ceres-cli

The command-line interface for Ceres.

ceres-cli is the main operator interface for Ceres. It is built around harvesting first, with standalone embedding, search, export, and stats commands on top of the same local catalog.

What you can do

• Harvest: Sync datasets from configured or ad-hoc portals, including CKAN and current DCAT udata support.
• Embed: Generate vectors later with Ollama, Gemini, or OpenAI.
• Search: Run semantic search once datasets have embeddings.
• Export: Export data in JSON, JSONL, CSV, or Parquet format.
• Stats: View database statistics.

Operational model

• Metadata-first: ceres harvest --metadata-only keeps harvesting independent from embedding.
• Provider flexibility: ceres embed backfills vectors without re-harvesting.
• Batch workflows: portals.toml drives multi-portal harvest and export flows.
