Reindexing content via an instance script

Reindexing content via an instance script#

This document describes how to run the reindex_content.py instance script locally or inside a Docker container.

This is useful in cases where a lot of content needs to be reindexed, and running the operation inside a request would time out.

Option

Description

INDEXES (required)

Comma-separated list of catalog indexes to reindex.

PORTAL_TYPE (optional)

Comma-separated list of portal types to limit the reindexing.

Usage#

Docker#

$ PORTAL_TYPE=<portal_type> INDEXES=<indexes> \
  ./docker-entrypoint.sh run scripts/reindex_content.py

Locally#

$ PORTAL_TYPE=<portal_type> INDEXES=<indexes> \
  .venv/bin/zconsole run scripts/reindex_content.py

Examples#

Reindex Title and sortable_title for one type#

$ PORTAL_TYPE=Contact INDEXES=Title,sortable_title \
  ./docker-entrypoint.sh run scripts/reindex_content.py

Reindex SearchableText for multiple types#

(The types need to be inside quotation marks if they include spaces.)

$ PORTAL_TYPE="Document,News Item" INDEXES=SearchableText \
  ./docker-entrypoint.sh run scripts/reindex_content.py
