Intro
ArangoDB is a multi-model data foundation supporting graph, document, key-value, vector, and search models.
See its Features and Capabilities at https://docs.arango.ai/arangodb/stable/features/.
Install ArangoDB
Install its Community Edition from https://arango.ai/downloads/.
Choose Ubuntu / Debian Distribution.
Install via Package Manager by copying the commands to Ubuntu's terminal screen.
Enter a password for "root" during installation.
After installation, normally, ArangoDB login page can be accessed from a browser on the server by entering the address "localhost:8529" or "http://kctang.com.hk:8529".
However, since our web site uses "https://", the address for local or remote browser should be "https://kctang.com.hk:8529".
ArangoDB stores its data here:
- Data directory: /var/lib/arangodb3 - where the actual collections, indexes, and graph data live.
- Log files: /var/log/arangodb3/arangod.log - which logs the startup messages, errors, or query issues.
- Configuration files: /etc/arangodb3/arangod.conf - which defines where the data directory is located, along with ports, authentication, and other server settings.
