Or:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/Crissium/SilverDict
cd SilverDict

Then edit docker-compose.yml to add volumes:

    volumes:
      - ./dictionaries/:/root/.silverdict/
      - ./cache/:/root/.cache/SilverDict/
      - /mnt/nvme/share/<your_dicts>:/<your_dicts>

sudo docker compose up -d

Usage

I did not test how to migrate dictionary data at present. So I import the dictionaries after enabling the service.

  1. SilverDict → Setting → Library

    1. Dictionaries → Add

      Name `ecdict`
Filename `<path_to_dicts>/stardict-ecdict-2.4.2/stardict-ecdict-2.4.2.ifo`
Type `StarDict (.ifo)`

      Name `汉语大词典(简体精排).mdx`
Filename `<path_to_dicts>/汉语大词典/汉语大词典(简体精排).mdx`
Type `MDict (.mdx)`

    2. Do nothing until the import is complete

    3. Groups → Add:

      Group name `zh`
Group language(s) `zh`

      1. zh → Edit dictionaries → 汉语大词典 (On)

      2. Default Group → Edit dictionaries → 汉语大词典 (Off)

    4. The Sources tab is used for batch import, I don’t recommend using it at present.

  2. Settings → Create n-gram index
