Had the same issue which I fixed by running the ingestion first:

python ingest.py

This creates a db/index/ folder.

This seems related.

Same issue here

@pseudotensor is it also possible to set up h2ogpt the same as privateGPT i.e. do document QnA locally without having any data leave the local machine?

Yes.

Same issue here

When developing LangChain integration for h2oGPT, I ran across this and other issues mentioned in this repo. One reason is because the chroma db was named differently when created vs. read later.

Try out h2oGPT if you like: https://github.com/h2oai/h2ogpt – should be more stable w.r.t. these kind of issues.

Same error

same

same issue

already run ingest.py and same issue too 😀

already run ingest.py and created the collections and embedding files in db folder.still getting this issue

try python ingest.py first, this should ingest the state of the union text and create an index.
