Add a how-to guide for running finders in GOV.UK Docker
As there are many steps involved in this, I decided to put this in its own "how to" page.

# How to Publish Content to a Finder in GOV.UK Docker | ||
|
||
This guide explains how to use GOV.UK Docker to develop features for finders, and how to publish content to test your | ||
finder with locally. The instructions below assume that you have "made" all of the relevant projects before starting. | ||
|
||
This has been tested predominantly using Specialist Publisher, but other publishing apps should work just as well. | ||
|
||
1. Start your publishing app of choice, e.g. `govuk-docker up specialist-publisher-app` | ||
2. Start the finder-frontend app: `govuk-docker up finder-frontend-app` | ||
3. Create a router backend for finder frontend: `curl http://router-api.dev.gov.uk/backends/finder-frontend -X PUT \ | ||
-H 'Content-type: application/json' \ | ||
-d '{"backend": {"backend_url": "http://finder-frontend.dev.gov.uk/"}}'` | ||
4. Create a router backend for frontend (this is needed to serve the root taxon created in step 7): `curl http://router-api.dev.gov.uk/backends/frontend -X PUT \ | ||
-H 'Content-type: application/json' \ | ||
-d '{"backend": {"backend_url": "http://frontend.dev.gov.uk/"}}'` | ||
5. Create a router backend for collections (this is needed to serve the test taxon created in step 8): `curl http://router-api.dev.gov.uk/backends/collections -X PUT \ | ||
-H 'Content-type: application/json' \ | ||
-d '{"backend": {"backend_url": "http://collections.dev.gov.uk/"}}'` | ||
6. Publish Search API's routes by | ||
running `govuk-docker exec search-api-app bundle exec rake publishing_api:publish_special_routes`. | ||
7. Publish the root taxon for GOV.UK: `govuk-docker run special-route-publisher-lite rake publish_homepage` | ||
8. Publish a test taxon: `govuk-docker run whitehall-app-lite rails taxonomy:populate_end_to_end_test_data`, then `govuk-docker run whitehall-lite rails taxonomy:rebuild_cache` | ||
9. Publish your specialist finder or general finder page. | ||
* For a specialist | ||
finder: `govuk-docker exec specialist-publisher-app bundle exec rails publishing_api:publish_finder\[finder_name\]` | ||
* For a general finder, e.g. the all content | ||
finder: `govuk-docker exec search-api-app env FINDER_CONFIG=all_content_finder.yml bundle exec rake publishing_api:publish_finder` | ||
10. Create the search | ||
indices: `govuk-docker exec search-api-app env SEARCH_INDEX=all bundle exec rake search:create_all_indices` | ||
11. Create the publishing api RabbitMQ exchange so that Search API can listen for new content to | ||
index: `govuk-docker exec publishing-api-app bundle exec rake setup_exchange` | ||
12. Create the search API message | ||
queues: `govuk-docker exec search-api-worker bundle exec rake message_queue:create_queues` | ||
13. Run `govuk-docker exec search-api-worker bundle exec rake message_queue:insert_data_into_govuk` to listen for | ||
messages. This is a long-running process, so you may want to start it in the background. | ||
14. Publish a document. It should show up in the search results. | ||
