web app / docker?

[shahram7]

Hi Saeed, Salam, Have you ever thought about creating a web application out of ayandict? in order to be able to deploy it and use it as a self-hosted application? I have found a project for MDICT files (django-mdict), but the user interface is completely in Chinese. Best Regards, Shahram

[ilius]

Hi. I actually made a web interface recently. No dockerfile yet, but it's easy (you can add it yourself). I will try to document the steps to run it soon.

[ilius]

I added Dockerfile.

Default port for web app is 8357.

But to enable the web app, you must edit config (~/.config/ayandict/config.toml) and set web_enable and web_expose to true:

https://github.com/ilius/ayandict/blob/main/doc/config.rst#web_enable

For docker, we may need to copy the config file or mount a volume for it.

[ilius]

I added docker-compose.yml. Check it out.

Hi Saeed, you rock! I've deployed ayandict right now

I've just changed the $HOME/.stardict/dic:/root/.stardict/dic:ro to where my stardict dictionaries are stored also: - /path/to/stardict:/root/.stardict/dicro

and now when I call the web app i see this page and I dont know how should I index my dictionaries.

best regards, Shahram

[ilius]

Great.

What do you by index them? If you want to see a list of dictionaries and enable, disable or change their order, these are not implemented in web. Only in Qt application.

But each dictionary has it's own index file, and they are loaded into RAM on startup.

[ilius]

If search result is empty, your directory must be wrong

- /path/to/stardict:/root/.stardict/dicro

Missed a : near the end?

[ilius]

Look at file docker-config.toml, you can edit it.

[shahram7]

Hi @ilius ,

- /path/to/stardict:/root/.stardict/dicro

Missed a : near the end?

No i have just mistyped it here. In docker compose file its correct.

Look at file docker-config.toml, you can edit it.

I have already done that too. Are Subfolders allowed?

[shahram7]

docker-config:

web_enable = true
web_expose = true
local_server_ports = ["8357"]

directory_list = ["/mnt/nvme/other/glossaries/ayandict/"]

search_worker_count = 8
search_timeout = "5s"

docker-compose:

version: '3.8'

services:
  ayandict-web:
    build:
      context: .
    environment:
      CONFIG_FILE: /app/config.toml
      GOPROXY: https://goproxy.io,direct
    volumes:
      - $PWD/docker-config.toml:/app/config.toml:ro
      - /mnt/nvme/other/glossaries/ayandict:/root/.stardict/dic:ro
    ports:
      - 8357:8357

and the path to my dictionaries looks like this:

Silly me, I just deployed the Docker! I should also install the app, right?

[ilius]

No install. You can compile and run it.

[shahram7]

No install. You can compile and run it.

doesn't it mean it's already complied when I see the Web ui?

I've seen in docker file that there is a line with go build with no gui tag.

[ilius]

For docker, it is compiled without GUI support, hence the -tags nogui flags.

[shahram7]

it means It should be compiled again?

[ilius]

Yes, just run go build outside docker.

[shahram7]

hi Saeed, I have done go build and now i get an error when i ./ayandict I've checked the errors with my buddy, chatgpt, and each he's told me to install this package and ./ayandictagain. I've installed following packages but i still get this error packages:
