Run after dry-run confirms the install plan.

Intro

NornicDB is a Neo4j-compatible graph+vector database for agent memory and GraphRAG; run it in Docker and manage it from a localhost admin UI.

Best for: GraphRAG builders who want graph traversal + vector retrieval in one engine

Works with: Docker, Neo4j drivers (Bolt/Cypher), REST/GraphQL/gRPC (per README)

Setup time: 5-15 minutes

Key facts (verified)

  • GitHub: 727 stars · 38 forks · pushed 2026-05-13.
  • License: MIT · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
  • README-verified entrypoint: docker run -d --name nornicdb -p 7474:7474 -p 7687:7687 -v nornicdb-data:/data timothyswt/nornicdb-arm64-metal-bge:latest.

Main

  • Use Docker for the quickest evaluation; the README lists separate images for Apple Silicon, CPU-only amd64, CUDA, and Vulkan environments.

  • Treat Neo4j compatibility as the migration path: start by connecting your existing Neo4j driver to bolt://localhost:7687 and keep queries in Cypher.

  • Use the admin UI at http://localhost:7474 to validate schema/indexes and iterate before wiring it into a production GraphRAG pipeline.

Source-backed notes

  • README Quick Start shows Docker commands mapping ports 7474 (admin UI) and 7687 (Bolt) and points to http://localhost:7474.
  • README states it is Neo4j-compatible (Bolt + Cypher) and also exposes REST/GraphQL/gRPC interfaces.
  • README notes different images/profiles (arm64/amd64, CPU/CUDA/Vulkan) and provides a from-source build path using Go.

FAQ

  • Is it compatible with Neo4j clients?: README says Bolt + Cypher compatibility is a core goal for drop-in usage.
  • Which port is the admin UI?: 7474 — README links to http://localhost:7474.
  • Do I need a GPU?: No — README includes CPU-only images; GPU paths are optional for acceleration.
