It looks like you need help configuring your environment variables for a Neo4j and Ollama-powered knowledge graph with a vector store. Here’s how you can set them up:
### 1. **Set Up `.env` File (Recommended)**
Create a `.env` file in the root directory of your project and paste the following:
```ini
# Neo4j Configuration
NEO4J_URI=bolt://localhost:7687
NEO4J_USER=neo4j
NEO4J_PASSWORD=your_password
# Ollama Configuration
OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434
OLLAMA_MODEL=llama2
OLLAMA_EMBEDDING_MODEL=nomic-embed-text
# Vector Store Configuration
VECTOR_STORE_PATH=./vector_store
EMBEDDING_DIM=768 # nomic-embed-text dimension
# API Configuration
API_HOST=0.0.0.0
API_PORT=8000
API_WORKERS=4
# Logging Configuration
LOG_LEVEL=INFO
LOG_FILE=knowledge_graph.log
# Extraction Configuration
BATCH_SIZE=10
MAX_TOKENS=2000
CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD=0.5
# Search Configuration
DEFAULT_VECTOR_WEIGHT=0.5
DEFAULT_MAX_RESULTS=10
```
Then, in your Python application, load these variables using `dotenv`:
```python
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os
load_dotenv() # Load variables from .env
NEO4J_URI = os.getenv("NEO4J_URI")
NEO4J_USER = os.getenv("NEO4J_USER")
NEO4J_PASSWORD = os.getenv("NEO4J_PASSWORD")
OLLAMA_BASE_URL = os.getenv("OLLAMA_BASE_URL")
OLLAMA_MODEL = os.getenv("OLLAMA_MODEL")
OLLAMA_EMBEDDING_MODEL = os.getenv("OLLAMA_EMBEDDING_MODEL")
VECTOR_STORE_PATH = os.getenv("VECTOR_STORE_PATH")
EMBEDDING_DIM = int(os.getenv("EMBEDDING_DIM", 768)) # Default to 768 if missing
API_HOST = os.getenv("API_HOST", "0.0.0.0")
API_PORT = int(os.getenv("API_PORT", 8000))
API_WORKERS = int(os.getenv("API_WORKERS", 4))
LOG_LEVEL = os.getenv("LOG_LEVEL", "INFO")
LOG_FILE = os.getenv("LOG_FILE", "knowledge_graph.log")
BATCH_SIZE = int(os.getenv("BATCH_SIZE", 10))
MAX_TOKENS = int(os.getenv("MAX_TOKENS", 2000))
CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD = float(os.getenv("CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD", 0.5))
DEFAULT_VECTOR_WEIGHT = float(os.getenv("DEFAULT_VECTOR_WEIGHT", 0.5))
DEFAULT_MAX_RESULTS = int(os.getenv("DEFAULT_MAX_RESULTS", 10))
```
### 2. **Export Environment Variables (Linux/macOS)**
If you don’t want to use a `.env` file, you can manually export them:
```bash
export NEO4J_URI="bolt://localhost:7687"
export NEO4J_USER="neo4j"
export NEO4J_PASSWORD="your_password"
export OLLAMA_BASE_URL="http://localhost:11434"
export OLLAMA_MODEL="llama2"
export OLLAMA_EMBEDDING_MODEL="nomic-embed-text"
export VECTOR_STORE_PATH="./vector_store"
export EMBEDDING_DIM=768
export API_HOST="0.0.0.0"
export API_PORT=8000
export API_WORKERS=4
export LOG_LEVEL="INFO"
export LOG_FILE="knowledge_graph.log"
export BATCH_SIZE=10
export MAX_TOKENS=2000
export CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD=0.5
export DEFAULT_VECTOR_WEIGHT=0.5
export DEFAULT_MAX_RESULTS=10
```
You can add these lines to your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc` to persist them.
### 3. **For Docker (`docker-compose.yml`)**
If you're running your app in a Docker container, you can pass the environment variables via `docker-compose.yml`:
```yaml
version: "3.8"
services:
app:
build: .
ports:
- "8000:8000"
environment:
NEO4J_URI: "bolt://neo4j:7687"
NEO4J_USER: "neo4j"
NEO4J_PASSWORD: "your_password"
OLLAMA_BASE_URL: "http://localhost:11434"
OLLAMA_MODEL: "llama2"
OLLAMA_EMBEDDING_MODEL: "nomic-embed-text"
VECTOR_STORE_PATH: "./vector_store"
EMBEDDING_DIM: "768"
API_HOST: "0.0.0.0"
API_PORT: "8000"
API_WORKERS: "4"
LOG_LEVEL: "INFO"
LOG_FILE: "knowledge_graph.log"
BATCH_SIZE: "10"
MAX_TOKENS: "2000"
CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD: "0.5"
DEFAULT_VECTOR_WEIGHT: "0.5"
DEFAULT_MAX_RESULTS: "10"
```

how do I get the neo4j information
To get your **Neo4j connection details**, follow these steps depending on how you have Neo4j installed:
---
## **1. If Neo4j is Running Locally (Default Installation)**
### **Check Connection URI**
- The default connection URI for a local Neo4j instance is:
```
bolt://localhost:7687
```
- **Bolt** is the protocol used to connect to Neo4j.
- `localhost` means it's running on your local machine.
- `7687` is the default Bolt port.
### **Check Username and Password**
- Default **username** is:
```
neo4j
```
- The first time you start Neo4j, you'll be prompted to set a **password**. If you forget it, you can reset it (see below).
### **Check if Neo4j is Running**
- Run the following command:
```sh
neo4j status
```
If Neo4j is running, you should see an output confirming it.
---
## **2. If Neo4j is Running in Docker**
If you installed Neo4j using Docker, find the running container:
### **Find Running Container**
```sh
docker ps | grep neo4j
```
### **Get Environment Variables**
If you want to see the connection details inside the running container:
```sh
docker inspect <container_id> | grep "7687"
```
### **Connect from Outside Docker**
If you started Neo4j with a `docker run` command like:
```sh
docker run \
--name neo4j \
-p 7474:7474 -p 7687:7687 \
-e NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/your_password \
neo4j
```
Your connection details will be:
- **URI**: `bolt://localhost:7687`
- **Username**: `neo4j`
- **Password**: `your_password` (replace with what you set)
---
## **3. If Neo4j is Running on a Remote Server**
If your Neo4j instance is running on a cloud VM or another machine:
### **Find Public IP**
- If it's running on a Linux server, check its IP:
```sh
hostname -I
```
- If it's a cloud service, check the public IP in your cloud provider’s dashboard.
### **Check the Connection URI**
Your **URI** will be:
```
bolt://<your_server_ip>:7687
```
For example:
```
bolt://192.168.1.100:7687
```
### **Check Username and Password**
- If using **Neo4j Aura (Cloud Service)**, you can find your credentials in the **Neo4j Aura Console**.
- If hosted manually, use the password set during installation.
---
## **4. Reset Neo4j Password (If Forgotten)**
If you forgot your Neo4j password, reset it using:
### **Reset Password (Local)**
1. Stop Neo4j:
```sh
neo4j stop
```
2. Open the configuration file:
```sh
sudo nano /var/lib/neo4j/data/dbms/auth
```
- Remove the existing password hash.
3. Restart Neo4j:
```sh
neo4j start
```
4. Set a new password in the Neo4j Browser (`http://localhost:7474`).
### **Reset Password (Docker)**
Run:
```sh
docker exec -it neo4j bin/cypher-shell -u neo4j -p old_password
```
Then reset it with:
```cypher
ALTER USER neo4j SET PASSWORD 'new_password';
```
---
## **Final Configuration**
Once you have your credentials, update your `.env` file:
```ini
NEO4J_URI=bolt://localhost:7687
NEO4J_USER=neo4j
NEO4J_PASSWORD=your_password
```
