Hi,

This is definitely possible. What makes you think that this would be an
issue ? Just don't run the GUI. 

You can edit recoll.conf by hand, no need for the GUI configuration tool,
all options are described in the manual.

If you are using the real-time indexer, use option -x to disable X11
session monitoring.

It is even possible to build the software to avoid any X11/Qt dependancy:

 configure --disable-x11mon --disable-qtgui

Cheers,

jf
