there are a env variable with path config: SENTENCE_TRANSFORMERS_HOME
(default: /app/backend/data/cache/embedding/models )
you can download model & put there, for download: e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65419499/download-pre-trained-sentence-transformers-model-locally
(if you are used huggingface maybe, in lunux, u have some cached models on ~/-cache/huggingface )
