Dakera
Self-hosted memory engine for AI agents
Long-term memory that survives sessions, in one Rust binary on your own servers.
Dakera gives AI agents a memory. Store what your agents learn, recall it by meaning and by keyword, and let it fade or strengthen with use: hybrid vector and full-text retrieval, cross-encoder reranking, entity extraction, sessions and importance decay, behind a REST, gRPC and MCP API. Everything runs on your own infrastructure, CPU-only if you like, with no external AI service.
docker run -p 3000:3000 -e DAKERA_ROOT_API_KEY=dk-mykey ghcr.io/dakera-ai/dakera:latest
Models
Dakera runs its models locally with ONNX Runtime. This organisation holds verified copies of every model Dakera downloads: byte-for-byte identical to the originals, credited to their authors under their own licences, and checked against the same SHA-256 whichever source a server downloads from.
