My config looks like this:
HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'haystack.backends.whoosh_backend.WhooshEngine',
'PATH': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "fulltext_index"),
...
I have whoosh 2.7.4 installed. But my fulltext_index directory contains only one file, _MAIN_0.toc, which hasn't been updated in two years.
What could be going on here? Presumably Hyperkitty should be indexing new messages as they are archived. I could run update_index to fix the index now but then it would just go out of date again.
Hyperkitty updates the index via periodic jobs. You should add the following to e.g. /etc/cron.d/mailman:
@hourly mailman /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs hourly
@daily mailman /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs daily
@weekly mailman /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs weekly
@monthly mailman /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs monthly
@yearly mailman /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs yearly
* * * * * mailman /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs minutely
2,17,32,47 * * * * mailman /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman-web runjobs quarter_hourly

You can also check an example project in the Hyperkitty repo that contains the following crontab example:
# This goes in /etc/cron.d/.
# Replace "apache" by your webserver user ("www-data" on Debian systems) and
# set the path to the Django project directory
@hourly apache django-admin runjobs hourly --pythonpath /path/to/project --settings settings
@daily apache django-admin runjobs daily --pythonpath /path/to/project --settings settings
@weekly apache django-admin runjobs weekly --pythonpath /path/to/project --settings settings
@monthly apache django-admin runjobs monthly --pythonpath /path/to/project --settings settings
@yearly apache django-admin runjobs yearly --pythonpath /path/to/project --settings settings
# Currently Hyperkitty has no minutely and quarter_hourly jobs. The purpose of
# the next lines is to ease the upgrading process, in the eventual case that
# Hyperkitty will utilize minutely or quarter_hourly jobs.
