  What is SurrealDB?

SurrealDB is an end-to-end cloud native database for web, mobile, serverless, jamstack, backend, and traditional applications. SurrealDB reduces the development time of modern applications by simplifying your database and API stack, removing the need for most server-side components, allowing you to build secure, performant apps quicker and cheaper. SurrealDB acts as both a database and a modern, realtime, collaborative API backend layer. SurrealDB can run as a single server or in a highly-available, highly-scalable distributed mode - with support for SQL querying from client devices, GraphQL, ACID transactions, WebSocket connections, structured and unstructured data, graph querying, full-text indexing, geospatial querying, and row-by-row permissions-based access.

  Run using Docker

Docker can be used to manage and run SurrealDB database instances without the need to install any command-line tools. The SurrealDB docker container contains the full command-line tools for importing and exporting data from a running server, or for running a server itself.

docker run --rm --pull always --name surrealdb -p 8000:8000 surrealdb/surrealdb:latest start

For just getting started with a development server running in memory, you can pass the container a basic initialization to set the user and password as root and enable logging.

docker run --rm --pull always --name surrealdb -p 8000:8000 surrealdb/surrealdb:latest start --log trace --user root --pass root memory

Access to the surrealdb CLI with:

docker exec -it <container_name> /surreal sql -c http://localhost:8000 -u root -p root --ns test --db test --pretty

  Run using Docker Compose

The Docker image can be used with the docker-compose tool. You can execute the following command to view the help of the start command to know the supported environment variables:

docker run --rm surrealdb/surrealdb:latest start --help

Here is an example of docker-compose.yml file.

version: '3'

services:
  surrealdb:
    env_file:
      - .env
    command: start 
    image: surrealdb/surrealdb:latest
    ports:
      - 8000:8000

Here is an example of .env file.
