Lighthouse is a lightning-fast advanced search engine API for publications on the lbrycrd with autocomplete capabilities. The official lighthouse instance is live at https://lighthouse.lbry.com
- Elasticsearch as a backend db server.
- LBRYimport, an importer that imports the claims into the Elasticsearch database.
- Lighthouse API server, which serves the API and does all calculations about what to send to the end user.
To make a simple search by string:
https://lighthouse.lbry.com/search?s=stringtosearch
To get autocomplete suggestions:
https://lighthouse.lbry.com/autocomplete?s=stringtocomp
To get started you should clone the git:
git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lighthouse
Make sure elasticsearch is running and run (from the lighthouse dir):
./dev.sh
You are now up and running! You can connect to lighthouse at http://localhost:50005. Lighthouse will continue syncing in the background. It usually takes ~15 minutes before all claims are up to date in the database.
