samba - Aug 2023 - Spotlight indexing with fscrawler for multiple shares

Hey Kees,

disclaimer: shameless self-plug!!

If you dont need content indexing you can use my indexer: 
https://github.com/Ellerhold/fs2es-indexer

Ive created it because I couldnt get FScrawler to work correctly.

You can add as many directories as you like in the config, it'll crawl 
it through one daemon service.

I'm planning on adding smb.conf parsing, so you dont even have to add 
these directories into the yaml file and just use samba as you would.

Let me know if you need some help setting it up or otherwise.

Have a nice day,

Matthias.

I have looked at it because of troubles with FScrawler and I love your 
solution because it does not need heavy weight java.

But there is one thing FScrawler is good at: it indexes all kinds of 
metadata of files (like exif data in photos etc), it can even do OCR. 
This is what the fs2es-indexer does not seem to do (to my understanding).

That is the reason why I am stuck with FScrawler for now.

Hopefully I am wrong and you are going to tell me that fs2es-indexer has 
all the functionality of FScrawler but not the issues :-)

The other thing is that I am pushing data to Opensearch which requires 
me to patch and? compile FScrawler, another complexity I don't like very 
much.
