• creates a python standalone recoll server inside a docker container listening on port 80
• 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

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
