Installation Guide¶

On-premises, also known as self-hosted, is a setup that allows Konfuzio Server to be implemented 100% on your own infrastructure or any cloud of your choice. In practice, it means that you know where your data is stored, how it’s handled and who gets hold of it.

A common way to operate a production-ready and scalabe Konfuzio installation is via Kubernetens. An alternative deployment option is the Single VM setup via Docker. We recommend to use the option which is more familiar to you. In general

On-Premise Konfuzio installations allow to create Superuser accounts which can access all Documents, Projects and AIs via a dedicated view as well as creating custom Roles

Konfuzio Server has beens successfully installed on various clouds.

Here you find a few examples:

Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Microsoft Azure
Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
IBM Cloud
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
Alibaba Cloud
VMware Cloud
DigitalOcean
Rackspace
Salesforce Cloud
OVH Cloud
Hetzner
Telekom Cloud

Billing and License¶

A Konfuzio Server self-hosted license can be purchased online. After your order has been placed, we will provide you with credentials to download the Konfuzio Docker Images and a BILLING_API_KEY which needs to be set as environment variable. The Konfuzio Container reports the usage once a day to our billing server (i.e. https://app.konfuzio.com). Konfuzio containers don’t send customer data, such as the image or text that’s being analyzed, to the billing server.

If you operate Konfuzio Server in an air-gapped environment, the Konfuzio Docker images are licensed to operate for one year (based on the release date) without being connected to the billing server.

Kubernetes¶

Required tools¶

Before deploying Konfuzio to your Kubernetes cluster, there are some tools you must have installed locally.

kubectl¶

kubectl is the tool that talks to the Kubernetes API. kubectl 1.15 or higher is required and it needs to be compatible with your cluster (+/-1 minor release from your cluster).

> Install kubectl locally by following the Kubernetes documentation.

The server version of kubectl cannot be obtained until we connect to a cluster. Proceed with setting up Helm.

Helm¶

Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes. Konfuzio is tested and supported with Helm v3.

Getting Helm¶

You can get Helm from the project’s releases page, or follow other options under the official documentation of installing Helm.

Connect to a local Minikube cluster¶

For test purposes you can use minikube as your local cluster. If kubectl cluster-info is not showing minikube as the current cluster, use kubectl config set-cluster minikube to set the active cluster. For clusters in production please visit the Kubernetes Documentation.

Initializing Helm¶

If Helm v3 is being used, there no longer is an init sub command and the command is ready to be used once it is installed. Otherwise please upgrade Helm.

Next steps¶

Once kubectl and Helm are configured, you can continue to configuring your Kubernetes cluster.

Deployment¶

Before running helm install, you need to make some decisions about how you will run Konfuzio. Options can be specified using Helm’s --set option.name=value or --values=my_values.yaml command line option. A complete list of command line options can be found here. This guide will cover required values and common options.

Create a values.yaml file for your Konfuzio configuration. See Helm docs for information on how your values file will override the defaults. Useful default values can be found in the values.yaml in the chart repository.

Selecting configuration options¶

In each section collect the options that will be combined to use with helm install.

Secrets¶

There are some secrets that need to be created (e.g. SSH keys). By default they will be generated automatically.

Networking and DNS¶

By default, Konfuzio relies on Kubernetes Service objects of type: LoadBalancer to expose Konfuzio services using name-based virtual servers configured with Ingress objects. You’ll need to specify a domain which will contain records to resolve the domain to the appropriate IP.

--set ingress.enabled=True
--set ingress.HOST_NAME=konfuzio.example.com

Persistence¶

By default the setup will create Volume Claims with the expectation that a dynamic provisioner will create the underlying Persistent Volumes. If you would like to customize the storageClass or manually create and assign volumes,please review the storage documentation.

Important : After initial installation, making changes to your storage settings requires manually editing Kubernetes objects, so it’s best to plan ahead before installing your production instance of Konfuzio to avoid extra storage migration work.

TLS certificates¶

You should be running Konfuzio using https which requires TLS certificates. To get automated certificates using letesencrypt you need to install cert-manager in your cluster. If you have your own wildcard certificate, you already have cert-manager installed, or you have some other way of obtaining TLS certificates. For the default configuration, you must specify an email address to register your TLS certificates.

Include these options in your Helm install command:

--set letsencrypt.enabled=True
--set letsencrypt.email=me@example.com

PostgreSQL¶

By default this Konfuzio provides an in-cluster PostgreSQL database, for trial purposes only.

Note

Unless you are an expert in managing a PostgreSQL database within a cluster, we do not recommended this configuration for use in production.**

A single, non-resilient Deployment is used

You can read more about setting up your production-readydatabase in the PostgreSQL documentation. As soon you have an external PostgreSQL database ready, Konfuzio can be configured to use it as shown below.

Include these options in your Helm install command:

--set postgresql.install=false
--set global.psql.host=production.postgress.hostname.local
--set global.psql.password.secret=kubernetes_secret_name
--set global.psql.password.key=key_that_contains_postgres_password

Redis¶

All the Redis configuration settings are configured automatically.

Persistent Volume¶

Konfuzio relies on object storage for highly-available persistent data in Kubernetes. By default, Konfuzio uses a persistent volume within the cluster.

CPU, GPU and RAM Resource Requirements¶

The resource requests, and number of replicas for the Konfuzio components in this setup are set by default to be adequate for a small production deployment. This is intended to fit in a cluster with at least 8 vCPU with AVX2 support enabled, 32 GB of RAM and one Nvidia GPU with minimum 4GB which supports at least CUDA10.1 and CUDNN 7.0. If you are trying to deploy a non-production instance, you can reduce the defaults in order to fit into a smaller cluster. Konfuzio can work without a GPU. The GPU is used to train and run Categorization AIs. We observe a 5x faster training and a 2x faster execution on GPU compared to CPU.

Storage Requirements¶

This section outlines the initial storage requirements for the on-premises installation. It is important to take these requirements into consideration when setting up your server, as the amount of storage needed may depend on the number of documents being processed.

For testing purposes, a minimum of 10 GB is required per server (not per instance of a worker).
For serious use, a minimum of 100 GB should be directly available to the application. This amount should also cover the following:
- Postgres, which typically uses 10% of this size.
- Docker image storage, up to 25 GB should be reserved for upgrades.
Each page thumbnail adds 1-2 KB to the file size.
After uploading, the total file size of a page image and its thumbnails increases by approximately a factor of 3 (10 MB becomes approximately 30 MB on the server).
To reduce storage usage, it is recommended to disable sandwich file generation by setting ALWAYS_GENERATE_SANDWICH_PDF=False.

Deploy using Helm¶

Once you have all of your configuration options collected, we can get any dependencies and run Helm. In this example, we’ve named our Helm release konfuzio.

helm repo add konfuzio-repo https://git.konfuzio.com/api/v4/projects/106/packages/helm/stable
helm repo update
helm upgrade --install konfuzio konfuzio-repo/konfuzio-chart --values my_values.yaml

Please create a my_values.yaml file for your Konfuzio configuration. Useful default values can be found in the values.yaml in the chart repository. See Helm docs for information on how your values file will override the defaults. Alternativ you can specify you configuration using --set option.name=value.

Monitoring the Deployment¶

The status of the deployment can be checked by running helm status konfuzio which can also be done while the deployment is taking place if you run the command in another terminal.

Autoscaling¶

The Konfuzio Server deployments can be scaled dynamically using a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler and a Cluster Autoscaler. The autoscaling configuration for the Konfuzio Server installation of https://app.konfuzio.com can be found in this Helm Chart.

Quick Start via Kubernetes and Helm¶

The following commands allow you to get a Konfuzio Server installation running with minimal configuration effort and relying on the default values of the Chart. This uses Postgres, Redis and S3 via MinIO as in-cluster deployments. This setup is not suited for production and may use insecure defaults.

helm repo add konfuzio-repo https://git.konfuzio.com/api/v4/projects/106/packages/helm/stable
helm repo update
helm install my-konfuzio konfuzio-repo/konfuzio-chart
  --set envs.HOST_NAME="host-name-for-you-installation.com"
  --set image.tag="released-******"
  --set image.imageCredentials.username=******  \
  --set image.imageCredentials.password=******

Upgrade¶

Before upgrading your Konfuzio installation, you need to check the changelog corresponding to the specific release you want to upgrade to and look for any that might pertain to the new version.

We also recommend that you take a backup first.

Upgrade Konfuzio following our standard procedure,with the following additions of:

Check the change log for the specific version you would like to upgrade to
Ensure that you have created a PostgreSQL backup in the previous step. Without a backup, Konfuzio data might be lost if the upgrade fails. 3a. If you use a values.yaml, update image.tag=”released-**” to the desired Konfuzio Server version.
```
helm install --upgrade my-konfuzio konfuzio-repo/konfuzio-chart -f values.yaml
```

3b. If you use “–set”, you can directly set the desired Konfuzio Server version.

helm install --upgrade my-konfuzio konfuzio-repo/konfuzio-chart --reuse-values --set image.tag="released-******"

We will perform the migrations for the Database for PostgreSQL automatically.

Docker - Single VM setup¶

Konfuzio can be configured to run on a single virtual machine, without relying on Kubernetes. In this scenario, all necessary containers are started manually or with a container orchestration tool of your choice.

VM Requirements¶

We recommend a virtual machine with a minimum of 8 vCPU (incl. AVX2 support) and 32 GB of RAM and an installed Docker runtime. A Nvidia GPU is recommended but not required. In this setup Konfuzio is running in the context of the Docker executor, therefore there are no strict requirements for the VMs operating systems. However, we recommend a Linux VM with Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS,or Redhat Linux.

Login to the Konfuzio Docker Image Registry¶

We will provide you with the credentials to login into our Docker Image Registry, which allows you to access and download our Docker Images. This action requires an internet connection.

The internet connection can be turned off once the download is complete. In case there is no internet connection available during setup, the container must be transferred with an alternative method as a file to the virtual machine.

Registry URL: {PROVIDED_BY_KONFUZIO}
Username: {PROVIDED_BY_KONFUZIO}
Password: {PROVIDED_BY_KONFUZIO}

docker login REGISTRY_URL

The Tag “latest” should be replaced with an actual version. A list of available tags can be found here: https://dev.konfuzio.com/web/changelog_app.html.

Quick Start via Docker-Compose¶

The fastest method for deploying Konfuzio Server using Docker is through Docker-Compose. To get started, follow these steps:

Install Docker-Compose in a version that is compatible with Compose file format 3.9.
Run docker compose version to verify that Docker-Compose is available.
Download the docker-compose.yml file.
Fill in the mandatory variables in the first section of the docker-compose file.
Launch Konfuzio Server by running docker compose up -d.

If you prefer to use Docker exclusively, we provide detailed instructions for setting up the containers in each necessary step (Step 1-9).

1. Download Docker Image¶

After you have connected to the Registry, the Konfuzio docker image can be downloaded via “docker pull”.

docker pull REGISTRY_URL/konfuzio/text-annotation/master:latest

The Tag “latest” should be replaced with an actual version. A list of available tags can be found here: https://dev.konfuzio.com/web/changelog_app.html.

2. Setup PostgreSQL, Redis, BlobStorage/FileSystemStorage¶

The databases and credentials to access them are created in this step. Please choose your selected databases at this point. You need to be able to connect to your PostgreSQL via psql and to your Redis server via redis-cli before continuing the installation.

In case you use FileSystemStorage and Docker volume mounts, you need to make sure the volume can be accessed by the konfuzio docker user (uid=999). You might want to run chown 999:999 -R /konfuzio-vm/text-annotation/data on the host VM.

The PostgreSQL database connection can be verified via psql and a connection string in the following format. This connection string is later set as DATABASE_URL.

psql -H postgres://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/NAME

The Redis connection can be verified using redis-cli and a connection string. To use the connection string for BROKER_URL, RESULT_BACKEND and DEFENDER_REDIS_URL you need to append the database selector (e.g. redis://default:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/0)

redis-cli -u redis://default:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT

3. Setup the environment variable file¶

Copy the /code/.env.example file from the container and adapt it to your settings. The .env file can be saved anywhere on the host VM. In this example we use “/konfuzio-vm/text-annotation.env”.

4. Init the database, create first superuser via cli and prefill e-mail templates¶

In this example we store the files on the host VM and mount the directory “/konfuzio-vm/text-annotation/data” into the container. In the first step we create a container with a shell to then start the initialization scripts within the container. The container needs to be able to access IP addresses and hostnames used in the .env. This can be ensured using –add.host. In the example we make the host IP 10.0.0.1 available.

docker run -it --add-host=10.0.0.1 \
  --env-file /konfuzio-vm/text-annotation.env \
  --mount type=bind,source=/konfuzio-vm/text-annotation/data,target=/data \
  REGISTRY_URL/konfuzio/text-annotation/master:latest bash

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
python manage.py init_email_templates
python manage.py init_user_permissions

After completing these steps you can exit and remove the container.

Note

The username used during the createsuperuser dialog must have the format of a valid e-mail in order to be able to login later.

5. Start the container¶

In this example we start four containers. The first one to serve the Konfuzio web application.

docker run -p 80:8000 --name web -d --add-host=host:10.0.0.1 \
  --env-file /konfuzio-vm/text-annotation.env \
  --mount type=bind,source=/konfuzio-vm/text-annotation/data,target=/data \
  REGISTRY_URL/konfuzio/text-annotation/master:latest

The second and third are used to process tasks in the background without blocking the web application. Depending on our load scenario, you might to start a large number of worker containers.

docker run --name worker1 -d --add-host=host:10.0.0.1
  --env-file /konfuzio-vm/text-annotation.env
  --mount type=bind,source=/konfuzio-vm/text-annotation/data,target=/data
  REGISTRY_URL/konfuzio/text-annotation/master:latest
  celery -A app worker -l INFO --concurrency 1 -Q celery,priority_ocr,ocr,
  priority_extract,extract,processing,priority_local_ocr,local_ocr,\
  training,finalize,training_heavy,categorize

docker run --name worker2 -d --add-host=host:10.0.0.1 \
  --env-file /konfuzio-vm/text-annotation.env
  --mount type=bind,source=/konfuzio-vm/text-annotation/data,target=/data \
  REGISTRY_URL/konfuzio/text-annotation/master:latest \
  celery -A app worker -l INFO --concurrency 1 -Q celery,priority_ocr,ocr,\
  priority_extract,extract,processing,priority_local_ocr,local_ocr,\
  training,finalize,training_heavy,categorize

The fourth container is a Beats-Worker that takes care of sceduled tasks (e.g. auto-deleted documents).

docker run --name beats -d --add-host=host:10.0.0.1
  --env-file /konfuzio-vm/text-annotation.env
  --mount type=bind,source=/konfuzio-vm/text-annotation/data,target=/data
  REGISTRY_URL/konfuzio/text-annotation/master:latest
  celery -A app beat -l INFO -s /tmp/celerybeat-schedule

[Optional] 6. Use Flower to monitor tasks¶

Flower can be used a task monitoring tool. Flower will be only accessible for Konfuzio superusers and is part of the Konfuzio Server Docker Image.

docker run --name flower -d --add-host=host:10.0.0.1
  --env-file /konfuzio-vm/text-annotation.env
  --mount type=bind,source=/konfuzio-vm/text-annotation/data,target=/data \
  REGISTRY_URL/konfuzio/text-annotation/master:latest
  celery -A app flower --url_prefix=flower --address=0.0.0.0 --port=5555

The Konfuzio Server application functions as a reverse proxy and serves the Flower application. In order for Django to correctly access the Flower application, it requires knowledge of the Flower URL. Specifically, the FLOWER_URL should be set to http://host:5555/flower.

FLOWER_URL=http://host:5555/flower

graph LR subgraph Network a("User") end subgraph Local Network / Cluster Network a("User") --> e("Konfuzio Server") e("Konfuzio Server") -- FLOWER_URL --> f("Flower") end

Please ensure that the Flower container is not exposed externally, as it does not handle authentication and authorization itself.

[Optional] 7. Run Container for Email Integration¶

The ability to upload documents via email can be achieved by starting a dedicated container with the respective environment variables.

SCAN_EMAIL_HOST = imap.example.com
SCAN_EMAIL_HOST_USER = user@example.com
SCAN_EMAIL_RECIPIENT = automation@example.com
SCAN_EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

docker run --name flower -d --add-host=host:10.0.0.1
  --env-file /konfuzio-vm/text-annotation.env
  --mount type=bind,source=/konfuzio-vm/text-annotation/data,target=/data \
  REGISTRY_URL/konfuzio/text-annotation/master:latest
  python manage.py scan_email

[Optional] 8. Use Azure Read API (On-Premises or as Service)¶

The Konfuzio Server can work together with the [Azure Read API]. There are two options to use the Azure Read API in an on-premises setup.

Use the Azure Read API as a service from the public Azure cloud.
Install the Azure Read API container directly on your on-premises infrastructure via Docker.

The Azure Read API is in both cases connected to the Konfuzio Server via the following environment variables.

AZURE_OCR_KEY=123456789 # The Azure OCR API key
AZURE_OCR_BASE_URL=http://host:5000 # The URL of the READ API
AZURE_OCR_VERSION=v3.2 # The version of the READ API

For the first option, login into the Azure Portal and create a Computer Vision resource under the Cognitive Services section. After the resource is created the AZURE_OCR_KEY and AZURE_OCR_BASE_URL is displayed. Those need to be added as environment variable.

For the second option, please refer to the Azure Read API Container installation guide. Please open a support ticket to get an AZURE_OCR_KEY and AZURE_OCR_BASE_URL which is compatible with the container.

[Optional] 9. Install document segmentation container¶

Download the container with the credentials provided by Konfuzio.

Registry URL: {PROVIDED_BY_KONFUZIO}
Username: {PROVIDED_BY_KONFUZIO}
Password: {PROVIDED_BY_KONFUZIO}

docker login REGISTRY_URL
docker pull REGISTRY_URL/konfuzio/text-annotation/detectron2/master:released-2022-11-24_08-46-17
docker run --env-file /path_to_env_file.env REGISTRY_URL/konfuzio/text-annotation/detectron2/master:released-2022-11-24_08-46-17 bash -c "export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8; export LANG=C.UTF-8;./run_celery.sh

The segmentation container needs to be started with the following environment variables which you can enter into your .env file

GPU=True  # If GPU is present
C_FORCE_ROOT=True
BROKER_URL=  # Set this to an unused Redis database
RESULT_BACKEND=  # Set this to an unused Redis database

We recommend to run the segmentation container with 8GB of RAM. The segmentation container can be started and used with less RAM, however this may not work on large images. After the segmentation container is running you need to set the DETECTRON_URL to point to the segmentation container.

[Optional] 10. Install document summarization container¶

Download the container with the credentials provided by Konfuzio

Registry URL: {PROVIDED_BY_KONFUZIO}
Username: {PROVIDED_BY_KONFUZIO}
Password: {PROVIDED_BY_KONFUZIO}

docker login REGISTRY_URL
docker pull REGISTRY_URL/konfuzio/text-annotation/summarization/main:released-2022-11-29_21-55-57
docker run --env-file /path_to_env_file.env REGISTRY_URL/konfuzio/text-annotation/summarization/main:released-2022-11-29_21-55-57

The summarization container needs to be started with the following environment variables which you can enter into your .env file

GPU=True  # If GPU is present
TASK_ALWAYS_EAGER=False
C_FORCE_ROOT=True
BROKER_URL=  # Set this to an unused Redis database
RESULT_BACKEND=  # Set this to an unused Redis database

We recommend to run the segmentation container with 4GB of RAM. The segmentation container can be started and used with less RAM, however this may not work on large images. After the summarization container is running you need to set the SUMMARIZATION_URL to point to the segmentation container.

11a. Upgrade to newer Konfuzio Version¶

Konfuzio upgrades are performed by replacing the Docker Tag to the desired version After starting the new containers, database migrations need to be applied by python manage.py migrate and new email-templates need to be initialized python manage.py init_email_templates (see 4.). In case additional migration steps are needed, they will be mentioned in the release notes.

11b. Downgrade to older Konfuzio Version¶

Konfuzio downgrades are performed by creating a fresh Konfuzio installation in which existing Projects can be imported. The following steps need to be undertaken:

Export the Projects that you want to have available after downgrade using konfuzio_sdk. Please make sure you use a SDK version that is compatible with the Konfuzio Server version you want to migrate to.
Create a new Postgres Database and a new Folder/Bucket for file storage which will be used for the downgraded version
Install the desired Konfuzio Server version by starting with 1.)
Import the projects using “python manage.py project_import”

Load Scenario for Single VM with 32GB¶

Scenario 1: With self-hosted OCR¶

Number of Container	Container Type	RAM	Capacity
1	Web Container	4GB	…
3	Generic Celery Worker	4GB	1500 (3 x 500) Pages of Extraction, Categorization, or Splitting per hour
1	Self-Hosted OCR worker	8GB	1200 (1 y 1200) Pages) / hours (Not needed if external API Service is used)
N	remaining Containers	4GB	…

With this setup, around 1200 Pages per hour can be processed using OCR and Extraction, around 750 Pages per hour can be processed if OCR, Categorization and Extraction are active, around 850 Pages per hour can be processed if OCR, Splitting, Categorization and Extraction are active.

Scenario 2: Without self-hosted OCR¶

Number of Container	Container Type	RAM	Capacity
1	Web Container	4GB	…
5	Generic Celery Worker	4GB	2500 (3 x 500) Pages of Extraction, Categorization, or Splitting per hour
N	remaining Containers	4GB	…

With this setup, around 2500 Pages per hour can be processed using OCR and Extraction, around 1250 Pages per hour can be processed if OCR, Categorization and Extraction are active, around 850 Pages per hour can be processed if OCR, Splitting, Categorization and Extraction are active.

Note

In case you train large AI Models (>100 Training Pages) more than 4GB for Generic Celery Workers are needed. The Benchmark used an Extraction AI with “word” detection mode and 10 Labels in 1 Label Set. The capacity is shared between all Users using the Konfuzio Server setup.

The level of parallelity of task processing and therefore throughput can be increased by the number of running “Generic Celery Workers”.

The performance of any system that processes documents can be affected by various factors, including the number of simultaneous connections, the size of the documents being processed, and the available resources such as RAM and processing power.

The number of simultaneous connections can also impact performance. If multiple users are uploading and processing large documents simultaneously, it can put a strain on the system’s resources, leading to slower processing times.

Other factors that can affect performance include network latency, disk speed, and the complexity of the processing algorithms. It’s essential to consider all these factors when designing and deploying document processing systems to ensure optimal performance.

Docker-Compose vs. Kubernetes¶

When it comes to running the Konfuzio Server, the choice between Docker Compose and Kubernetes will depend on your specific requirements and use case.

Docker Compose can be a good choice if you are running Konfuzio Server on a single host in production or for testing and development purposes. With Docker Compose, you can define and customize the services required for the Konfuzio Server in a YAML file we provide, and then use a single command to start all the containers.

On the other hand, Kubernetes is more suitable for production environments where you need to run Konfuzio Server at scale, across multiple hosts, and with features such as auto-scaling and self-healing. Kubernetes has a steep learning curve, but it provides advanced features for managing and scaling containerized applications.

Regarding the use of Docker Compose in multiple VMs, while it’s possible to use Docker Compose in a distributed environment, managing multiple VMs can be more work than using a dedicated orchestration platform like Kubernetes. Kubernetes provides built-in support for managing distributed systems and is designed to handle the complexities of running containers at scale.

In either case, you can use the same Docker image for the Konfuzio Server, which will ensure consistency and portability across different environments. Overall, the choice between Docker Compose and Kubernetes will depend on your specific needs, level of expertise, and infrastructure requirements.

Custom AI model training via CI pipelines¶

Konfuzio is a platform that provides users with the ability to run custom AI workflows securely through its Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines. These pipelines enable users to run their code automatically and continuously, learning from human feedback on any errors or issues as soon as they occur.

In situations where the Kubernetes deployment option is not utilized, Konfuzio recommends using a dedicated virtual machine to run these pipelines. This ensures that the pipelines are isolated from other processes and are therefore less susceptible to interference or interruption.

To effectively run these CI pipelines, the selected CI application must support Docker and webhooks. Docker allows for the creation and management of containers, which are used to package and distribute the code to be tested. Webhooks, on the other hand, provide a way for the CI application to trigger the pipeline automatically.

Furthermore, the CI application needs to have network access to the Konfuzio installation. This is necessary to enable the CI application to interact with the Konfuzio platform, ensuring that the CI pipelines are able to access the necessary resources and dependencies.

Overall, Konfuzio’s use of CI pipelines provides a powerful tool for advanced users to run their AI workflows securely, with the added benefit of automated testing and continuous feedback.

SSO via OpenID Connect (OIDC)¶

Konfuzio utilizes OpenID Connect (OIDC) for identity verification, implementing this through Mozilla’s Django OIDC. OIDC is a well-established layer built atop the OAuth 2.0 protocol, enabling client applications to confirm the identity of end users. Numerous Identity Providers (IdP) exist that support the OIDC protocol, thus enabling the implementation of Single Sign-On (SSO) within your application. A commonly chosen provider is Keycloak. In the subsequent section, you will find a tutorial on how to use Keycloak with OIDC.

SSO Keycloak Integration¶

Keycloak allows single sign-on funtionality. By doing so no user management is done wihtin Konfuzio Server. If you already operate a keycloak server, you can reuse keycloak users.

Set up¶

To start and set up keycloak server:

Download keycloak server
Install and start keycloak server using instruction
Open keycloak dashboard in browser (locally it’s http://0.0.0.0:8080/).
Create admin user
Login to Administration Console
You can add new Realm or use default (Master)

Create new client from Clients navbar item

Fill client form correctly (Access Type and Valid Redirect URIs fields)

Move to Credentials tab and save Secret value
In Users navbar item create users

Environment Variables¶

To integrate konfuzio with keycloak you need to set the following environment variables for you Konfuzio Server installation:

KEYCLOAK_URL (http://127.0.0.1:8080/ - for localhost)
OIDC_RP_SIGN_ALGO (RS256 - by default)
OIDC_RP_CLIENT_ID (client name from 7th point of previous section)
OIDC_RP_CLIENT_SECRET (Secret value from 9th point of previous section)
SSO_ENABLED (set True to activate integration)

Click SSO on login page to log in to Konfuzio using keycloak .. image:: ./keycloak/sso-button.png

Important notes¶

The Keycloak admin user cannot login into Konfuzio Server.

SSO via other Identity Management software¶

In order to connect your Identity Management software with Konfuzio using Single Sign-On (SSO), you’ll need to follow these steps. Please note, this tutorial is meant for Identity Management software that supports OIDC (OpenID Connect), a widely adopted standard for user authentication that’s compatible with many software platforms. If you’re using Keycloak, please refer to the separate tutorial on connecting Konfuzio with Keycloak.

Step 1: Setting up your Identity Provider¶

This step varies depending on the Identity Management software you’re using. You should refer to your Identity Management software’s documentation for setting up OIDC (OpenID Connect). During the setup, you will create a new OIDC client for Konfuzio. You will typically need to provide a client name, redirect URI, and optionally a logo.

The redirect URI should be the URL of your Konfuzio instance followed by “/oidc/callback/”, for example https:///oidc/callback/.

At the end of this step, you should have the following information:

Client ID
Client Secret
OIDC Issuer URL

Step 2: Configuring mozilla-django-oidc¶

You’ll need to set the following environment variables:

OIDC_RP_CLIENT_ID: This should be the client ID from your Identity Management software.
OIDC_RP_CLIENT_SECRET: This should be the client secret from your Identity Management software.
OIDC_OP_AUTHORIZATION_ENDPOINT: This should be your OIDC issuer URL followed by “/authorize”.
OIDC_OP_TOKEN_ENDPOINT: This should be your OIDC issuer URL followed by “/token”.
OIDC_OP_USER_ENDPOINT: This should be your OIDC issuer URL followed by “/userinfo”.
OIDC_OP_JWKS_ENDPOINT: This should be your OIDC issuer URL followed by “/.well-known/jwks.json”.
OIDC_RP_SIGN_ALGO: This is the signing algorithm your Identity Management software uses. This is typically “RS256”.
OIDC_RP_SCOPES: These are the scopes to request. For basic authentication, this can just be “openid email”.

Step 3: Restarting Konfuzio¶

After you have set these environment variables, you should restart your Konfuzio server so that the new settings can take effect. How you do this depends on how you have deployed Konfuzio, but it might involve restarting a Docker container or a Django server.

Step 4: Testing¶

Now you can go to your Konfuzio instance and you should be redirected to your Identity Management software login screen.

Migrate AIs and Projects¶

Overview of Migration Methods¶

This table shows the two migration methods, “Project Export” and “AI File,” for moving various elements Projects and Konfuzio Server environments. The table includes a list of elements such as Annotations, Categories, Label Sets, Labels, and more, and indicates which method is applicable for each element. The “Project Export” method is used for exporting whole Projects, while the “AI File” method is used for exporting elements that are specifically relevant for just running the AI on a different Konfuzio Server environments.

	Project Export	AI File
Annotations	Yes	No
Categories	Yes	No
Categorization AI	No	Yes
All Documents	No	No
Test-/Training Documents	Yes	No
Extraction AI	No	Yes
Label Sets	Yes	No
Labels	Yes	No
Members	No	No

Migrate an Extraction or Categorization AI¶

Superusers can migrate Extraction and Categorization AIs via the webinterface. This is explained on https://help.konfuzio.com.

Migrate a Project¶

Export the Project data from the source Konfuzio server system.

pip install konfuzio_sdk
konfuzio_sdk init
konfuzio_sdk export_project <PROJECT_ID>

The export will be saved in a folder with the name data_. This folder needs to be transferred to the target system The first argument is the path to the export folder, the second is the project name of the imported project on the target system.

python manage.py project_import "/konfuzio-target-system/data_123/" "NewProjectName"

Alternatively, you can merge the Project export into an existing Project.

python manage.py project_import "/konfuzio-target-system/data_123/" --merge_project_id <EXISTING_PROJECT_ID>

Database and Storage¶

Overview¶

To run Konfuzio Server, three types of storages are required. First, a PostgreSQL database is needed to store structured application data. Secondly, a storage for Blob needs to be present. Thirdly, a Redis database that manages the background Task of Konfuzio Server is needed. You can choose your preferred deployment option for each storage type and connect Konfuzio via environment variables to the respective storages. We recommend planning your storage choices before starting with the actual Konfuzio installation.

Storage Name	Recommended Version	Supported Version	Deployment Options
Postgres	Latest Stable	PostgreSQL 12 and higher	Managed (Cloud) Service, VM Installation, Docker, In-Cluster*
Redis	Latest Stable	Redis 6 and higher	Managed (Cloud) Service, VM Installation, Docker, In-Cluster*
Blob Storage	Latest Stable	All with activ support	Filesystem, S3-compatible Service (e.g. Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage), In-Cluster* S3 via MinIO

*If you use Kubernetes Deployment you can choose the ‘in-Cluster’ option for Postgres, Redis and S3-Storage.

Usage of PostgreSQL¶

Konfuzio Server will create a total of 43 tables and use the following data types. This information refers to release 2022-10-28-07-23-39.

data_type	count
bigint	6
boolean	35
character varying	78
date	2
double precision	29
inet	2
integer	138
jsonb	28
smallint	2
text	21
timestamp with time zone	56
uuid	1

Profiling¶

Django-silk is an integration into Konfuzio Server which offers a detailed overview of time spend in the database or within the internal code. When trying to troubleshoot performance issues, wanting to understand where queries are made, or needing to cooperate with our support on technical problems, it may be useful to use the Django-silk profiling to analyze performance.

By default, the package is installed but turned off, you can enable the package by setting the following variable:

SILK_PROFILING: True

By default, only 15% of requests are being profiled, this can be changed to any number between 0 and 100:

SILKY_INTERCEPT_PERCENT: 15

To avoid the database from filling up, only the past 10k requests are being kept, this can be changed to any value:

SILKY_MAX_RECORDED_REQUESTS: 10000

After enabling Django silk, the dashboard will become available on http://localhost:8000/silk for users who are logged in as superuser. The database can also be cleared by navigating to http://localhost:8000/silk/cleardb/. Do keep in mind that this package does add some overhead querying to each request. So unless there are active problems, it may be best to keep it turned off or at a low SILKY_INTERCEPT_PERCENT percentage.
