Ever wanted to query your Obsidian notes using ChatGPT? Now you can! This Rust web service lets you do exactly that, by ingesting your Obsidian notes as embeddings into a Qdrant database and then using ChatGPT for prompting.

Usage assumes that your obsidian-git repo is in a private repo you own.

This service is primarily (currently) deployed through Shuttle. To deploy it, do the following:

• Run cargo shuttle init --from joshua-mo-143/ballista and follow the instructions
• Copy Secrets.toml.example to Secrets.toml and fill out the secrets. See the following below for an explanation:
  • OPENAI_KEY: An OpenAI API key for which you have funds on.
  • GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN - A GitHub Personal Access Token. You need at the very least repo:read permissions, since this is required to be able to download your obsidian-git repo if it's private.
  • GITHUB_USERNAME - Your username (or alternatively - someone else's username, if you're using their obsidian-git repo).
  • GITHUB_REPO - The repo you want to ingest. Note that only Markdown files are supported for now - Ballista will ignore anything else.
  • QDRANT_URL - The URL of your Qdrant database. Note that the port needs to be 6334 as qdrant_client utilises the gRPC URL. If you're just trying this out locally, you can leave it blank.
  • QDRANT_API_KEY - Your Qdrant API key. You can leave this blank if you're just running this locally.
• Run cargo shuttle deploy and watch the magic happen!
• Visit your deployment URL and try writing a prompt.

• Downloads your Markdown files from a GitHub repo and ingests it into ChatGPT embeddings, then stores it in Qdrant.
• Supports Github webhooks at /webhooks/github for self-updating with no input required on your side.
• Uses an internal queue for resilient updating. If your update fails, simply send the webhook again!

Yes, but I don't want to pay exorbitant amounts just to be able to query my extremely small knowledge base. If you're interested in using this, I don't think you do either.
