Three measured HTTP-layer regressions on a live deployment, fixed together
because they all shape the bytes on the wire.
1. No compression. The server sent no Content-Encoding regardless of what
the client asked for, confirmed with curl straight at 127.0.0.1:8080 so
it was not an ingress artefact. Adds gzip middleware, on by default and
configurable via LOCALAI_DISABLE_HTTP_COMPRESSION and
LOCALAI_HTTP_COMPRESSION_MIN_LENGTH (default 1024 bytes so tiny bodies
are not wastefully wrapped). Streaming routes are skipped explicitly:
an SSE Accept header, a WebSocket upgrade, and the completion / SSE /
log-tail path prefixes, because whether a completion request streams is
decided by the request body, which the middleware runs too early to see.
Already-compressed formats (woff2, png, mp4, ...) are skipped too; gzip
made those marginally larger. Measured over the embedded React build:
JS+CSS 2815 KB raw to 808 KB gzipped (3.48x).
2. No cache headers on content-hashed assets. Vite hashes the filenames,
so a given /assets/ URL can never change content, yet they shipped with
no Cache-Control, ETag or Last-Modified, and the browser re-fetched the
whole bundle on every navigation with no conditional request available.
/assets/* now carries public, max-age=31536000, immutable. index.html
stays no-cache so a deploy is picked up, and the unhashed locale JSONs
get a short TTL rather than the immutable one.
3. Unbounded trace endpoints. /api/traces returned 21,033,606 bytes in
4.65s and /api/backend-traces 3,471,682 bytes in 1.50s, and the admin
UI polls both every few seconds. The ring buffer holds up to 1024
entries, each embedding full input_text payloads. Both list endpoints
now take limit / offset / full, default to 50 entries, and strip the
heavy fields (request and response bodies plus headers for API traces,
body and data for backend traces) unless full=true. Every trace gets a
process-lifetime ID and GET /api/traces/{id} and
/api/backend-traces/{id} serve the full record, which is what the UI
fetches when a row is expanded. The list body stays a JSON array;
paging metadata rides in X-Total-Count, X-Trace-Offset and
X-Trace-Limit. Reproducing the live shape in a test, the polled payload
goes from 21,131,097 bytes to 7,201 bytes.

If you want to do SCSS edits and want to publish these, you need to install PostCSS
npm install
Running the website locally
Building and running the site locally requires a recent extended version of Hugo.
You can find out more about how to install Hugo for your environment in our
Getting started guide.
Once you've made your working copy of the site repo, from the repo root folder, run:
hugo server
Running a container locally
You can run docsy-example inside a Docker
container, the container runs with a volume bound to the docsy-example
folder. This approach doesn't require you to install any dependencies other
than Docker Desktop on
Windows and Mac, and Docker Compose
on Linux.
-
Build the docker image
docker-compose build -
Run the built image
docker-compose upNOTE: You can run both commands at once with
docker-compose up --build. -
Verify that the service is working.
Open your web browser and type
http://localhost:1313in your navigation bar, This opens a local instance of the docsy-example homepage. You can now make changes to the docsy example and those changes will immediately show up in your browser after you save.
Cleanup
To stop Docker Compose, on your terminal window, press Ctrl + C.
To remove the produced images run:
docker-compose rm
For more information see the Docker Compose documentation.
Troubleshooting
As you run the website locally, you may run into the following error:
➜ hugo server
INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 Using config file:
Building sites … INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 syncing static files to /
Built in 288 ms
Error: Error building site: TOCSS: failed to transform "scss/main.scss" (text/x-scss): resource "scss/scss/main.scss_9fadf33d895a46083cdd64396b57ef68" not found in file cache
This error occurs if you have not installed the extended version of Hugo. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install Hugo.
Or you may encounter the following error:
➜ hugo server
Error: failed to download modules: binary with name "go" not found
This error occurs if you have not installed the go programming language on your system.
See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install go.
