GridDB™ is a highly scalable, in-memory NoSQL time-series database optimized for IoT and Big Data. The installation was previously limited to x86 systems, but it can now be used on ARM chips like Apple M-series through docker.

How to run GridDB on my MacBook?

This blog, available on their official website, explains how to run it using Docker. Below is a summary of the main steps:

1. Create a Docker Network

docker network create griddb-net

This command creates a Docker network named griddb-net. To communicate with GridDB using this network, ensure you reference the network name griddb-net.

You can check the created network with this command:

docker network ls

2. Pull the GridDB Docker Image

docker pull griddbnet/griddb:arm-5.5.0

This will pull the GridDB Docker image ARM version from the Docker hub griddbnet.

3. Run the GridDB Server

$ docker run --name griddb-server \
    --network griddb-net \
    -e GRIDDB_CLUSTER_NAME=myCluster \
    -e GRIDDB_PASSWORD=admin \
    -d -t griddbnet/griddb:arm-5.5.0
