Omnigraph

Omnigraph is a typed property graph database built on Lance. It combines schema-first graph modeling, typed queries and mutations, Git-style graph workflows, and storage that runs equally well on a local directory or an s3:// URI.

Quick Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ModernRelay/omnigraph-public/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

This installs omnigraph and omnigraph-server into ~/.local/bin. If no tagged release exists for your platform yet, the installer falls back to a source build.

One-Command Local RustFS Bootstrap

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ModernRelay/omnigraph-public/main/scripts/local-rustfs-bootstrap.sh | bash

That bootstrap:

• starts RustFS on 127.0.0.1:9000
• creates a bucket and S3-backed repo
• loads the checked-in context fixture
• launches omnigraph-server on 127.0.0.1:8080

Docker must be installed and running first.

Good Fit For

• Team knowledge graphs and internal context graphs
• Research, decisions, and evidence tracking
• Collaborative knowledge systems with reviewable changes
• Private self-hosted graph backends for local or on-prem AI tooling

Why Omnigraph

• Typed schema, typed queries, and typed mutations
• Git-style graph workflows: branches, commits, merges, and transactional runs
• Local-first and S3-native storage with snapshot-pinned reads
• Graph traversal plus text, fuzzy, BM25, vector, and RRF search in one runtime
• Policy as code for server-side access control

Quick Start

From a checkout of this repo:

cargo build --workspace

cargo run -p omnigraph-cli -- init \
  --schema crates/omnigraph/tests/fixtures/test.pg \
  ./repo.omni

cargo run -p omnigraph-cli -- load \
  --data crates/omnigraph/tests/fixtures/test.jsonl \
  ./repo.omni

cargo run -p omnigraph-cli -- read \
  ./repo.omni \
  --query crates/omnigraph/tests/fixtures/test.gq \
  --name friends_of \
  --params '{"name":"Alice"}'

init also scaffolds an omnigraph.yaml next to the repo if one does not already exist.

Run A Server

Serve the same repo over HTTP:

cargo run -p omnigraph-server -- ./repo.omni --bind 127.0.0.1:8080

Then query it remotely:

cargo run -p omnigraph-cli -- read \
  --target http://127.0.0.1:8080 \
  --query crates/omnigraph/tests/fixtures/test.gq \
  --name get_person \
  --params '{"name":"Alice"}'

Server routes include /healthz, /snapshot, /export, /read, /change, /ingest, /branches, /runs, and /commits.

To require auth, set OMNIGRAPH_SERVER_BEARER_TOKEN on the server and set the matching bearer token env var in your CLI target config.

Common Commands

Core repo flow:

omnigraph init --schema ./schema.pg ./repo.omni
omnigraph load --data ./data.jsonl --mode overwrite ./repo.omni
omnigraph snapshot ./repo.omni --branch main --json
omnigraph read ./repo.omni --query ./queries.gq --name get_person --params '{"name":"Alice"}'
omnigraph change ./repo.omni --query ./queries.gq --name insert_person --params '{"name":"Mina","age":28}'
omnigraph branch create --uri ./repo.omni --from main feature-x
omnigraph branch merge --uri ./repo.omni feature-x --into main

More CLI examples, config patterns, and admin commands live in docs/cli.md.

Production Features

• Branches, commits, merge-base-aware graph merges, and transactional runs
• Snapshot-pinned reads across local and S3-backed repos
• Traversal plus text, fuzzy, BM25, vector, and RRF search
• Axum server for reads, changes, export, branches, commits, and runs
• Cedar-based server-side authorization

Build And Test

cargo build --workspace
cargo check --workspace
cargo test --workspace

Notes:

• Rust stable toolchain, edition 2024
• CI runs cargo test --workspace --locked
• Full CI and some local test flows require protobuf-compiler
• S3 integration tests expect an S3-compatible endpoint such as RustFS

Workspace Crates

• crates/omnigraph-compiler: shared schema/query parser, typechecker, catalog, and IR lowering
• crates/omnigraph: storage/runtime, branching, merge, change detection, and query execution
• crates/omnigraph-cli: CLI for init/load/ingest/read/change/branch/snapshot/export/policy operations
• crates/omnigraph-server: Axum HTTP server for remote reads, changes, ingest, export, branches, commits, and runs
