Fuseki can be run in a number of ways:
See "Fuseki Configuration" for information on how to provide datasets and configure services.
This is running Fuseki from the command line.
fuseki-server [--mem | --loc=DIR] [[--update] /NAME] fuseki-server --config=CONFIG
where /NAME
is the dataset publishing name at this server in URI space.
The argument --tdb2
puts the command line handling into "TDB2 mode".
A dataset created with --loc
is a TDB2 dataset.
See fuseki-server --help
for details of more arguments.
FUSEKI_BASE
, the runtime area for the server instance, defaults to the
run/
directory of the current directory.
Fuseki v2 supports the same style of configuration file as Fuseki v1 but it
is better to separate the data service definitions from the server
configuration with one definition per file in FUSEKI_BASE/configuration
;
see "Fuseki Configuration".
If you get the error message Can't find jarfile to run
then you either
need to put a copy of fuseki-server.jar
in the current directory or set
the environment variable FUSEKI_HOME
to point to an unpacked Fuseki
distribution.
Unlike Fuseki v1, starting with no dataset and no configuration is possible. Datasets can be added from the admin UI to a running server.
Fuseki can run as an operating system service, started when the server
machine boots. The script fuseki
is a Linux init.d
with the common
secondary arguments of start
and stop
.
Process arguments are read from /etc/default/fuseki
including
FUSEKI_HOME
and FUSEKI_BASE
. FUSEKI_HOME
should be the directory
where the distribution was unpacked.
Fuseki can run from a WAR file. Fuseki requires at least support for the Servlet 3.0 API (e.g. Apache Tomcat 7 or Jetty 8) as well as Java8.
FUSEKI_HOME
is not applicable.
FUSEKI_BASE
defaults to /etc/fuseki
which must be a writeable
directory. It is initialised the first time Fuseki runs, including a
Apache Shiro security file but this is only
intended as a starting point. It restricts use of the admin UI to the
local machine.
Fuseki can be run from inside an Java application to provide SPARQL services to application data. The application can continue to access and update the datasets served by the server.
Basic example:
Dataset ds = ... FusekiServer server = FusekiServer.create() .add("/dataset", ds) .build() ; server.start() ;
See the full documentation for details of configuration and working with data shared with the Fuseki main server instance.
The artifact org.apache.jena:jena-fuseki-server
is a packaging of
the "main" server that runs from the command line. Unlike the full
Fuseki server, it is only configured from the command line and has no
persistent work area on-disk. It has full SPARQL and all storage options.
