Merge #1636
1636: Hotfix: Log but don't panic when vergen can't retrieve commit information r=curquiza a=Kerollmops

This pull request fixes an issue we discovered when we tried to publish meilisearch v0.21 on brew, brew uses the tarball downloaded from github directly which doesn't contain the `.git` folder.

We use the `.git` folder with [vergen](https://docs.rs/vergen) to retrieve the commit and datetime information. Unfortunately, we were unwrapping the vergen result and it was crashing when the git folder was missing.

We no more panic when vergen can't find the `.git` folder and just log out a potential error returned by [the git2 library](https://docs.rs/git2). We then just check that the env variables are available at compile-time and replace it with "unknown" if not.

### When the `.git` folder is available

```
xh localhost:7700/version
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2021 13:44:23 GMT

    "pkgVersion": "0.21.0"
}
```

### When the `.git` folder is unavailable

```bash
cp -R meilisearch meilisearch-cpy

Getting started

Deploy the Server

Homebrew (Mac OS)

brew update && brew install meilisearch
meilisearch

Docker

docker run -p 7700:7700 -v "$(pwd)/data.ms:/data.ms" getmeili/meilisearch

Try MeiliSearch in our Sandbox

Create a MeiliSearch instance in MeiliSearch Sandbox. This instance is free, and will be active for 48 hours.

Run on Digital Ocean

DigitalOcean Marketplace

Deploy on Platform.sh

Deploy on Platform.sh

APT (Debian & Ubuntu)

echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://apt.fury.io/meilisearch/ /" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fury.list
apt update && apt install meilisearch-http
meilisearch

Download the binary (Linux & Mac OS)

curl -L https://install.meilisearch.com | sh
./meilisearch

Compile and run it from sources

If you have the latest stable Rust toolchain installed on your local system, clone the repository and change it to your working directory.

git clone https://github.com/meilisearch/MeiliSearch.git
cd MeiliSearch
cargo run --release

Create an Index and Upload Some Documents

Let's create an index! If you need a sample dataset, use this movie database. You can also find it in the datasets/ directory.

curl -L 'https://bit.ly/2PAcw9l' -o movies.json

Now, you're ready to index some data.

curl -i -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/movies/documents' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-binary @movies.json

Search for Documents

In command line

The search engine is now aware of your documents and can serve those via an HTTP server.

The jq command-line tool can greatly help you read the server responses.

curl 'http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/movies/search?q=botman+robin&limit=2' | jq
{
  "hits": [
    {
      "id": "415",
      "title": "Batman & Robin",
      "poster": "https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w1280/79AYCcxw3kSKbhGpx1LiqaCAbwo.jpg",
      "overview": "Along with crime-fighting partner Robin and new recruit Batgirl, Batman battles the dual threat of frosty genius Mr. Freeze and homicidal horticulturalist Poison Ivy. Freeze plans to put Gotham City on ice, while Ivy tries to drive a wedge between the dynamic duo.",

Use the Web Interface

We also deliver an out-of-the-box web interface in which you can test MeiliSearch interactively.

You can access the web interface in your web browser at the root of the server. The default URL is http://127.0.0.1:7700. All you need to do is open your web browser and enter MeiliSearchs address to visit it. This will lead you to a web page with a search bar that will allow you to search in the selected index.
