maybe not the best solution, but it works for me

gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files crawling-interval -2
gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files enable-monitors false

- the above fetched from this list some time ago. question was the same: How to shut up tracker ? -

sudo sed -i 's/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=.*/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false/' /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-*.desktop;

the last command needs to be done every time tracker gets updated !
The first both only once.
And the last command does NOT prevent that tracker gets started during login, but it stops after some time.
see after some seconds: ps aux|grep -i tracker 

I'm currently NOT sure what tracker stops.
I didn't dig in it that deep, but Tom Horsley did...

extra:
as user !
rm -rf ~/.cache/tracker && ln -s /tmp/ ~/.cache/tracker
rm -rf ~/.local/share/tracker && ln -s /tmp/ ~/.local/share/tracker

why ?
/tmp is tmpfs and lives in my RAM, so no extra writing on my ssd !

btw: there are some more entries in ~/.cache I link to /tmp (on my single user box)

~/.cache/thunderbird
~/.cache/mozilla/firefox
