Switch document engine

Switch your doc engine from Elasticsearch to Infinity.

RAGFlow uses Elasticsearch by default for storing full text and vectors. To switch to Infinity, follow these steps:

:::caution WARNING
Switching to Infinity on a Linux/arm64 machine is not yet officially supported.
:::

1. Stop all running containers:

   $ docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml down -v
   

:::caution WARNING
-v will delete the docker container volumes, and the existing data will be cleared.
:::

2. Set DOC_ENGINE in docker/.env to infinity.

3. Start the containers:

   $ docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
