Cannot find a way to start it

[quentinglorieux]

I get this error: unknown command 'extension:searchsync'
What am I missing ?

I'm having the same issue. Do you have any updates on this?. Thanks

Hi @quentinglorieux

I've just did it (by chance). You just have to position inside the extensions/directus-extension-searchsync/ directory and run the "npx directus". This will load the plugin.

/directus/extensions $ npx directus
Usage: directus [command] [options]

Options:
  -v, --version        output the version number
  -h, --help           display help for command

Commands:
  start                Start the Directus API
  init                 Create a new Directus Project
  security
  database
  users
  roles
  count <collection>   Count the amount of items in a given collection
  bootstrap [options]  Initialize or update the database
  schema
  help [command]       display help for command

But now I'm facing an indexing issue wich I don't know how to solve really:

What is your setup? Are you using Docker?

[keniobats]

@LeBenLeBen Yes, I'm using docker engine v20, directus v9.23.1 and ELK Stack v 8.4.2

[LeBenLeBen]

Installing extensions from npm in the defaut Directus setup doesn’t work very well since the container doesn’t use the package.json. I personally created a custom container that load and install a local package.json where I installed the extension.

You can check my setup here:

• Directus directory with Dockerfile, package.json and searchsync.config.js: https://github.com/LeBenLeBen/cookr-node/tree/directus/packages/backend
• Docker compose: https://github.com/LeBenLeBen/cookr-node/blob/directus/docker-compose.yml#L33-L44
• Command to reindex: https://github.com/LeBenLeBen/cookr-node/blob/directus/README.md#reindexing-recipes
