Weaviate is a vector search engine that is entirely built on machine learning. It allows you to extract meaning from your data and provide a highly personalized user experience. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install Weaviate on FreeBSD Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Docker is a containerization platform that allows you to run applications in isolated environments. Weaviate can be easily deployed using Docker, so the first step is to install Docker on your FreeBSD Latest server.
You can install Docker using the following command:
pkg install docker
After the installation completes, start the Docker service by running:
service docker start
You can verify that Docker is running using the following command:
docker run hello-world
This command should display a message confirming that Docker is running correctly.
Weaviate can be easily installed using Docker as it has a prebuilt Docker image. To pull the latest version of the Weaviate Docker image, run the following command:
docker pull semitechnologies/weaviate
This command will download the latest version of the Weaviate Docker image from the Dockerhub registry.
Before running Weaviate, you need to configure it through environment variables. You can create an environment variable file by running the following command:
nano .env
Add the following environment variables to the file. Replace the values with your own settings.
DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:password@dbhost/dbname?sslmode=require
WEAVIATE_HOST=yourdomain.com
WEAVIATE_PORT=80
Save and close the file. This configuration tells Weaviate to use a PostgreSQL database, your domain name, and port 80.
After configuring Weaviate, you can start the container using the following command:
docker run -d --name weaviate --env-file .env semitechnologies/weaviate
This will start the Weaviate container and use the environment variables from the .env file.
You can now access Weaviate at http://yourdomain.com.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Weaviate on FreeBSD Latest using Docker. Weaviate will allow you to extract meaning from your data, providing a highly personalized user experience.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
