manticore v0.1.0

Manticore Search — a fast, open-source search engine: full-text search, filtering, faceting, autocomplete, and vector search, with a MySQL-compatible SQL interface and an HTTP/JSON API (an Elasticsearch alternative). Deployed as a host-networked Nomad service with a persistent data volume.

nomad-pack run manticore --registry nomploy

…or one line (add registry + run)

curl -fsSL https://packs.nomploy.com/install.sh | sh -s -- manticore

Needs nomad-pack on PATH. The script only adds the nomploy registry and runs this pack.

Back up this pack

This pack stores data in one Docker named volume: manticore_data

restic

# Run on the node hosting this pack. Point restic at your repo first:
#   export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="s3:https://<account>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/<bucket>"
#   export RESTIC_PASSWORD="<repo-password>"
#   export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key>  AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret>
restic backup \
  /var/lib/docker/volumes/manticore_data/_data

rclone (sync to S3/R2)

rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/manticore_data/_data backup:<bucket>/manticore_data

Paths assume the default Docker volume location (/var/lib/docker/volumes). Restore by stopping the job, restoring files into the same volume, and re-running the pack.

Readme

manticore

Manticore Search — a fast, open-source search engine. Full-text search, filtering, faceting, autocomplete/suggestions, and vector search, exposed through a MySQL-compatible SQL interface and an HTTP/JSON API. A lean Elasticsearch alternative that's easy to run and query.

Single host-networked Nomad service with a persistent data volume.

Deploy

nomad-pack registry add nomploy https://github.com/Nomploy/nomad-packs
nomad-pack run manticore --registry=nomploy

Configure

Variable	Default	Description
`sql_port`	`9306`	MySQL-compatible SQL port.
`http_port`	`9308`	HTTP/JSON API port.
`binary_port`	`9312`	Binary protocol (inter-node/replication).
`data_volume`	`manticore_data`	`/var/lib/manticore` — all tables and indexes.
`image`	`manticoresearch/manticore:latest`	Container image. Pin a tag in production.
`resources`	`{ cpu = 500, memory = 512 }`	Task resources. Bump memory for large indexes.

Connect with any MySQL client (mysql -h <node-ip> -P 9306) or the JSON API on 9308. The EXTRA=1 env enables the auto-schema/buddy helpers for a smooth quick start. Ports are unauthenticated — keep them on an internal network. Pin the job to the node holding the volume with constraints.
