I was planning/working on making the functionality part of the search
resource, but through a different page of course. But now that you
mention it, I guess it would be neater to write a dedicated resource.

Yes, obviously we don't want the re-indexing page to be public.

I agree, and I think this is actually a very neat solution, but it
doesn't solve the problem that the realm's default repos have no IDs.
So even if I make it configurable, how to we specify/get the default
repos like e.g. the data repo.

Thanks for the good feedback,
