Nextcloud Fulltext Search

[marcusquinn]

An interesting search string for anyone managing what multiple users do with these things is to search for password and see how many place plaintext passwords are stored in user's documents & spreadsheets!

Similar for things like passport number, driving licence, social security, national insurance. It's a handy way to do a review of personal data being stored in files and who has access to what.

@vladimir-d @staff could this be part of the store in the near future ?

@rmdes I think as a first step for next Cloudron release we will look into a way to run long running / periodic processes so we can support things like nextcloud indexer. Elasticsearch has to be installed as a separate package. From there, it's straightforward.

@girish Wonderful, I have tons of PDF's that I want to parse, OCRise, make searchable, the ability to do this in a self-hosted environment is mandatory in my case because it's related to Justice documents that I don't want to upload anywhere, ever, so I have been searching ways to go around that without having VPS's running just for that, I hope it's going to be doable in the future (and I trust it will)

@rmdes we're looking into the OCR stuff too, will get to that part very soon as well.

What's the status of the Elastic Search App - according to the repo, there hasn't been an update for the last 9 months. Is this still functional?

Same question.

It'd be great to actually get this in the App Store if it is functional.

@jdaviescoates Sorry, we're tied up trying to get Univention working as a master AD/LDAP server to multiple Cloudron, Unify and other systems, because sadly, the world still uses Active Directory.

Will try to get shared shortly...

Also need to compare to Filerun and Pydio for speed.

@marcusquinn I like this project and just wanted to get it a bump
