Solidstack Service

Solidstack is the single-container WDS server. It exposes the Dapi REST, Swagger, and MCP surfaces while running Crawler, Datakeeper, Idealer, Jober, Scraper, and Retriever implementations in process. This lowers the footprint for evaluation and small workloads but does not provide the independent scaling or fault isolation of a multi-service deployment.

Configuration

Name Required Default Meaning
MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING Yes None MongoDB connection string for all in-process components. Include a database name unless MONGODB_DATABASE_NAME is set.
MONGODB_DATABASE_NAME No Database from the connection string Overrides the MongoDB database name.
JOB_TYPES Yes None Available job types, supplied as a comma-separated value.
TASKS_GET_RESULT_RETRY_DELAY_MS No 1000 Delay in milliseconds between attempts to obtain an in-process task result.
CRAWL_TASK_FAILURE_RECOVERY_DELAY_SEC No 600 Age in seconds after which an abandoned captured crawl task can be recovered.
EXTERNAL_IP_ADDRESS_CONFIGS No None Comma-separated Crawler address configurations.
FEATURE_FLAG_RETRIEVAL_ENABLED No false Enables the Retrieval surface.
SEARCH_MODE No FullText Search behavior: FullText, Vector, or FullTextAndVector.
EMBEDDING_SERVICE_URL For vector modes None HTTP endpoint used to create embeddings.
EMBEDDING_SERVICE_API_KEY No None Bearer token sent to the embedding service.
EMBEDDING_SERVICE_REQUEST_TEMPLATE No {'model':'embeddinggemma','input':null} JSON request template sent to the embedding service.
EMBEDDING_SERVICE_CONTENT_JSON_PATH No $.input JSONPath whose value is replaced with the input array.
EMBEDDING_SERVICE_RESULT_JSON_PATH No $.embeddings JSONPath used to extract the returned embeddings array.
EMBEDDING_VECTORS_LENGTH No 768 Number of dimensions stored in the MongoDB Atlas vector index.
GLOBAL_EXCEPTION_RESPONSE_DELAY_MS No 1000 Delay in milliseconds before returning an unhandled-error response.
HEALTH_PROBE_LOG_LEVEL No Debug Log level used for /health and /ready request messages.
MIN_LOG_LEVEL No Info Minimum application log level.

Endpoints and dependencies

Port 8080 serves the REST API, /api/swagger, /api/swagger/swagger.json, /mcp, /health, and /ready. Solidstack uses MongoDB for system, cache, and search data and optionally calls an HTTP embedding service for vector modes; it has no inter-service gRPC-Web dependencies.

When Retrieval is enabled, the primary MongoDB deployment must support MongoDB Atlas Search. Vector modes also require an embedding service, and EMBEDDING_VECTORS_LENGTH must match the dimensions configured by the MongoDB vector-search index.

Solidstack’s current feature provider disables Scheduling. Use the multi-service Dapi and Jober topology when Scheduling is required.

JobTypes

Supported job execution environments. Dapi or Solidstack restricts the allowed values through JOB_TYPES; Crawler or Solidstack must also advertise a matching address configuration.

Name Description
internet Crawl data from internet sources via request gateways (Proxy addresses, Host IP addresses, etc.)
intranet Crawl data from intranet sources with no limits
