Index Pack Manager

Purpose

Index Pack Manager supervises installed or available index packages.

Use it to see which packages are present and how they affect local search.

What You Can Do Here

  • Index Pack Manager supervises installed or available index packages.
  • Define the source, target, format, collection, and expected size before starting.
  • Monitor progress because large transfers continue beyond the initial request.

Page Architecture

Import and export pages translate external data formats into YaCy documents or move YaCy index data into another store. Most long-running actions create background work that should be monitored afterward.

Correct Use

Use the manager to inspect packages before installing or removing them. Package changes can alter what local searches find without running a new crawl.

Access And Safety

Administrator access is required. YaCy protects _p pages as administration pages.

Protected related endpoint(s): /IndexPackManager_p.html.

Automation And API

Page backend: source/net/yacy/htroot/IndexPackManager_p.java.

Endpoint Method Access Backend
/IndexPackManager_p.html GET or POST admin source/net/yacy/htroot/IndexPackManager_p.java

Parameter Guide

The table explains values that an agent or script must set deliberately. Parameters not relevant to a task should be omitted or left at the page default.

Parameter Meaning and valid values Care
delete Deletes the selected URL, path, or index scope. Confirm the scope first. Can remove data, stop work, expose access, or make a broad operational change. Use only with explicit confirmation and an exact target.
file Selected or uploaded file. Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.

Example request shape:

GET or POST /IndexPackManager_p.html?delete=...&file=...&mvfrom=...&mvto=...

What To Expect

The page should show package state, installed packages, or available package actions. Search results may change after package installation or removal.

  • Related transfer work is usually reached through the import/export page for the same format, the index-pack pages, or the queue/status page that reports progress.
