Meilisearch
Meilisearch is a lightweight, fast and powerful search engine. Think
elastic search with a much smaller footprint.
Quickstart
the minimum to start meilisearch is
services.meilisearch.enable = true;
this will start the http server included with meilisearch on port
7700.
test with
curl -X GET 'http://localhost:7700/health'Usage
you first need to add documents to an index before you can search
for documents.
Add a documents to the <literal>movies</literal>
indexcurl -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/movies/documents' --data '[{"id": "123", "title": "Superman"}, {"id": 234, "title": "Batman"}]'Search documents in the <literal>movies</literal>
indexcurl 'http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/movies/search' --data '{ "q": "botman" }'

tolerant capabilities)
Defaults
The default nixos package doesn’t come with the
dashboard,
since the dashboard features makes some assets downloads at
compile time.
Anonimized Analytics sent to meilisearch are disabled by
default.
Default deployment is development mode. It doesn’t require a
secret master key. All routes are not protected and
accessible.
Missing
the snapshot feature is not yet configurable from the module,
it’s just a matter of adding the relevant environment
variables.
