Chroma can also be configured to run in client/server mode. In this mode, the Chroma client connects to a Chroma server running in a separate process.
To start the Chroma server, run the following command:
chroma run --path /db_path
Then use the Chroma HttpClient to connect to the server:import chromadb
chroma_client = chromadb.HttpClient(host='localhost', port=8000)
client-server mode with just this change.Chroma also provides the async HTTP client. The behaviors and method signatures are identical to the synchronous client, but all methods that would block are now async. To use it, call AsyncHttpClient instead:import asyncio
import chromadb
async def main():
client = await chromadb.AsyncHttpClient()
collection = await client.create_collection(name="my_collection")
await collection.add(
documents=["hello world"],
ids=["id1"]
)
asyncio.run(main())
Then you can connect to it by instantiating a new ChromaClient:import { ChromaClient } from "chromadb";
const client = new ChromaClient();
host, port, and whether the client should connect over ssl:import { ChromaClient } from "chromadb";
const client = new ChromaClient({
host: "YOUR-HOST",
port: "YOUR-PORT",
ssl: true,
});
You can connect to it by instantiating a new ChromaHttpClient:let options = ChromaHttpClientOptions {
endpoint: "http://localhost:8000".parse()?,
..Default::default()
};
let client = ChromaHttpClient::new(options);
