relevant-xkcd

You know how the old saying goes - "There's an XKCD for that!"

Check out a hosted version of the project here.

What is this?

This is a search engine + crawler backend for XKCD comics. There's a simple API to search for comics. This will search through titles, transcript, and discussion. The comics list is automatically refreshed in the background every 6 hours (even though Randall updates less frequently - every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday).

How this works

The lovely folks at ExplainXKCD have a detailed explanation, transcript and everything in between for every XKCD comic ever. Searching that is probably a good idea to get a relevant XKCD.

Installation

The server is dockerized. To get an instance running on port 8080 of your host machine, simply do:

$ docker pull adtac/relevant-xkcd:latest
$ docker run -d -p 8080:8080 adtac/relevant-xkcd:latest
