Recoll WebUi - Need one for mobile
Hi,
There are lots of cross-platform UIs can be bundled to support all devices - mobile, tablet, embedded, desktop.
Can someone help me on how to bundle it for mobile ? Assume the servers runs somewhere.We just need the mobile app to works with the search...
Mobile version of it.......Recoll works awesome but don't have mobile UI neither mobile friendly apps
Thanks
While the configuration is admittedly a bit clumsy, I managed to get the web UI to work on Android (using termux), the write-up can be found here: https://jcgoran.github.io/2023/03/05/recoll-android.html

Thank you @JCGoran for making this possible and your comprehensive blog post article tutorial. It installed and indexed on Termux. However, please excuse my noob question: How to use it?
On desktop OS command line such as on Linux, the Recoll search command is recollq or recoll -t. On Termux that doesn't work.
In fact, even the recoll command on Termux doesn't succeed.
Hi @ecogit, if you have already installed Termux, you need to run pkg upgrade -y to get the system packages up-to-date, followed by pkg install recoll-python to install the Python bindings for recoll (note that these bindings do not include the web UI).
Afterwards, you can run recollindex to actually index the files using recoll (optionally setting which directories to include in the scan, see here).
Next, install the web UI using pip install recollwebui, and run it by calling recollwebui.
Finally, switch to your web browser app, and go to the address http://localhost:8080.
You can also have a look at the troubleshooting section in case you encounter any issues with the above.
Thank you @JCGoran for clarification!
It works with Recoll WebUi but I aimed for searching with Termux CLI. Now I realise that's besides the point of this issue (Recoll WebUi). So I'll have to do some research and eventually open an issue elsewhere.
