FalkorDB
Use FalkorDB as both a graph and vector store (hybrid store) through a community-maintained adapter
FalkorDB is an open-source graph database optimized for GraphRAG. It supports both cloud-hosted and self-hosted deployments.
Cognee can use FalkorDB as both a [vector store](/setup-configuration/vector-stores) and a [graph store](/setup-configuration/graph-stores) backend through this [community-maintained](/setup-configuration/community-maintained/overview) [adapter](https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee-community/tree/main/packages/hybrid/falkordb).Installation
This adapter is a separate package from core Cognee. Before installing, complete the Cognee installation and ensure your environment is configured with LLM and embedding providers. After that, install the adapter package:
uv pip install cognee-community-hybrid-adapter-falkor
Configuration
Run a local FalkorDB instance:
docker run -p 6379:6379 -p 3000:3000 -it --rm falkordb/falkordb:edge
Configure in Python:
from cognee_community_hybrid_adapter_falkor import register
from cognee import config
config.set_vector_db_config(
{
"vector_db_provider": "falkor",
"vector_db_url": "localhost",
"vector_db_port": 6379,
}
)
config.set_graph_db_config(
{
"graph_database_provider": "falkor",
"graph_database_url": "localhost",
"graph_database_port": 6379,
}
)
Or via environment variables:
VECTOR_DB_PROVIDER="falkor"
VECTOR_DB_URL="http://localhost:6379"
VECTOR_DB_KEY=""
GRAPH_DATABASE_PROVIDER="falkor"
GRAPH_DATABASE_URL="localhost"
GRAPH_DATABASE_PORT="6379"
Important Notes
Import `register` from the adapter package before using FalkorDB with Cognee. This registers the adapter with Cognee's provider system. Ensure `EMBEDDING_DIMENSIONS` matches your embedding model. See [Embedding Providers](/setup-configuration/embedding-providers) for configuration.Changing dimensions requires recreating collections or running prune.prune_system().
