# Gophew

Gopher crawler and search-enabled server powered by Pituophis.

## crawler.py

This script creates the searchable database and outputs it as JSON. Edit settings inside the script.

```python

###########################

settings = {

    'limit_host': 'your.live.host',  # Host to limit to (for indexing single servers, which is highly recommended)

    'only_record_host': True,

    'path_must_start_with': '/',  # What the path/selector must start with

    'db_filename': 'db.json',  # Filename to use for the database

    'delay': 2,  # x second delay between grabbing files; please be courteous to servers you don't own! 

    'crawl_url': 'gopher://your.live.host/1/',  # URL to crawl (after finished updating the index)

    'cooldown': 86400,  # Required cooldown in ms before crawling a URL again

    'ignore_types': ['i', '3']  # Types of items that should be ignored and not recorded

}

```

## gophew.py

The frontend Gopher server, that uses [Pituophis](https://github.com/dotcomboom/Pituophis) with an alternate handler.

```python

###########################

settings = {

    'host': 'your.live.host',

    'port': 70,

    'pub_dir': 'pub/',

    # Gophew

    'index': 'db.json',  # Index to use (generated by crawler.py)

    'alternate_titles': True,  # Whether to display alternate titles

    'referrers': True,  # Whether to display referring URLs

    'search_path': '/search', # What the path must start with in order to do a search (a file shouldn't exist here for the alt handler to go off)

    'typestrings': True, # Allow filtering searches by type, i.e. /search01 for textfiles and directories.

    'root_path': '/',  # Path to link to on the results page

    'allow_empty_queries': False,  # Whether to allow empty search queries

    

    # Below lines can be disabled by setting them to None

    'root_text': 'Back to root',

    'new_search_text': 'Try another search', 

    'new_search_text_same_filter': 'Try another search with the same criteria',

    'results_caption': 'Results for {} (out of {} items)',

    'types_caption': 'Filtering types: {}',

    'empty_queries_not_allowed_msg': 'Empty search queries are not allowed on this server.'
