aldryn-search & whoosh backend - how to update_index on Aldryn? #69

Closed macolo closed 8 years ago

macolo commented 8 years ago

I don't think there is a way to execute manage.py commands on the Aldryn life server... So manage.py update_index is out of question. (?)

Seems this is handled here on the fly: https://github.com/aldryn/aldryn-search/blob/master/aldryn_search/receivers.py

I tested this and adding new content to a page and then publish that page does not update the whoosh index for me (.manage.py update_index does, however).

The whoosh backend will not work on the Aldryn Platform, because whoosh saves the index on disk. All apps on aldryn run in docker containers that don't have a shared filesystem, so the index would disappear if a container is restarted. For search we have a closed beta with elasticsearch as a search backend. Currently you'll need celery (also a closed beta feature on aldryn) to run the index update periodically in the background. If you're interested in participating in the closed betas, we can talk on our support chat.
