• to run the indexer as a time-based task on a synology nas download recollindex.sh https://github.com/amsaravi/docker-recoll-webui/blob/local_gpg/recollindex.sh, place it somewhere on your system, make it executable (in a shell run: chmod 775 recollindex.sh) and remember to modify CONTAINER_ID
