Building RAG & Knowledge Bases with seekdb: Three Paths, One Stack

The real headache in RAG isn’t retrieval or generation - it’s the layer in between. Where does the data live? How do you keep it in sync? Who glues it all together? Your RAG stack - from storage to orchestration - can be self-hosted, auditable, and customizable, without locking you into closed services. This post walks through three paths, all built on one stack: RAG from scratch with seekdb, Dify + seekdb, and a knowledge base desktop app. Pick the one that fits and get it running. In the mesh of light, a patch that fits.
