Want to replace Pinecone (Vector database for AI) with software you run and own? These 4 Nomad Packs give you a batteries-included, host-networked deployment on HashiCorp Nomad — one command to add the registry, one to run.

Chroma — an open-source embedding (vector) database for building AI apps with retrieval: store embeddings and metadata, then run fast similarity search for RAG and semantic search. Deployed as a host-networked Nomad service with a persistent, on-disk store.
Qdrant — an open-source vector database and similarity-search engine for embeddings, powering semantic search and RAG. Deployed as a host-networked Nomad service with a persistent volume; pairs with the ollama pack for a self-hosted AI stack.
Weaviate — an open-source vector database for semantic search and AI/RAG apps, with REST + GraphQL + gRPC APIs and pluggable vectorizer modules. Deployed as a single host-networked Nomad service with a persistent data volume. Pairs with the ollama and open-webui packs.
PostgreSQL + pgvector — a ready-to-use PostgreSQL server with the pgvector extension for storing embeddings and running vector similarity search right in your relational database. Ideal as the retrieval store for RAG and semantic search. Deployed as a host-networked Nomad service with a persistent data volume.
