The one-liner to spin up a code search engine

OpenGrok is a code search engine made by Sun (and now Oracle). It provides similar functions to LXR⁠ but more. This project encapsulated OpenGrok into a docker container. Allowing you to start an instance of OpenGrok by one command.

⁠Usage

To start the OpenGrok, simply run:

docker run -d -v [source to be indexed on host]:/src -p [public port]:8080 itszero/opengrok

It may take a while for the indexer to finish the first-time indexing, after that, the search engine is available at http://host:[public port]/source/.

⁠Note

The project does not support dynamic index updating for now. It could be achieved by touch /grok/reindex in the container. However, I haven't found the best way to expose this mechanism.
