- More generally, this allows configuring the khoj search anytime
while in khoj minibuffer window
- Earlier could only configure search type at the start of the search
- What
- Default to last used search type, when no search type specified
- Allow user to change search type before they enter query (and
after they've called khoj), if they want
- Why
- Reduce time from intent to results by using reasonable defaults
- Make interactions smoother, more intuitive
- Test invalid config file path throws. Remove redundant cli test
- Simplify cli parser code
- Do not need to explicitly check if args.config_file set.
argparser checks for positional arguments automatically
- Use standard semantics for cli args
- All positional args are required. Non positional args are optional
- Improve command line --help description
- Add custom validator to throw if neither input_filter or
input_<files|directories> are specified
- Set field expecting paths to type Path
- Now that default_config isn't used in code. We can update
fields in rawconfig to specify whether they're required or not.
This lets pydantic validate config file and throw appropriate error
- Reason
- Simplifies code. No merge_dict required
- 1 place for user to see all configurables, defaults and required values
- Details
- Remove default_config from code. Set defaults in khoj_sample.yml itself
- Keep fields required to be set by user as empty in khoj_sample to YAML
- Set defaults for fields not requiring configuration by user
- Do not want browsers to use the small, grainy favicons
- Firefox for Android does use the bigger icon, when it's the only one available
- Update svg to match the 144x144 ratio just for consistency
### Details
#### Github Workflows
- Make Github Workflows use `pip` instead of `conda`
- Publish Khoj as Python Package Automatically
- Version based on [PEP440](https://peps.python.org/pep-0440/) and [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) specs
- On Push to Master: Publish a pre-release (alpha) to PyPI
- On Push to PR: Publish a development-release on TestPyPI
- On creating a (release) tag: Publish the latest version (Major.Minor.Patch) to PyPI
#### Docker
- Make `Dockerfile` use `pip` to build image for Khoj. Faster, more standard flow than `conda`
- Only Build Docker Image on Push to Master
- Availability of pip package negates the need for docker image for PR testing
- Make Docker-Compose use Docker Image published to Github Container Registry
- Default Image search to disabled. [Fix loading CLIP model](https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers/issues/1659) before re-enabling
- PRs and Pushes to Master show up as newer than previous release. But
they're marked as development release or pre-release (alpha)
- Once create tag. The published pip package than becomes a final release
in PEP440 terminology
- Reduce size of app copied to container by adding unneeded
directories to .dockerignore. E.g Ignore docs, tests, pip build, dist
- Update MANIFEST.ini to include web, emacs interface directories
Web directory is used by the web interface which will be exposed by
the docker container
Currently only get into this state when debug breakpoints on backend
are keeping the connection open and user exits khoj search from Emacs
Results in a number of open connections that slow khoj down.
- Most concretely right now,
it eliminates the re-rank latency hit
on re-rank triggered on user hitting enter
after re-rank is already done on user idle
in the emacs interface
- Improves search latency of (incremental) search
- That is, sample_config.yml is renamed to khoj_sample.yml
- This makes the application config filename less generic,
more easily identifiable with the application
- Update docs, app accordingly
