Not all settings from the 'brand:' section of the YAML files are needed in the
shell scripts. This patch reduce the variables in ./utils/brand.env to what is
needed. The following ('brand:' settings) can be removed from this file:
- ISSUE_URL
- DOCS_URL
- PUBLIC_INSTANCES
- WIKI_URL
Tasks running outside of an *installed instance*, need the following settings
from the YAML configuration:
- GIT_URL <--> brand.git_url
- GIT_BRANCH <--> brand.git_branch
- SEARX_URL <--> server.base_url (aka PUBLIC_URL)
- SEARX_PORT <--> server.port
- SEARX_BIND_ADDRESS <--> server.bind_address

'brand.env' file is created these enviroment variables should be
unset first.

recoll is a local search engine based on Xapian:
http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/
By itself recoll does not offer web or API access,
this can be achieved using recoll-webui:
https://framagit.org/medoc92/recollwebui.git
This engine uses a custom 'files' result template
set `base_url` to the location where recoll-webui can be reached
set `dl_prefix` to a location where the file hierarchy as indexed by recoll can be reached
set `search_dir` to the part of the indexed file hierarchy to be searched, use an empty string to search the entire search domain
