achoz

like a web search, but for your personal files. demo here

what it will do is just normalize your all documents, and later it will be easy to search. Like suppose you read something fantastic in any of your pdf file, but after sometime you forgot the name of that pdf. Here web search may not help you but achoz surely gonna help you to find that file.

Story

cregox have a lot of data. files, emails, messages, web links, web content, etc. they also are of different kinds; text, video, audio, apps, etc. when trying to find something they do remember to be there, sometimes it gets impossible! the goal of achoz is making cregox self-data-searching-life not only easier, but enable a new world of possibilities, in which they don’t have to worry anymore how to store data for themselves (as long as it’s stored with open and free standards).

Installation.

Linux (x86_64,aarch64)

Requirement.

python3.8+ meilisearch

User must have to ensure that you are using same meilisearch version as achoz. Since meilisearch database is not compatible over different version. so achoz have option to install meilisearch for you.

following packages must be installed in your system. Instructions for Debian and ubuntu. use your own package manager to install it.

apt-get install python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev antiword unrtf poppler-utils pstotext tesseract-ocr \
flac ffmpeg lame libmad0 libsox-fmt-mp3 sox libjpeg-dev swig

After that. use pip to install achoz. pip install achoz

Meilisearch

Once you have done with above. achoz executable should be in your PATH. Now lets install meilisearch.

sudo achoz --install-meili

it will download and install meilisearch binary at /usr/local/bin/ you could specify another path to install. just make sure that path should be cover by $PATH Environment.

achoz --install-meili path/to/dir

Usage

achoz -a ~/Documents

what above command gonna do is, it will start crawling all documents and file in documents directory. and it will start a web server at default port 8990. It will create an config.json at ~/.achoz , you could add more options at config file.

you could just create config file only. and add all those directory in configuration file instead. for more options achoz -h

Sample config file

{
    "dir_to_index": ["/home/kcubeterm/Documents","/home/kcubeterm/books"],
    "dir_to_ignore": ["/home/kcubeterm/secrets/","*.git","*.db","*.achoz","*.config"],
    "web_port": 8990,
    "meili_api_port": 8989,
    "data_dir": "/home/kcubeterm/.achoz"
}

One could stop achoz to index specific directory where you keeps, secret or just dont want to index. you could add patterns like above config.
