I was trying to get yacy working in a tiny container, but the dang thing kept crashing after indexing about 500,000 sites. Yacy is like a peer to peer web crawler. Too busy to dig into it and figure out why.
You did this for work?
Nope, just for fun.
That makes more sense. I think self hosted search engines are a interesting idea but they are hard to make work usually
I've tried getting yacy to work on two separate occasions. I've thrown generous resources at it but never had a satisfying experience.
So it's not just me. I watched its memory use rock slowly up until it ran out, then it died.
