Local Files

In meinGPT (UI)

For most teams, setup is done directly in meinGPT without editing local config files.

1. Open admin settings in meinGPT
2. Go to Data Pools / Data Sources
3. Click Add Source and choose this source type
4. Configure credentials and scope in the UI
5. Save and trigger the first sync

If you do not run your own DataVault runtime, this is usually all you need.

On-Prem Runtime Configuration (Advanced)

data_pools:
  - id: local
    type: local
    base_path: ./data

Configuration Options

Synchronization

• Vault scans base_path and syncs files into local ingest storage.
• Changes are picked up in later sync runs (new/updated/deleted files).
• Use read-only mounts when possible to reduce operational risk.

Docker Setup

services:
  vault:
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data/vault              # Local directory
      - /mnt/network:/data/network:ro   # Network drive (read-only)

Basic Operations

# Add files to sync
mkdir -p data
cp your-documents.pdf data/

# Check processing
docker compose logs vault | grep -i local
