zoektbox

Zoekt code-search service adapter for minibox.

Manages the lifecycle of Zoekt — a fast trigram-based code search engine — on a remote VPS. Handles binary distribution, deployment, and health monitoring.

Features

Platform detection (Linux amd64/arm64, macOS arm64)
Pinned release manifest with per-platform SHA256 checksums
VPS provisioning via go install (Zoekt does not publish pre-built binaries)
Remote deployment and service adapter

Modules

Module	Description
`release`	Pinned version manifest, platform detection, and binary names
`download`	Tarball download with SHA256 verification
`deploy`	Remote deployment via SSH / cargo xtask
`service`	`ZoektServiceAdapter` — start, stop, health-check the remote service

Pinned release

use zoektbox::ZOEKT_VERSION;
println!("deploying zoekt {ZOEKT_VERSION}");

The version, platform URLs, and SHA256 digests are pinned in release.rs. Update them when upgrading:

Bump ZOEKT_VERSION
Download each platform tarball and run sha256sum
Update expected_sha256 with the new digests

Provisioning

Zoekt is installed via go install on the target VPS because it does not publish GitHub release binaries. ZoektServiceAdapter::provision() runs:

GOBIN=/opt/zoekt/bin go install github.com/sourcegraph/zoekt/cmd/...@latest

Go must be present on the VPS PATH.
