This is an experiment in building CLI experiences for ChromaDB developers.

Installation:

go install github.com/amikos-tech/chroma-cli

Add a server:

chroma server add my-chroma -H localhost -p 8000

Create a collection:

chroma create my-collection

List collections:

chroma ls

Delete a collection:

chroma rm my-collection

Clone a collection:

chroma cp my-collection my-collection-clone

Note: The source collection must have some records in it.

• ✅ Add Server (host, port) - chroma server add <server-alias> -h <host> -p <port> -o
• ✅ List Servers - chroma server ls
• ✅ Remove Server - chroma server rm <server-id>
• ✅ Switch Server, Tenant or Database - chroma use -s -t -d
• ✅ List Collections - chroma ls or chroma c/collection ls
• ✅ Create Collection - chroma create <collection-name> or chroma c/collection create <collection-name> -e -d
• ✅ Delete Collection - chroma remove <collection-name> or chroma c/collection rm <collection-name>
• ✅ Copy Collection - chroma copy <collection-name> <new-collection-name> or chroma c/collection cp <collection-name> <new-collection-name> or chroma c cp <collection-name> <new-collection-name> (remote to local or local to remote will be supported in the near future)
• 🚫 List Documents - chroma docs ls <collection-name> (using bubblegum interactive tables)
• ✅ App version (via -ldflags) - chroma --version
• 🚫 Run - run ChromaDB in various modes (Chroma cloud, local python, local docker, k8s, cloud service providers)
• 🚫 Stack - create manifests for deploying ChromaDB in various modes (local docker compose, k8s, terraform for cloud service providers) - this is an online service
• 🚫 Auth - login, logout, token refresh
• 🚫 App help
• ✅ Chroma version
• 🚫 Chroma docs
• 🚫 Chroma help

Interactive mode - a mode where you can interact with the server using GUI based interface.

Example config file:

active_db: default_database
active_server: test1
active_tenant: default_tenant
servers:
    local:
        host: localhost
        port: "8000"
    myserver:
        database: mydb
        host: 10.10.10.1
        port: 9011
        secure: false
        tenant: my_tenant
    test1:
        database: default_database
        host: localhost
        port: 8000
        secure: false
        tenant: default_tenant

make build # or go build/ go install
./chroma server add test1 -h localhost -p 8000 -o
