ragflow-runbook

Runtime operations runbook for RAGFlow: deploy, operate, troubleshoot, monitor.

Version: 0.1.4


Scope

This skill is ops-only. It focuses on keeping RAGFlow running and observable.

Included:

  • Deployment (git-clone first, download fallback)
  • Health checks (liveness/readiness)
  • Smoke checks (system endpoints only)
  • Alerting helper (via OpenClaw messaging)
  • Copy/paste scheduling templates (cron + launchd)

Not included:

  • Any application-layer design or content workflows

Requirements

  • Required: python3, docker, curl
  • Optional: git (recommended for deploy)

Quick Start

Deploy (preferred path: git clone).

By default, deploy.sh will NOT start containers unless you opt in:

# Prepare files (git clone path may still run; starting containers is disabled by default)
bash skills/ragflow-runbook/scripts/deploy.sh /opt/ragflow

# Explicitly allow starting containers
RAGFLOW_RUNBOOK_ALLOW_START=1 bash skills/ragflow-runbook/scripts/deploy.sh /opt/ragflow

# If git is not available and you want to allow runtime downloads
RAGFLOW_RUNBOOK_ALLOW_DOWNLOAD=1 RAGFLOW_RUNBOOK_ALLOW_START=1 bash skills/ragflow-runbook/scripts/deploy.sh /opt/ragflow

Set env vars (adjust host/port):

export RAGFLOW_BASE_URL="http://127.0.0.1:9380"
export RAGFLOW_API_KEY="ragflow-..."  # do not paste into chat / do not commit

Run checks:

python3 skills/ragflow-runbook/scripts/ragflow_ping.py
python3 skills/ragflow-runbook/scripts/ragflow_smoke.py
bash skills/ragflow-runbook/scripts/healthcheck.sh
