public-inbox-index - create and update search indices
=head1 SYNOPSIS
public-inbox-index [OPTIONS] INBOX_DIR
=head1 DESCRIPTION
public-inbox-index creates and updates the search, overview and
NNTP article number database used by the read-only public-inbox
HTTP and NNTP interfaces. Currently, this requires
L<DBD::SQLite> and L<DBI> Perl modules. L<Search::Xapian>
is optional, only to support the PSGI search interface.
Once the initial indices are created by public-inbox-index,
L<public-inbox-mda(1)> and L<public-inbox-watch(1)> will
automatically maintain them.
Running this manually to update indices is only required if
relying on L<git-fetch(1)> to mirror an existing public-inbox;
or if upgrading to a new version of public-inbox using
the C<--reindex> option.
Having the overview and article number database is essential to
running the NNTP interface, and strongly recommended for the
HTTP interface as it provides thread grouping in addition to
normal search functionality.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over
=item --reindex
Forces a search engine re-index of all messages in the
repository. This can be used for in-place upgrades while
NNTP/HTTP server processes are utilizing the index. Keep in
mind this roughly doubles the size of the already-large
Xapian database.
This does not touch the NNTP article number database.
=back
=head1 FILES
For v1 (ssoma) repositories described in L<public-inbox-v1-format>.
All public-inbox-specific files are contained within the
C<$GIT_DIR/public-inbox/> directory.
v2 repositories are described in L<public-inbox-v2-format>.
=head1 ENVIRONMENT
=over 8
=item PI_CONFIG
Used to override the default "~/.public-inbox/config" value.
=item XAPIAN_FLUSH_THRESHOLD
The number of documents to update before committing changes to
disk. This environment is handled directly by Xapian, refer to
Xapian API documentation for more details.
Default: our indexing code flushes every megabyte of mail seen
to keep memory usage low. Setting this environment variable to
any positive value will switch to a document count-based
threshold in Xapian.
=back
=head1 UPGRADING
Occasionally, public-inbox will update it's schema version and
require a full index by running this command.
