What is Weaviate?

Self-hosted Weaviate for AI search and RAG.

Weaviate lets your app find content by meaning instead of exact words: ask a question in plain language and get back the documents, products or tickets that actually answer it. The open-source vector database stores your objects next to their embeddings and blends vector and keyword ranking in one hybrid search query, the retrieval layer behind many RAG chatbots. Here it runs on your own KVM VPS, deployed in one click through Coolify.

Because the whole server belongs to you, your embeddings and source data stay on infrastructure you control, and you decide which modules, versions and settings Weaviate runs with. Root access lets you publish the API through your own domain with HTTPS, lock everything else down with firewall rules and run your app, n8n or Ollama on the same VPS. Coolify keeps containers, logs and restarts manageable in the browser.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Weaviate

Answers to the most important questions before you start.

Weaviate VPS hosting means running the open-source Weaviate vector database on your own KVM VPS instead of a managed cloud. You deploy it in one click via Coolify from One-Click Apps, keep full root access and store your embeddings and source data on a server you control.

  • Open-source vector database with hybrid search
  • One-click deploy via Coolify in One-Click Apps
  • Room for your own app on the same server

Order a VPS, open One-Click Apps in the panel and pick Weaviate from the Coolify catalog. Coolify pulls the image, attaches persistent storage and starts the service, so you don't need to write a Docker Compose file. You then connect your client with the connection details from your Coolify dashboard. Read the One-Click Apps guide

  • Choose a VPS package or configure your own
  • Install Weaviate from One-Click Apps
  • Connect your Python or TypeScript client

Weaviate keeps its vector index in memory, so RAM grows with the number of objects and the size of your embeddings. A smaller package works for testing and prototypes. For production with large collections, choose more RAM and NVMe space and set the exact amount in the configurator.

  • Object count and vector dimensions drive memory
  • Small package for tests, larger package for production
  • Leave headroom for imports and your own app

The open-source Weaviate core is free to self-host, so you only pay for the VPS. The price depends on the package (RAM, CPU, storage), term and location, with no billing per vector or dimension. Current prices load live in the pricing section of this page, and you can cancel anytime.

  • Fixed price per VPS package
  • No usage-based billing per vector
  • Cancel anytime

Yes. Every VPS comes with full root access via SSH, so you can tune Weaviate's environment variables, enable modules, install tools or run other containers alongside it. Coolify covers everyday tasks in the browser, and the shell is there whenever you need more control. Learn how to connect via SSH

  • Root access via SSH
  • Full control over Weaviate modules and settings
  • Coolify dashboard for containers and logs

Keep API key authentication enabled, publish Weaviate through your own domain with HTTPS in Coolify, and don't leave the REST and gRPC endpoints open to everyone. The VPS firewall in the panel lets you limit access to your app's IP addresses. Regular system updates via SSH round off the setup. Linux security tips in the Help Center

  • API key authentication and roles
  • Domain and HTTPS via Coolify
  • Firewall rules for trusted IPs only

Yes, in two ways. Weaviate's own Backup modules write collection Backups to the local filesystem or an S3-compatible bucket, and you can restore them via the API. On top of that, manual VPS Backups and restores are available in the panel with ZapX Pass. Learn more about Backups

  • Weaviate Backups per collection
  • Filesystem or S3-compatible storage
  • Manual VPS Backups and restore with ZapX Pass

VPS locations are available in Europe and America. Choose the one closest to your users or to the app that queries Weaviate, because every search request travels between them. Many North American projects start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, but you can pick whichever location fits your audience best.

  • Locations in Europe and America
  • Pick the location closest to your users
  • Keep your app and Weaviate close together

Why is my Weaviate import so slow?
Large batch imports are often limited by RAM and by the embedding calls during vectorization. Check memory usage in the panel and the Weaviate logs in Coolify first. Smaller batch sizes or a package with more RAM usually help, and I can walk you through both.
