Kodit

--- title: Sync description: Automatic synchronization of indexed codebases weight: 3 --- Kodit includes an automatic sync scheduler that keeps your indexed codebases up-to-date with the latest changes. This is especially useful for server deployments where multiple users are working with the same codebases. ## How Sync Works The sync scheduler runs as a background service that: 1. **Periodically checks** all existing indexes at a configurable interval 2. **Syncs each index** by pulling the latest changes from the source repository 3. **Updates the search index** with any new or modified code snippets 4. **Handles failures gracefully** with configurable retry attempts 5. **Logs detailed progress** for monitoring and debugging ## Configuration ### Environment Variables Configure the sync scheduler using these environment variables: ```bash # Enable/disable periodic sync (default: true) SYNC_PERIODIC_ENABLED=true # Sync interval in seconds (default: 1800 = 30 minutes) SYNC_PERIODIC_INTERVAL_SECONDS=1800 # Number of retry attempts for failed syncs (default: 3) SYNC_PERIODIC_RETRY_ATTEMPTS=3 ``` ### Common Configuration Examples #### Quick Development Setup For rapid development with frequent changes: ```bash SYNC_PERIODIC_ENABLED=true SYNC_PERIODIC_INTERVAL_SECONDS=300 # 5 minutes SYNC_PERIODIC_RETRY_ATTEMPTS=1 ``` #### Production Server Setup For production deployments with stable codebases: ```bash SYNC_PERIODIC_ENABLED=true SYNC_PERIODIC_INTERVAL_SECONDS=3600 # 1 hour SYNC_PERIODIC_RETRY_ATTEMPTS=3 ``` #### Disable Sync If you prefer to sync manually: ```bash SYNC_PERIODIC_ENABLED=false ``` ## Limitations - **Only syncs existing indexes**: The sync scheduler does not create new indexes for repositories that haven't been indexed yet - **Sequential processing**: Indexes are synced one at a time to avoid overwhelming the system - **No conflict resolution**: If there are conflicts during sync, the operation may fail and require manual intervention
