Running GraphDB

GraphDB can be operated as a desktop or a server application. The server application is recommended if you plan to migrate your setup to a production environment. Choose the one that best suits your needs, and follow the steps below:

Run GraphDB as a standalone server - For production use, we recommend installing the standalone server. The installation comes with a preconfigured web server. This is the standard way to use GraphDB if you plan to use the database for longer periods with preconfigured log files.

• Run GraphDB as a standalone server

Run GraphDB in a Docker container - If you are into Docker and containers, we provide ready-to-use images for Docker. See more at https://github.com/Ontotext-AD/graphdb-docker.

Run GraphDB with Helm charts - From version 9.8 onwards, GraphDB Enterprise Edition can be deployed with open-source Helm charts. See how to set up complex GraphDB deployments on Kubernetes at https://github.com/Ontotext-AD/graphdb-helm.

Note

The GraphDB Helm charts are an experimental feature under active development. More features will be added gradually and independently of GraphDB releases.
