rpowered/sphinxsearch repository overview

This container, based on Ubuntu 14.04, launches SphinxSearch in the foreground, and a go based web application in the background, which accepts requests to rotate indexes:

http://<address>:8080/rotate/<index>

  Call with --all to rotate all indexes in your configuration file:

http://<address>:8080/rotate/--all

  Launch this container from docker-compose:

  sphinxsearch:
    image: rpowered/sphinxsearch
    container_name: sphinxsearch
    network_mode: "bridge"
    volumes:
      - /etc/sphinxsearch:/etc/sphinxsearch
      - /var/lib/sphinxsearch/data:/var/lib/sphinxsearch/data

  This allows your configuration and data to be stored on your host. The web application listens on port 8080.

You can test indexing by connecting to the running container and running from the command line:

docker exec -it sphinxsearch bash
curl localhost:8080/rotate/--all

docker run --volume=/etc/sphinxsearch:/etc/sphinxsearch --volume=/var/lib/sphinxsearch/data:/var/lib/sphinxsearch/data -it --rm rpowered/sphinxsearch 'indexer --all'

  Once running, you can add new indexes, connect to the container, and build the indexes as you need.
