At the moment i use a super hacky and unstable setup where multiple instances of everything in ETP server mode run under a windows core VM, and when it works, it works fine. But sometimes it stops updating the index, sometimes it just crashes, sometimes serves the wrong db, and so on.
So: there’s a better way? Maybe a web app? Possibly with multiple users, some directories are only for me and not for the rest of the family.
The solution can be also paid (but with a reasonable price as this is for personal use and i can’t justify the $$$ for an enterprise solution)
I currently run Everything in a Linux VM (running with Wine) that has my servers’ shares mounted read-only, but it stops running after a day or two every time. All in all, not very stable.
I’m looking for something better too.
Lol my “fix” is a scheduled task that reboots the windows VM every night
With the amount of data I have, it takes Everything about 12 hours to re-index it all.
did you check filebrowser (https://filebrowser.org/)?
But this will just publish the file and don’t translate to a SMB path that I can directly access from computers
https://www.osquery.io/ might give what you want but depending what your looking for you might need to create a UI for your use case
