The FalkorDB adapter is one of Cognee’s community adapters, which can be found on our community repo.
Make sure that ENABLE_BACKEND_ACCESS_CONTROL in your .env file is NOT set to False. Multi-user mode is enabled by default, therefore ENABLE_BACKEND_ACCESS_CONTROL=True by default.

​
Installation

Firstly, you will need to install the adapter package: 
pip install cognee-community-hybrid-adapter-falkor

​
Setup

You will need a running FalkorDB database instance, and the existing handler works with local setups. All you need to do is provide the necessary connection information, like the following example: 
VECTOR_DB_PROVIDER=falkordb
VECTOR_DB_URL=localhost
VECTOR_DB_PORT=6379

GRAPH_DATABASE_PROVIDER=falkor
GRAPH_DATABASE_URL=localhost
GRAPH_DATABASE_PORT=6379
Falkor is a hybrid vector/graph store, therefore we need to provide Cognee with information about both databases, even though it is the same Falkor database instance. You can run a local instance with the following command: 
docker run -p 6379:6379 -p 3000:3000 -it --rm falkordb/falkordb:edge

​
Usage

After setting up your instance and connection information, you will need to register the adapter and handler to Cognee, so it knows which database to use. Registering the adapter also registers the dataset database handler. In your code, add the following import statement: 
from cognee_community_hybrid_adapter_falkor import register
The final important piece of information is to let Cognee know which handler you are using. This can be done by setting the following .env variables: 
GRAPH_DATASET_DATABASE_HANDLER="falkor_graph_local"
VECTOR_DATASET_DATABASE_HANDLER="falkor_vector_local"
Since Falkor is a hybrid adapter, we have to set variables for both vector and graph databases.
