About

Sourcebot is a fast code indexing and search tool for your codebases. It is built ontop of the zoekt indexer, originally authored by Han-Wen Nienhuys and now maintained by Sourcegraph.

Getting Started

Using Docker

0. Install docker

1. Create a config.json file and list the repositories you want to index. For example, if we want to index all repositories in vercel, we could use the following config:

{
    "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TaqlaAI/sourcebot/main/schemas/zoekt-mirror.json",
    "Config": [
        {
            "Type": "github",
            "GitHubOrg": "vercel"
        }
    ]
}

Sourcebot also supports indexing GitLab & BitBucket. Checkout the config schema for a full list of available options.

2. Generate a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) here. If you are indexing public repositories only, you can select the public_repo scope, otherwise you will need the repo scope. (GitLab and BitBucket instructions are below)

3. Launch the latest image from the GitHub registry:

docker run -p 3000:3000 --rm --name sourcebot -v $(pwd):/data -e GITHUB_TOKEN=<token> ghcr.io/taqlaai/sourcebot:main

Two things should happen: (1) a .sourcebot directory will be created containing the mirror repositories and indexes, and (2) you will see output similar to:

INFO spawned: 'node-server' with pid 10
INFO spawned: 'zoekt-indexserver' with pid 11
INFO spawned: 'zoekt-webserver' with pid 12
run [zoekt-mirror-github -dest /data/.sourcebot/repos -delete -org <org>]
...
INFO success: node-server entered RUNNING state, process has stayed up for > than 1 seconds (startsecs)
INFO success: zoekt-indexserver entered RUNNING state, process has stayed up for > than 1 seconds (startsecs)
INFO success: zoekt-webserver entered RUNNING state, process has stayed up for > than 1 seconds (startsecs)

zoekt will now index your repositories (at HEAD). By default, it will re-index existing repositories every hour, and discover new repositories every 24 hours.

4. Go to http://localhost:3000 - once a index has been created, you should get results.

Disabling Telemetry

By default, Sourcebot collects anonymous usage data using PostHog. You can disable this by setting the environment variable SOURCEBOT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED to 1 in the docker run command. Example:

docker run -e SOURCEBOT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1 ...stuff... ghcr.io/taqlaai/sourcebot:main
