Docker-sphinxsearch

Docker image for Sphinx search engine

docker pull macbre/sphinxsearch:latest

or from GitHub Containers Registry:

docker pull ghcr.io/macbre/sphinxsearch:latest

Usage example

You can use this image in docker-compose-powered app:

services:
  sphinx:
    image: macbre/sphinxsearch:3.7.1
    ports:
    - "127.0.0.1:36307:36307" # bind to local interface only!
    volumes:
    - ./data:/opt/sphinx/indexes  # directory where sphinx will store index data
    - ./sphinx.conf:/opt/sphinx/conf/sphinx.conf  # SphinxSE configuration file
    mem_limit: 512m # match indexer.value from sphinx.conf

or you can provide your custom config file:

services:
  sphinx:
    image: macbre/sphinxsearch:3.7.1
    environment:
    - SPHINX_CONFIG_FILE=/opt/sphinx/conf/my_custom_file.conf
    ports:
    - "127.0.0.1:36307:36307" # bind to local interface only!
    volumes:
    - ./data:/opt/sphinx/indexes  # directory where sphinx will store index data
    - ./my_custom_file.conf:/opt/sphinx/conf/my_custom_file.conf  # SphinxSE configuration file
    mem_limit: 512m # match indexer.value from sphinx.conf

1. First, execute docker-compose run sphinx indexer --all to prepare indices. Otherwise, you'd end up with WARNING: index 'test_index': prealloc: failed to open /opt/sphinx/indexes/test_index/test_index.sph: No such file or directory; NOT SERVING error.
2. Then, execute docker-compose up -d to run sphinsearch daemon in the background.
