Add path for recoll.conf as argument when starting the script #63

Closed viktor-c closed 6 years ago

viktor-c commented 6 years ago

Give the user the chance to use a custom recoll config file when invoking this script. Use the -c /path/to/config option

Background: When the script get initialised without a parameter rclConfig will try to find a recoll.conf file in the home directory of the user.

When the user has a custom recoll.conf file or more indexes give the possibility to specify the base directory where the conf file resides The argument will be set in webui.py and passed on to rclconfig.py parser.

Invoke like this: /usr/bin/python2 /home/docker/recoll-webui/webui-standalone.py -a 0.0.0.0 -c /home/docker/data/.recoll/ Also has the advantage of letting you run the script as an unprivileged user in your home directory :+1: or simply like before, nothing else happens, the script searches for .recoll/recoll.conf in the home directory. /usr/bin/python2 /home/docker/recoll-webui/webui-standalone.py -a 0.0.0.0 Thanks!

Sorry, too much going around this commit... will tidy things up. Probably useless anyway. I noticed that normally the config dir should be passed on the recoll, from there it should be picked up by recoll-webui through python-recoll module. This doesn't happen for me...
