## TerminusDB is a distributed database with a collaboration model.



It is designed to be like git, but for data. If you are reading this, **give this repo a star**.



The building blocks of the model are -



  - Revision Control: commits for every update

  - Diff: differences between commits can be interpreted as patches between states

  - Push/Pull/Clone: communicate diffs between nodes using push / pull / clone

  - Query: You can query any state of the database at any commit.



TerminusDB allows you to link JSON documents in a knowledge graph through a [document API](https://terminusdb.com/docs/document-insertion). TerminusDB is available as a standalone server, or you can use our headless content and knowledge management system [TerminusCMS](https://dashboard.terminusdb.com/).



### TerminusDB Version 11



[TerminusDB 11](https://github.com/terminusdb/terminusdb/releases/tag/v11.0.0) features a new Rustified storage backend that reduces storage overhead and latency, improves search performance, and simplifies interchange. TerminusDB 11 also comes with some exciting features to make building easier and faster -



- [GraphQL](https://terminusdb.com/docs/graphql-basics) - Use GraphQL as a proper graph query language with deep link discover and path queries

- Added `@unfoldable` document flag to frames - Making data curation easier by unfolding subdocuments within a frame to add all relevant data in one place

- Add `@metadata` to frames - Include additional metadata to document frames including data formatted as Markdown.

[![Get it from the Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/static/images/badges/en/snap-store-black.svg)](https://snapcraft.io/terminusdb)



The easiest way to install TerminusDB as a developer is by using the [Snap](https://snapcraft.io/terminusdb). It does not provide a daemon and is mainly intended for developers that want to try TerminusDB.



For deployments, or if you want to use the local dashboard:



1. Add the following to a .env file in the source directory:



```shell

OPENAI_KEY=YOUR_OPENAI_KEY_HERE

# And optionally specify number of pages for the vector database

# for instance

BUFFER_AMOUNT=120000

```



2. `docker compose up`



You should be able to view TerminusDB running by default at `localhost:6363`
