Run Dakera

You need a running Dakera server to connect to. The fastest way:

docker run -d \
  --name dakera \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e DAKERA_ROOT_API_KEY=dk-mykey \
  ghcr.io/dakera-ai/dakera:latest

For persistent storage (recommended):

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dakera-AI/dakera-deploy/main/docker-compose.yml \
  -o docker-compose.yml
DAKERA_ROOT_API_KEY=dk-mykey docker compose up -d

curl http://localhost:3000/health  # → {"status":"ok"}

Install

cargo install dakera-cli

Or download a pre-built binary from the releases page.

Quick Start

# 1. Configure the CLI (server URL + API key)
dk init

# 2. Verify connectivity
dk health

# 3. Store your first memory
dk memory store my-agent "The user prefers concise responses" --importance 0.8

# 4. Recall by semantic query
dk memory recall my-agent "user preferences" --top-k 5

# 5. Full-text BM25 search
dk text search "user preferences"

Configuration

Environment variables

Variable	Description	Default
`DAKERA_URL`	Server base URL	`http://localhost:3000`
`DAKERA_API_KEY`	API key for authentication	—
`DAKERA_PROFILE`	Named profile to use	active profile in config

Config file

dk init creates ~/.dakera/config.toml:

[server]
url = "http://localhost:3000"
api_key = "dk-mykey"

[defaults]
namespace = "default"

Named profiles

dk config profile add staging --url http://staging:3000 --key dk-staging-key
dk config profile use staging
dk --profile staging namespace list

# Get a specific memory by ID
dk memory get my-agent mem-abc123

# Update a memory
dk memory update my-agent mem-abc123 --content "Updated content"

# Delete a single memory
dk memory forget my-agent mem-abc123

# Batch delete by filters (dry-run first!)
dk memory batch-forget my-agent --min-importance 0.3 --dry-run
dk memory batch-forget my-agent --min-importance 0.3 --max-age-days 90
