[QUESTION] Method of Document Ingestion into PrivateGPT: Runtime Parallel Ingestion vs. Stop-and-Start Requirement

[ourworldisours]

Question

Can documents be ingested dynamically while the PrivateGPT application is actively running, or is it necessary to stop the application before initiating the ingestion process?

After running PrivateGPT, the document ingestion fails because the local Qdrant database is currently locked by another process.

RuntimeError: Storage folder local_data/private_gpt/qdrant is already accessed by another instance of Qdrant client. If you require concurrent access, use Qdrant server instead.
