Access from Linux and Windows

[Harald Heigl]

Hi all!

I’m just testing digiKam a little bit and I like it J

I have a fileserver with my pictures and an nfs/samba-server on it.

 

I would like to access my collection from both Linux and Windows, but for windows I’d prefer samba, on linux nfs.

So I would end up in two different album-roots:
     on samba: //fileserver/MyPictures/…

     on nfs: /srv/mymmountpointToNfsShare/MyPictures/…

     For digiKam-database I’d take an mysql-server (accessible from both windows and linux)

 

The path beyond MyPictures would be the same. So what I would need is two (or more) alternative albumroots which describe just one album.

An alternative would be to use a virtal machine on my windows box …

Perhaps someone had a similar problem.

 

I hope you got me, if not feel free to ask.

Thanks,

Harald

I'm also interested in a way to share the same db but between a linux
and a macosx (external disk with ~/Images folder containing pictures
and digikam.db)
As a matter of fact, i would also want to sync my db (used in travel
on a netbook) on a remote server (unix). so far, using rsync and
duplicating everything.

I'm not aware of any current solution on this.

Somewhat related but in a server/NAS configuration was the recent thread
http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/database-on-laptop-and-server-NAS-td4658822.html
It seems to point to miniDLNA export in next 3.0 release. Maybe in
this it would be better for LAN configuration, even without server, to
have a minidlna server on a unix box doing sharing for other devices.

There's a backend solution for this. It's relying on hardcoded mount paths,
but multiple are possible. See bug 261277.

FYI, the link is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261277. I haven't tried this myself, and it sounds like you have to twiddle with the MySQL db directly, as there is no UI for this configuration...
