Thank you for your response 🙂 I will stick to sqlite

How do i use environment variables to make a indexer? I couldn’t get it to work

i.e. the part with directories hister.org/…/indexing-local-files-with-hister

indexer:
  directories:
    - path: ~/Documents
      filetypes: ['md', 'txt']
    - path: ~/code/projects
      filetypes: ['txt']
      excludes: [, 'secret/*', '*key']
    - path: ~/notes
      patterns: ['*.org', 'doc_*', 'README']

I have tried it a bit today and I like it, but I have a few questions

• Is it better to run it in docker or e.g. a LXC in proxmox? If i want to index files, it seems it needs the config.yml file
• After just playing with it for a day, the disk usage is 150 MB. I figure I should use postgres instead of sqlite. Do you have any examples on how to set that up, preferably with docker? I guess I can figure it out, but it might take me some time. I am not familiar with pgvector

Can i use this in my self hosted environment? the docs talk mainly about running it in the terminal

does it have a docker install?

can i connect it to other services like paperless, or would i need to manually import files?

One note,

I used a raid with WD 8 TB drives, and when a drive failed we bought a Seagate Ironwolf Pro 8 TB to replace it.

The NAS wouldn’t accept it into the raid, because it had fewer bytes!

We found a workaround by tweaking partition sizes for that particular raid, but it caught me by surprise.

this was mdadm, not sure if zfs has some awareness to slightly differences in sizes between hdd models

Yes, I agree, batch moving stuff is important. I haven’t had that problem yet, so let’s hope they add it before I move or something 😅

I use homebox and it has been good for my home usecase. I have put qr codes on boxes to easily check contents from my phone
