This document outlines the deployment process for a ChatQnA application utilizing the GenAIComps microservice pipeline on Intel Xeon server. The steps include Docker image creation, container deployment via Docker Compose, and service execution to integrate microservices such as embedding
, retriever
, rerank
, and llm
. We will publish the Docker images to Docker Hub soon, it will simplify the deployment process for this service.
To apply a Xeon server on AWS, start by creating an AWS account if you don't have one already. Then, head to the EC2 Console to begin the process. Within the EC2 service, select the Amazon EC2 M7i or M7i-flex instance type to leverage the power of 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors. These instances are optimized for high-performance computing and demanding workloads.
For detailed information about these instance types, you can refer to this link. Once you've chosen the appropriate instance type, proceed with configuring your instance settings, including network configurations, security groups, and storage options.
After launching your instance, you can connect to it using SSH (for Linux instances) or Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) (for Windows instances). From there, you'll have full access to your Xeon server, allowing you to install, configure, and manage your applications as needed.
Certain ports in the EC2 instance need to opened up in the security group, for the microservices to work with the curl commands
See one example below. Please open up these ports in the EC2 instance based on the IP addresses you want to allow

docker compose -f compose_vllm.yaml up -d
- TEI Embedding Service
curl ${host_ip}:6006/embed \
-X POST \
-d '{"inputs":"What is Deep Learning?"}' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
- Embedding Microservice
curl http://${host_ip}:6000/v1/embeddings\
-X POST \
-d '{"text":"hello"}' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
- Retriever Microservice
To consume the retriever microservice, you need to generate a mock embedding vector by Python script. The length of embedding vector
is determined by the embedding model.
Here we use the model EMBEDDING_MODEL_ID="BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5"
, which vector size is 768.
Check the vecotor dimension of your embedding model, set your_embedding
dimension equals to it.
export your_embedding=$(python3 -c "import random; embedding = [random.uniform(-1, 1) for _ in range(768)]; print(embedding)")
curl http://${host_ip}:7000/v1/retrieval \
-X POST \
-d "{\"text\":\"test\",\"embedding\":${your_embedding}}" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'

- Dataprep Microservice(Optional)
If you want to update the default knowledge base, you can use the following commands:
Update Knowledge Base via Local File nke-10k-2023.pdf Upload:
curl -X POST "http://${host_ip}:6007/v1/dataprep" \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
-F "files=@./nke-10k-2023.pdf"
This command updates a knowledge base by uploading a local file for processing. Update the file path according to your environment.
Add Knowledge Base via HTTP Links:
curl -X POST "http://${host_ip}:6007/v1/dataprep" \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
-F 'link_list=["https://opea.dev"]'
This command updates a knowledge base by submitting a list of HTTP links for processing.
Also, you are able to get the file list that you uploaded:
curl -X POST "http://${host_ip}:6007/v1/dataprep/get_file" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
To delete the file/link you uploaded:
# delete link
curl -X POST "http://${host_ip}:6007/v1/dataprep/delete_file" \
-d '{"file_path": "https://opea.dev"}' \

curl -X POST "http://${host_ip}:6007/v1/dataprep/delete_file" \
-d '{"file_path": "all"}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
To access the frontend, open the following URL in your browser: http://{host_ip}:5173. By default, the UI runs on port 5173 internally. If you prefer to use a different host port to access the frontend, you can modify the port mapping in the compose.yaml
file as shown below:
chaqna-gaudi-ui-server:
image: opea/chatqna-ui:latest
...
ports:
- "80:5173"
To access the Conversational UI (react based) frontend, modify the UI service in the compose.yaml
file. Replace chaqna-xeon-ui-server
service with the chatqna-xeon-conversation-ui-server
service as per the config below:
chaqna-xeon-conversation-ui-server:
image: opea/chatqna-conversation-ui:latest
container_name: chatqna-xeon-conversation-ui-server
environment:
- APP_BACKEND_SERVICE_ENDPOINT=${BACKEND_SERVICE_ENDPOINT}
- APP_DATA_PREP_SERVICE_URL=${DATAPREP_SERVICE_ENDPOINT}
ports:
- "5174:80"
depends_on:
- chaqna-xeon-backend-server
ipc: host
restart: always
Once the services are up, open the following URL in your browser: http://{host_ip}:5174. By default, the UI runs on port 80 internally. If you prefer to use a different host port to access the frontend, you can modify the port mapping in the compose.yaml
file as shown below:
chaqna-gaudi-conversation-ui-server:
image: opea/chatqna-conversation-ui:latest
...
ports:
- "80:80"
