Description

Scrapix docker image only accepts a JSON string to pass the configuration. The problem arises when trying to pass a documentTemplate, which uses Liquid syntax:

the JSON string should not have any space, because it returns an “unexpected end of json input”. But when it does not have any spaces, I get a Meilisearch API error:

.embedders.default.documentTemplate`: Invalid template: user error: cannot parse template: liquid: 

Ideally, I'd like to have the cloud crawler accept a configuration file. It would simplify the process and enable cloud users to add hybrid search capabilities to their documentation

Research direction

Start by locating the Docker image's JSON configuration parsing and the cloud crawler configuration entry point. Reproduce the reported failure with a documentTemplate using Liquid syntax, then determine the configuration-file approach and verify that both JSON parsing and Meilisearch template compatibility work as intended.
