Oxigraph CLI is a graph database implementing the [SPARQL](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-overview/) standard.
It is packaged as a command line tool allowing to manipulate an RDF files, query them using SPARQL...
It also allows to spawn a HTTP server on top of the database.

Oxigraph is in heavy development and SPARQL query evaluation has not been optimized yet.

Oxigraph provides different installation methods for Oxigraph server:
* [`cargo install`](#installation) (multiplatform)
* [A Docker image](#using-a-docker-image)
* [A Homebrew formula](#homebrew)
* [A conda-forge package](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/oxigraph-server)
* [Pre-built binaries](https://github.com/oxigraph/oxigraph/releases/latest)

It is also usable as [a Rust library](https://crates.io/crates/oxigraph) and as [a Python library](https://pyoxigraph.readthedocs.io/).

Oxigraph implements the following specifications:
* [SPARQL 1.1 Query](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/), [SPARQL 1.1 Update](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-update/), and [SPARQL 1.1 Federated Query](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-federated-query/).
* [Turtle](https://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/), [TriG](https://www.w3.org/TR/trig/), [N-Triples](https://www.w3.org/TR/n-triples/), [N-Quads](https://www.w3.org/TR/n-quads/), and [RDF XML](https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/) RDF serialization formats for both data ingestion and retrieval using the [Rio library](https://github.com/oxigraph/rio).
* [SPARQL Query Results XML Format](https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-XMLres/), [SPARQL 1.1 Query Results JSON Format](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-results-json/) and [SPARQL 1.1 Query Results CSV and TSV Formats](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-results-csv-tsv/).
* [SPARQL 1.1 Protocol](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-protocol/#query-operation) and [SPARQL 1.1 Graph Store HTTP Protocol](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-http-rdf-update/).

A preliminary benchmark [is provided](../bench/README.md).

## Installation

You need to have [a recent stable version of Rust and Cargo installed](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install).

To download, build and install the latest released version run `cargo install oxigraph-cli`.
There is no need to clone the git repository.

To compile the command line tool from source, clone this git repository including its submodules (`git clone --recursive https://github.com/oxigraph/oxigraph.git`), and execute `cargo build --release` in the `cli` directory to compile the full binary after having downloaded its dependencies.
It will create a fat binary in `target/release/oxigraph`.

## Usage

Run `oxigraph serve --location my_data_storage_directory` to start the server where `my_data_storage_directory` is the directory where you want Oxigraph data to be stored. It listens by default on `localhost:7878`.

The server provides an HTML UI, based on [YASGUI](https://yasgui.triply.cc), with a form to execute SPARQL requests.

It provides the following REST actions:
* `/query` allows evaluating SPARQL queries against the server repository following the [SPARQL 1.1 Protocol](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-protocol/#query-operation).
  For example:
  ```bash
  curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/sparql-query' \
    --data 'SELECT * WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } LIMIT 10' http://localhost:7878/query
  ```
  This action supports content negotiation and could return [Turtle](https://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/), [N-Triples](https://www.w3.org/TR/n-triples/), [RDF XML](https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/), [SPARQL Query Results XML Format](https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-XMLres/) and [SPARQL Query Results JSON Format](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-results-json/).
* `/update` allows to execute SPARQL updates against the server repository following the [SPARQL 1.1 Protocol](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-protocol/#update-operation).
  For example:
  ```sh
  curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/sparql-update' \
    --data 'DELETE WHERE { <http://example.com/s> ?p ?o }' http://localhost:7878/update
  ```
* `/store` allows to retrieve and change the server content using the [SPARQL 1.1 Graph Store HTTP Protocol](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-http-rdf-update/).
  For example:
  ```sh
  curl -f -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/n-triples' \
    -T MY_FILE.nt "http://localhost:7878/store?graph=http://example.com/g"
  ```
  will add the N-Triples file `MY_FILE.nt` to the server dataset inside of the `http://example.com/g` named graph.
  [Turtle](https://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/), [N-Triples](https://www.w3.org/TR/n-triples/) and [RDF XML](https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/) are supported.
  It is also possible to `POST`, `PUT` and `GET` the complete RDF dataset on the server using RDF dataset formats ([TriG](https://www.w3.org/TR/trig/) and [N-Quads](https://www.w3.org/TR/n-quads/)) against the `/store` endpoint.
  For example:
  ```sh
  curl -f -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/n-quads' \
    -T MY_FILE.nq http://localhost:7878/store
  ```
  will add the N-Quads file `MY_FILE.nq` to the server dataset.

Use `oxigraph --help` to see the possible options when starting the server.

It is also possible to load RDF data offline using bulk loading:
`oxigraph load --location my_data_storage_directory --file my_file.nq`

## Using a Docker image

### Display the help menu
```sh
docker run --rm ghcr.io/oxigraph/oxigraph --help
```

### Run the Webserver
Expose the server on port `7878` of the host machine, and save data on the local `./data` folder
```sh
docker run --rm -v $PWD/data:/data -p 7878:7878 ghcr.io/oxigraph/oxigraph serve --location /data --bind 0.0.0.0:7878
```

You can then access it from your machine on port `7878`:

```sh
# Open the GUI in a browser
firefox http://localhost:7878

# Post some data
curl http://localhost:7878/store?default -H 'Content-Type: text/turtle' -T ./data.ttl

# Make a query
curl -X POST -H 'Accept: application/sparql-results+json' -H 'Content-Type: application/sparql-query' --data 'SELECT * WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } LIMIT 10' http://localhost:7878/query

# Make an UPDATE
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/sparql-update' --data 'DELETE WHERE { <http://example.com/s> ?p ?o }' http://localhost:7878/update
```

### Run the Web server with basic authentication

It can be useful to make Oxigraph SPARQL endpoint available publicly, with a layer of authentication on `/update` to be able to add data.

You can do so by using a nginx basic authentication in an additional docker container with `docker-compose`. First create a `nginx.conf` file:

```nginx
daemon off;
events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}
http {
    server {
        server_name localhost;
        listen 7878;
        rewrite ^/(.*) /$1 break;
        proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
        proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header  Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*";
        location ~ ^(/|/query)$ {
            proxy_pass http://oxigraph:7878;
            proxy_pass_request_headers on;
        }
        location ~ ^(/update|/store)$ {
            auth_basic "Oxigraph Administrator's Area";
            auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd; 
            proxy_pass http://oxigraph:7878;
            proxy_pass_request_headers on;
        }
    }
}
```

Then a `docker-compose.yml` in the same folder, you can change the default user and password in the `environment` section:

```yaml
version: "3"
services:
  oxigraph:
    image: ghcr.io/oxigraph/oxigraph:latest
    ## To build from local source code:
    # build:
    #   context: .
    #   dockerfile: server/Dockerfile
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data

  nginx-auth:
    image: nginx:1.21.4
    environment:
      - OXIGRAPH_USER=oxigraph
      - OXIGRAPH_PASSWORD=oxigraphy
    volumes:
      - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
      ## For multiple users: uncomment this line to mount a pre-generated .htpasswd 
      # - ./.htpasswd:/etc/nginx/.htpasswd
    ports:
      - "7878:7878"
    entrypoint: "bash -c 'echo -n $OXIGRAPH_USER: >> /etc/nginx/.htpasswd && echo $OXIGRAPH_PASSWORD | openssl passwd -stdin -apr1 >> /etc/nginx/.htpasswd && /docker-entrypoint.sh nginx'"
```

Once the `docker-compose.yaml` and `nginx.conf` are ready, start the Oxigraph server and nginx proxy for authentication on http://localhost:7878:

```sh
docker-compose up
```

Then it is possible to update the graph using basic authentication mechanisms. For example with `curl`: change `$OXIGRAPH_USER` and `$OXIGRAPH_PASSWORD`, or set them as environment variables, then run this command to insert a simple triple:

```sh
curl -X POST -u $OXIGRAPH_USER:$OXIGRAPH_PASSWORD -H 'Content-Type: application/sparql-update' --data 'INSERT DATA { <http://example.com/s> <http://example.com/p> <http://example.com/o> }' http://localhost:7878/update
```

In case you want to have multiple users, you can comment the `entrypoint:` line in the `docker-compose.yml` file, uncomment the `.htpasswd` volume, then generate each user in the `.htpasswd` file with this command:

```sh
htpasswd -Bbn $OXIGRAPH_USER $OXIGRAPH_PASSWORD >> .htpasswd
```

### Build the image

You could easily build your own Docker image by cloning this repository with its submodules, and going to the root folder:

```sh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/oxigraph/oxigraph.git
cd oxigraph
```

Then run this command to build the image locally:

````sh
docker build -t ghcr.io/oxigraph/oxigraph -f server/Dockerfile .
````

## Homebrew

Oxigraph maintains a [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) formula in [a custom tap](https://github.com/oxigraph/homebrew-oxigraph).

To install Oxigraph server using Homebrew do:
```sh
brew tap oxigraph/oxigraph
brew install oxigraph
```
It installs the `oxigraph` binary. [See the usage documentation to know how to use it](#usage).


## Systemd

It is possible to run Oxigraph in the background using systemd.

For that, you can use the following `oxigraph.service` file (it might be inserted into `/etc/systemd/system/` or `$HOME/.config/systemd/user`):
```ini
[Unit]
Description=Oxigraph database server
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=notify
ExecStart=/PATH/TO/oxigraph serve --location /PATH/TO/OXIGRAPH/DATA

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```

## Migration guide

### From 0.2 to 0.3
* The cli API has been completely rewritten. To start the server run `oxigraph serve --location MY_STORAGE` instead of `oxigraph --file MY_STORAGE`.
* Fast data bulk loading is not supported using `oxigraph load --location MY_STORAGE --file MY_FILE`. The file format is guessed from the extension (`.nt`, `.ttl`, `.nq`...).
* [RDF-star](https://w3c.github.io/rdf-star/cg-spec/2021-12-17.html) is now implemented.
* All operations are now transactional using the "repeatable read" isolation level:
  the store only exposes changes that have been "committed" (i.e. no partial writes)
  and the exposed state does not change for the complete duration of a read operation (e.g. a SPARQL query) or a read/write operation (e.g. a SPARQL update).
