Data Persistence

Two storage systems require persistence:

  1. SQLite Database: Todos and knowledge metadata
  2. ChromaDB: Vector embeddings for search

Docker volumes handle this automatically:

volumes:
  - backend-data:/app/data          # ChromaDB vectors
  - ./myaiassistant.db:/app/myaiassistant.db  # SQLite

Health Monitoring

Check application health:

# Backend health
curl http://localhost:8000/health

# Container status
docker-compose ps

# View logs
docker-compose logs -f
