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.

Weaviate — an open-source vector database for semantic search and AI/RAG apps, with REST + GraphQL + gRPC APIs and pluggable vectorizer modules.
Single host-networked Nomad service with a persistent data volume. Pairs with the ollama and open-webui packs for a local AI stack.

| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
port |
8087 |
REST + GraphQL API port. |
grpc_port |
50051 |
gRPC API port (v4 clients). |
anonymous_access |
true |
Allow unauthenticated access (ignored if api_key set). |
api_key |
"" |
Enable API-key auth with this key (disables anonymous). |

{ cpu = 1000, memory = 1024 } |
Task resources. |
The default vectorizer module is none — bring your own vectors, or enable a module plus its
inference service (e.g. embeddings from the ollama pack). Pin the job to the node holding the
volume with constraints.
