# Myrient Search Engine
|
|
It is finally here. There is now a way to search all of Myrient's offerings.
|
|
[Myrient Search](https://myrient.mahou.one) can be accessed by clicking the link.
|
|
# Resource Requirements
|
|
- 1.5GB-ish of memory for the initial crawl (can be reduced by tweaking environment variables at the cost of slower indexing)
|
|
- 800MB-ish of memory for running the server
|
|
- HTTPS for some CORS functions to work correctly.
|
|
|
|
# Post Metasearch update
|
|
Please clear your elasticsearch instance, and possibly run a new file rebuild to ensure there are no errors after updating your docker container or pulling the repo.
|
|
|
|
# Self-Hosting
|
|
|
|
## Docker Method (Recommended)
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
- Docker / Docker Compose
|
|
|
|
### Instructions
|
|
1. Download the `docker-compose.yml` file
|
|
2. Start the server with `docker-compose up -d`
|
|
|
|
## Manual Method (Development)
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
- nodejs
|
|
- npm
|
|
- PostgreSQL
|
|
- Elasticsearch
|
|
- Docker (optional)
|
|
|
|
### Instructions
|
|
1. Clone the repository. `git clone https://github.com/alexankitty/Myrient-Search-Engine`
|
|
2. Install dependencies. `npm i`
|
|
3. Run your PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch instances. A docker compose file is provided in the repository for convenience.
|
|
4. Start the server. `node server.js`
|
|
|
|
# HTTPS Encryption
|
|
Use something like `nginx` and add a site to sites-available called myrient-search in `/etc/nginx/sites-available`.
|
|
Link the site to the sites-enabled folder. `ln -sf /etc/nginx/sites-available/myrient-search /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/myrient-search`
|
|
## nginx Site Template
|
|
```
|
|
server {
|
|
listen 80;
|
|
listen [::]:80;
|
|
|
|
server_name server address.tld
|
|
root /usr/share/nginx
|
|
access_log on;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
#server {
|
|
|
|
listen 443 ssl http2;
|
|
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
|
|
|
|
server_name serveraddress.tld;
|
|
access_log on;
|
|
|
|
root /usr/share/nginx;
|
|
|
|
location / {
|
|
add_header Cache-Control no-cache;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
|
|
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
|
|
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8062/;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
## SSL Certificate
|
|
For the SSL certificate you can use certbot via the `certbot -d servername.tld` command and adding it to your `crontab`.
|
|

# Opengraph
|
|
To ensure OpenGraph metadata embed for chat apps works correctly, please be sure to set `HOSTNAME` in `.env` or `docker-compose.yml` to the FQDN (fully qualifed domain name) of the server that is hosting the site.
|
|
|
|
# Metadata
|
|
To enable metadata synchronize and matching, you will need to create a developer application in the [Twitch TV Developer Console](https://dev.twitch.tv/console) and then add your client id to `TWITCH_CLIENT_ID` in `.env` or `docker-compose.yml` along with adding your client secret to `TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET`. Metadata takes about half an hour to synchronize from IGDB to your database, and about another half an hour to match via Postgres Full Text Search. Once all other database maintenance operations are done, the database will attempt to match anything that still isn't matched using a much slower fuzzy trigram search that can take up to a day to complete. These processes won't run again until a new crawl of myrient has been performed and the file count has increased.

# AI Chat Assistant
|
|
The search engine includes an optional AI chat assistant that can help users find games and answer questions. The AI assistant appears as a floating button in the bottom-right corner of all pages. You will have to fill API configuration in `.env` or `docker-compose.yml` to enable the AI chat assistant.
|
|
|
|
The AI chat is OpenAI compatible, so you can use any compatible providers, like ChatGPT, Gemini, Ollama etc. We recommend using [Groq](https://groq.com) with `openai/gpt-oss-120b`, as it has excellent performance, great reasoning and generous limits for free usage.

# Contributing
|
|
You know the usual fluff.
|
|
Is there a missing category or string association? `lib/categories.json` and any of the files under `lib/json/relatedkeywords` can both updated to include these. If you do update/improve these, please put in a pull request so that it can be added to the public hosted server, as well.
|
|
Pull requests are always welcome. Make sure to make any changes clear in your pull request, and if possible, run any files you've modified through prettier. |
