How to Use

Start dipus server

python -m dipus.websetup -c conf.json

conf.json example

{
  "indexroot": "/path/to/index"
}

Dipus server default url is “http://0.0.0.0:9876”.

Register sphinx document

1. Add extension to your conf.py

extensions = ['dipus.dipusbuilder']

and there are optional settings.

#dipus_server_url = "http://192.0.2.20"
#  url of dipus server
#  Default is "http://localhost:9876"

#dipus_index = "test_rst"
#  identifier of this document
#  Default is same as 'project' in conf.py

1. Run builder

   % sphinx-build -b dipus source build
   

   CAUTION: builder will overwrite _static/search_dipus.js and _template/search_dipus.html.

2. copy search file

   Note: This required once when after you change conf.py dipus related values.

   % cp _template/search_dipus.html _template/search.html
   

   If you have created your own search.html, please merge it.

3. make html as usual

   % make html
   

Note about builder will be done quickly, as “fire-and-forget”. But indexing itself on the server is not so quick. Please be patient until all your document will be indexed.

1. (optional) add dipus builder to Makefile

   Add line which invoke dipus builder in the html section in Makefile as blow.

     html:
       $(SPHINXBUILD) -b dipus $(ALLSPHINXOPTS) $(BUILDDIR)/html
       $(SPHINXBUILD) -b html $(ALLSPHINXOPTS) $(BUILDDIR)/html
   
   Then, whenever type 'make html', documents are registerd.
