ravendb/quill repository overview

⁠Quill by RavenDB

The shortest path from SQL to working AI agents.

Quill creates a live context layer on top of your existing SQL database. It builds a live AI layer on top of your database and keeps it constantly synced - so you can give agents your data without giving them your database. Nothing moves. Everything improves.

• Connect to your existing database - no migration required.
• AI does the setup - it drafts your CDC table mappings and your agent configuration from the data.
• Your AI sees what you decide it sees - governed exposure and access control.
• Agents on live data - continuously updated, never stale snapshots.

Quill ships as a single, self-contained image. You give it a license key and an operator key; it activates itself on first boot and comes up ready to use.

⁠Image tags

• latest - the latest stable Quill release.
• Pinned versions, e.g. 7.2.6-quill-72036.
• Nightly builds live at ravendb/quill-nightly.

Images are multi-arch: linux/amd64 and linux/arm64.

⁠What you need

• A QUILL_LICENSE_KEY and QUILL_API_KEY from the Quill sign-up flow at https://ravendb.net/quill/start⁠ - the license key drives first-boot activation, and the API key is your operator credential for the dashboard and the API.
• An LLM for agent replies: an OpenAI API key or a reachable Ollama endpoint.
• A source database reachable from the container (PostgreSQL, MySQL / MariaDB, or SQL Server).

⁠Running

docker run --sig-proxy=false --pull=always --name quill -p 443:443 \
  -e QUILL_LICENSE_KEY=<your-license-key> \
  -e QUILL_API_KEY=<your-operator-key> \
  -v quill-data:/var/lib/quill \
  ravendb/quill:latest

The container activates on first boot (about 30-60s). When it is ready, open your dashboard at https://dashboard.<your-domain>.myquill.ai and sign in with your QUILL_API_KEY. Your domain is the one you chose in the setup wizard at sign-up, which generated your license key and setup package. From there Quill walks you through connecting your database, building the app, and creating an agent you can embed.

⁠Ports and volume

• Publish port 443 - the only surface Quill exposes.
