Installation

Uses the current stable release of the Typesense Docker image.

With DDEV installed, run this command:

ddev get kevinquillen/ddev-typesense

Configuration

The Typesense container is reached at hostname: “typesense”, port: 8108. Outside of the container, you can visit 127.0.0.1:8109/health in your browser to verify health status.

The default API key for Typesense is ddev. You can provide your own by adding to .ddev/.env in your project, and adding the TYPESENSE_API_KEY variable:

TYPESENSE_API_KEY=my_api_key_value

Admin Dashboard

This DDEV addon also includes the admin dashboard by bfritscher:

https://github.com/bfritscher/typesense-dashboard

The admin dashboard is useful to navigate your collections and schema and debug your search.

You can access the admin dashboard by navigating to this URL in your browser:

http://typesense.(DDEV_HOSTNAME):8109/#/login

To login, provide the configured API key, 127.0.0.1 as the hostname, and 8108 as the port. Leave the path blank.

Drupal and Search API

If you are using Drupal, you can use Search API and the Search API Typesense modules to connect to the running Typesense instance.
