### Docker 🐳

1. Clone the GitHub Repository

```bash
git@github.com:nilsherzig/LLocalSearch.git
cd LLocalSearch
```

2. Create and edit an `.env` file, if you need to change some of the default settings. This is typically only needed if you have Ollama running on a different device or if you want to build a more complex setup (for more than your personal use f.ex.). Please read [Ollama Setup Guide](./Ollama_Guide.md) if you struggle to get the Ollama connection running.

```bash
touch .env
code .env # open file with vscode
nvim .env # open file with neovim
```

3. Run the containers

```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
