Kidex

A simple file indexing service

Installation

On Arch or Arch-based distros the AUR package kidex-git can be installed.

Manual installation

Simply run the following in the projects directory.

sh cargo install --path .

Configuration

Kidex only has a single config file to be placed in ~/.config/kidex.ron, which uses the following structure: ron Config( ignored: [], // A list of patterns to be ignored in all directories directories: [ WatchDir( path: "/home/kirottu/Documents", // The root folder to be indexed recurse: true, // Recursively index and watch all subfolders ignored: [], // Ignore patterns specifically for this directory ), ], )

Usage

To start the service, simply run kidex and make sure it runs in the background. To get data from the service, the provided kidex-client binary can be used to get JSON output of the index. Alternatively a tool like Anyrun (with the kidex plugin) can be used to search for files using kidex.
