What is ArangoDB?

ArangoDB is a scalable graph database system to drive value from connected data, faster. Native graphs, an integrated search engine, and JSON support, via a single query language.

ArangoDB runs everywhere: On-prem, in the cloud, and as a managed cloud service: ArangoGraph Insights Platform.

Key Features in ArangoDB

Native Graph Store both data and relationships, for faster queries even with multiple levels of joins and deeper insights that simply aren't possible with traditional relational and document database systems.

Document Store Every node in your graph is a JSON document: flexible, extensible, and easily imported from your existing document database.

ArangoSearch Natively integrated cross-platform indexing, text-search and ranking engine for information retrieval, optimized for speed and memory.

How to use this image

Start an ArangoDB instance

In order to start an ArangoDB instance, run:

docker run -d -p 8529:8529 -e ARANGO_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=1 --name arangodb-instance arangodb

Docker chooses the processor architecture for the image that matches your host CPU by default. If this is not the case, for example, because you have the DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM environment variable set to a different architecture, you can pass the --platform flag to the docker run command to specify the appropriate operating system and architecture for the container. For x86-64, use linux/amd64. On ARM, especially Apple silicon with no emulation for the required AVX instruction set extension, use linux/arm64/v8:

docker run -d -p 8529:8529 -e ARANGO_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=1 --name arangodb-instance --platform linux/arm64/v8 arangodb

This creates and launches the arangodb Docker instance as a background process. The Identifier of the process is printed. By default, ArangoDB listens on port 8529 for requests.

In order to get the IP ArangoDB listens on, run:

docker inspect --format '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' arangodb-instance

Initialize the server language

When using Docker, you need to specify the language you want to initialize the server to on the first run in one of the following ways:

• Set the environment variable LANG to a locale in the docker run command, e.g. -e LANG=sv for a Swedish locale.

• Use an arangod.conf configuration file that sets a language and mount it into the container. For example, create a configuration file on your host system in which you set icu-language = sv at the top (before any [section]) and then mount the file over the default configuration file like docker run -v /your-host-path/arangod.conf:/etc/arangodb3/arangod.conf ....

If you don't specify a language explicitly, the default is en_US up to ArangoDB v3.11 and en_US_POSIX from ArangoDB v3.12 onward.

Using the instance

To use the running instance from an application, link the container:

docker run -e ARANGO_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=1 --name my-app --link arangodb-instance:db-link arangodb

This uses the instance named arangodb-instance and links it into the application container. The application container contains environment variables, which can be used to access the database.

DB_LINK_PORT_8529_TCP=tcp://172.17.0.17:8529
DB_LINK_PORT_8529_TCP_ADDR=172.17.0.17
DB_LINK_PORT_8529_TCP_PORT=8529
DB_LINK_PORT_8529_TCP_PROTO=tcp
DB_LINK_NAME=/naughty_ardinghelli/db-link

Exposing the port to the outside world

If you want to expose the port to the outside world, run:

docker run -e ARANGO_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=1 -p 8529:8529 -d arangodb

ArangoDB listen on port 8529 for request and the image includes EXPOSE 8529. The -p 8529:8529 exposes this port on the host.…
