ForgeFind
This is a simple, hacked-together python webapp to serve as a proof-of-concept dempnstration of a search tool similar to https://grep.app that can search multiple different code hosting platforms.
Setup and running
pipenv install- (optional) create a .env file according to the env variables below
FLASK_APP=app pipenv run flask run
Environment variables
GITLAB_TOKEN - a token appropriate for accessing the gitlab.com api.
Hosting
There is a docker container intended for hosting this. to build it run docker build -t forgefind ., to run it interactively, use docker run -it --rm -p 5000:5000 forgefind
You will need to specify your environment variables when running the container either using --env-file=.env or specifying each variable with -e
Forge support:
The homepage of the website will list the currently supported forges as there are a fair number of them now. Forges based on the following software are the easiest to add since handling for their API's is already implemented:
- Gitea
- Gogs
- Gitlab (requires auth tokens when running)
- Launchpad
Project Limitations/intentions
Currently this project is intended to evaluate the concept of having a multi-forge search type of website and allow people to give it a try.
It mostly relies on anonymously accessing public API's of various hosting providers and is therefore not able to handle the kinds of high-volume use that can result from having more than a few users. Therefore this should be considered to be "for personal use".
This is definitely not an ideal solution and isnt intended to search every public repository that exists. If this is what you need, id recommend supporting the https://forgefed.org project.
