fafi
Web content indexing and search tool.
- Easily index your browser bookmarks: importing list of files, a live Firefox profile, and individual URLs
- Store the readability content of each bookmark
- Full text search matching the title and contents of the collection.
On the latest incarnation:
- Aim of the rewrite in GO is to have a single binary that starts a webserver which can be started via systemd and queried via firefox.
- On launch it will index any missing bookmarks (in a background process)
This is how it looks:
Environment variables
If the working directory contains a .env file, then the following configuration can be declared:
# Defaults are below:
# Port number for the webserver.
FAFI_PORT=8080
# Set to non-empty value to skip populating the database with sample records.
FAFI_SKIP_RECORDS=0
# Set to 0 to disable indexing on startup
FAFI_ENABLE_INDEXING=1
# Default database path:
FAFI_DB_FILEPATH=/home/user/fafi.sqlite3
# Enable importing bookmarks from Firefox profile db:
FAFI_FIREFOX=/home/san.../32kuswpy.default-release/places.sqlite
Command-line arguments
Each of the environment variables are available as a longform command-line argument by discarding FAFI_ and lower-casing the result, replacing underscores with dashes. For example FAFI_ENABLE_INDEXING=0 and --enable-indexing=0 are equivalent.
Build and run
# build with full-text search
$ go build --tags fts5 -o tmp/fafi2 fafi2
# run, eg indexing your Firefox places database
$ tmp/fafi2 --firefox=/path/to/firefox/profile/places.sqlite
