I have to run npm run algolia at every new post or edit?

Hello and thanks for this great theme, I'm setting up it.

But I have one question about the algolia searche, like the tile says: I have to re-run the npm run algolia when I update the website?

If yes, there's a way to keep it always running, and is it correct? I mean like create a .service file like this (sorry I'm not familiar with npm):

[Unit]
Description=Run algolia
After=network.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/my-site/
ExecStart=/usr/bin/npm run algolia
Restart=always
User=root
Environment=ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME=my-index

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

thanks!

if you are using source control like e.g. git, then you can listen to commits via a CI server and trigger npm behaviour as one of the step in the workflow. A good example is github actions. here is an example file if it helps.
It doesnt matter if the site is then running locally, as the index is updated by the CI.

Thank you, unfortunately it’s not on a CI server but I found a quick and easy solution: use cron to launch the npm run algolia once per day.
