docker-recoll-webui

recoll with webui in a docker container

optimized for docker running on a synology diskstation
creates a python standalone recoll server inside a docker container listening on port 8080
to start indexing run this command on your synology: docker exec CONTAINER_ID recollindex
to run the indexer as a time-based task on a synology nas, use the task scheduler to run this recollindex.sh script: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dsheyp/docker-recoll-webui/master/recollindex.sh
change CONTAINER_ID and paths to your needs
settings for recoll are stored in /root/.recoll/recoll.conf
the path of what will be indexed is /homes

installation steps

in docker start the wizard to create a docker container from this image: mount /homes to /homes and mount /homes/YOUR_USER_NAME to /root, set up port mapping (defaults do also work)
complete the following steps before you run the container
download recoll.conf (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dsheyp/docker-recoll-webui/master/recoll.conf) and place it in /volume1/homes/YOUR_USER_NAME/.recoll/
modify recoll.conf (change the user name, ...)
to run the indexer as a time-based task on a synology nas download recollindex.sh (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dsheyp/docker-recoll-webui/master/recollindex.sh), place it somewhere on your synology, make it executable (in a shell run: chmod 775 recollindex.sh) and remember to modify CONTAINER_ID and paths
then set up an automated task in the control panel of your synology with task scheduler and point it to recollindex.sh
