How to ignore files and directories in opengrok used from docker?

Question

This is how I was doing that in some very old version of Opengrok:

docker run -d (...) -e IGNORE_PATTERNS="-i *.swp -i */build/*" (...)

Now I'm trying more recent version (1.5). I've found info that IGNORE_PATTERNS was changed to OPENGROK_IGNORE_PATTERNS but it doesn't work for me (opengrok works but files are not ignored).

This is my current command:

docker run -d -v /tmp/test1/:/opengrok/src -e OPENGROK_IGNORE_PATTERNS="-i *.swp -i d:build" -p 9876:8080 opengrok/docker:1.5

Answer 1

Apparently OPENGROK_IGNORE_PATTERNS was once again changed. This time to INDEXER_OPT which works.

Answer 2

Use the INDEXER_OPT environment variable to pass extra options to OpenGrok Indexer.

See more info about using a docker container for OpenGrok here.

Note: in release 1.6.4, a bug in INDEXER_OPT variable was fixed. Unfortunately, the release notes don't tell what was the issue and when the issue was introduced.
