Fuseki Docker

Apache Jena Fuseki is a powerful SPARQL server. This repository provides a dockerized version of Fuseki, packaged as a vanilla Docker image. Vanilla means that the image contains just the Fuseki server without any customization.

Images are published to docker.io/aksw/fuseki-vanilla

Pull with:

docker pull aksw/fuseki-vanilla:6.1.0

Check out aksw/fuseki-docker-plus which extends this image with prebundled plugins and a simple CLI-based plugin manager!

Features

• Vanilla Apache Jena Fuseki
• Configurable JVM arguments
• Data persistence via volumes
• Runs as non-root user (optional)

Directory Structure

• /fuseki — Fuseki installation directory
• /fuseki/run — Data and configuration volume

Quick Start

Build the Image

docker build --no-cache -t aksw/fuseki-vanilla:6.1.0 .

Run with Docker Compose

Create a docker-compose.yaml file:

services:
  fuseki:
    image: aksw/fuseki-vanilla:6.1.0
    init: true
    environment:
      - JVM_ARGS=-Xmx4G -XX:ReplayDataFile=/fuseki/run/logs/fuseki_replay_pid%p.log -XX:ErrorFile=/fuseki/run/logs/fuseki_hs_err_pid%p.log -Dderby.stream.error.file=/fuseki/run/logs/fuseki_derby.log
    volumes:
      - ./run:/fuseki/run
    ports:
      - 3030:3030
      # - 5005:5005
    restart: unless-stopped
    user: "${APP_UID}:${APP_GID}"

Run with current user:

APP_UID=$(id -u) APP_GID=$(id -g) docker compose up -d

Configuration

• Fuseki UI: http://localhost:3030
• Port 3030: Main Fuseki HTTP endpoint
• Port 5005: JDWP debug port (disable if not needed)
• Config file: /fuseki/run/config.ttl (must be present or Fuseki will fail to start)

Overriding the Config File

By default, Fuseki uses /fuseki/run/config.ttl. You can specify a custom config file by setting the FUSEKI_CONFIG environment variable:

docker run --rm -it \
  -v ./custom-config:/fuseki/run \
  -e FUSEKI_CONFIG=/fuseki/run/custom-config.ttl \
  aksw/fuseki-vanilla:6.1.0

Or with Docker Compose:

services:
  fuseki:
    image: aksw/fuseki-vanilla:6.1.0
    environment:
      - FUSEKI_CONFIG=/fuseki/run/custom-config.ttl
    volumes:
      - ./custom-config:/fuseki/run

If you want to start fuseki without a --config argument, you need to set the entrypoint to /fuseki/fuseki-server. The default entrypoint.sh wrapper always adds a --config=/path/to/config argument.

docker run --rm -it --entrypoint /fuseki/fuseki-server aksw/fuseki-vanilla:6.1.0 [ARGS]

Persistence

Data is stored in the ./run directory (mapped to /fuseki/run inside the container). This includes:

• Datasets and databases
• Configuration files
• Log files
