Huggingface.co

With Embedchain, you can directly host your apps in just three steps to huggingface spaces where you can view and deploy your app to the world.

We support two types of deployment to huggingface spaces:

Using streamlit.io

Step 1: Create a new RAG app

Create a new RAG app using the following command:

mkdir my-rag-app
ec create --template=hf/streamlit.io # inside my-rag-app directory

When you run this for the first time, you'll be asked to login to huggingface.co. Once you login, you'll need to create a write token. You can create a write token by going to huggingface.co settings. Once you create a token, you'll be asked to enter the token in the terminal.

This will also create an embedchain.json file in your app directory. Add a name key into the embedchain.json file. This will be the "repo-name" of your app in huggingface spaces.

{
    "name": "my-rag-app",
    "provider": "hf/streamlit.io"
}

Step-2: Test app locally

You can run the app locally by simply doing:

pip install -r requirements.txt
ec dev

Step-3: Deploy to huggingface spaces

ec deploy

This will deploy your app to huggingface spaces. You can view your app at https://huggingface.co/spaces/<your-username>/my-rag-app. This will get prompted in the terminal once the app is deployed.

Using gradio.app

Similar to streamlit.io, you can deploy your app to gradio.app in just three steps.

Step 1: Create a new RAG app

Create a new RAG app using the following command:

mkdir my-rag-app
ec create --template=hf/gradio.app # inside my-rag-app directory

When you run this for the first time, you'll be asked to login to huggingface.co. Once you login, you'll need to create a write token. You can create a write token by going to huggingface.co settings. Once you create a token, you'll be asked to enter the token in the terminal.

This will also create an embedchain.json file in your app directory. Add a name key into the embedchain.json file. This will be the "repo-name" of your app in huggingface spaces.

{
    "name": "my-rag-app",
    "provider": "hf/gradio.app"
}

Step-2: Test app locally

You can run the app locally by simply doing:

pip install -r requirements.txt
ec dev

Step-3: Deploy to huggingface spaces

ec deploy

This will deploy your app to huggingface spaces. You can view your app at https://huggingface.co/spaces/<your-username>/my-rag-app. This will get prompted in the terminal once the app is deployed.
