SeekDB#

SeekDB is a lightweight OceanBase-compatible database that can run as a standalone server (Homebrew / Docker / yum / apt / Windows MSI) or as an embedded Python module ( pyseekdb).

This is the entry point. Use the specialized skills below for specific tasks.

Skill Index#

SkillUse WheninstallInstall / deploy SeekDB on a target machine — Homebrew, Docker, yum, apt, Windows MSI, or pip embedded.buildBuild SeekDB binaries and packages from source — macOS, Linux, Android (cross), Windows, Python wheel.

When to Use Which Skill#

• "Install seekdb on my Mac / Linux / Windows" → install
• "I want to use seekdb from Python" → install, pip embedded mode
• "Build seekdb from source" / "make a release rpm/deb/tgz/apk/installer" → build
• "Deploy seekdb primary-standby with obd, do switchover/failover" → use the separate oceanbase-deploy/seekdb skill (lives under ../oceanbase-deploy/seekdb/SKILL.md). That skill is for obd-managed clusters; this skill is for the SeekDB product itself.
