Lighthouse is a lightning-fast advanced search engine API for publications on the lbrycrd with autocomplete capabilities. The official lighthouse instance is live at https://lighthouse.lbry.com
- Elasticsearch as a backend db server.
- LBRYimport, an importer that imports the claims into the Elasticsearch database.
- Lighthouse API server, which serves the API and does all calculations about what to send to the end user.
To make a simple search by string:
https://lighthouse.lbry.com/search?s=stringtosearch
To get autocomplete suggestions:
https://lighthouse.lbry.com/autocomplete?s=stringtocomp
To get started you should clone the git:
git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lighthouse
Make sure elasticsearch is running and run (from the lighthouse dir):
./dev.sh
You are now up and running! You can connect to lighthouse at http://localhost:50005. Lighthouse will continue syncing in the background. It usually takes ~15 minutes before all claims are up to date in the database.
To resolve this error you will want to access the dev console of Kibana and run the following query to unlock the index
FORBIDDEN/12/index read-only / allow delete (api)]. It commonly happens when you runing out of disk space and elastic search will lock the index from changes.
PUT claims/_settings
{
"index": {
"blocks": {
"read_only_allow_delete": "false"
}
}
}
