How to deploy Weaviate on a single machine in a Red Hat Linux environment without internet access? Is it possible to deploy using offline downloaded installation packages?

“Could you please tell me if Weaviate has a Docker image that supports Red Hat Linux environment servers? I tried semitechnologies/weaviate:1.19.0, but it gave me an ‘exec format error’.”

hi @KclearV ! Welcome to our community! :hugs:

You can run Weaviate in any linux. For example using docker or the binary directly.

Bear in mind that 1.19.0 is a fairly old version. Using a newer one is advised.

With that said, you can deploy it in offline/air gapped environments, by copying the binary or the docker image to your server.

Of course, some modules that require internet access, like openai, cohere, etc will not work as they depend on Internet.

So whatever inference model you will use, it will need to run locally or you will provide the vectors on ingestion.

We have just released ollama support in 1.25, which could be a great option for you.

Let me know if this helps :slight_smile:

Thanks!
