next.js bundle from goldenverba/server/frontend/out. The single-page app then routes between four top-level views — Chat, Import Data, Documents, and Settings — driven by the currentPage state in frontend/app/page.tsx. The navigation bar hides Import Data and Settings when the deployment is the public demo. Source: frontend/app/page.tsx, frontend/app/components/Navigation/NavbarComponent.tsx.

The Document view renders both the full document and the specific chunks used to answer a query, with a "High Relevancy" badge when chunk.score > 0. This data flows back from the retrieval endpoint of the server, demonstrating how the API surfaces not just answers but their supporting evidence. Source: frontend/app/components/Document/ContentView.tsx.

A first-run GettingStarted modal is rendered on the login screen and, since v2.1.3, is hidden automatically once the user dismisses it. This is one of the small but visible UX improvements coordinated between the server-served frontend and client state. Source: frontend/app/components/Login/GettingStarted.tsx, v2.1.3 release notes.

Configuration, Failure Modes, and Operational Notes

All API keys consumed by the server can be supplied either through the Verba UI or via a .env file in the launch directory. The server reads goldenverba/.env.example for the full template, and unused variables should be omitted to avoid misconfiguration. Source: README.md.

Common server-side failure modes reported by the community include:

• 500 errors during embedding — typically traced to a misconfigured Weaviate backend or incorrect credentials (issue #205).
• Weaviate Embedded on Windows — currently non-functional; the README recommends Docker or WCS deployments on Windows hosts. Source: README.md, Issue #205.
• Docker host networking — Ollama running outside the container must be addressed as http://host.docker.internal:11434 (or the host gateway IP on Linux) for the server to reach it. Source: README.md.

Since v2.0.0 the server migrated to the Weaviate v4 client and switched to async ingestion with real-time logging — the streaming WebSocket contract described above is the public face of that refactor. Source: v2.0.0 release notes.
