Hello all,
I am have installed digikam-5.3.0-01-x86-64.appimage on 2 linux clients
(Linux Mint) and both clients are configured to access my LAN server
(RaspberryPi - Jessie), where all photos are stored.
Digikam is set up with MySQL and the remote folders are connected to the
clients via sshfs.
Everything is working well so far.
I have 3 different folders at the LAN server and access rights like this:
drwxrwxrwx 13 client1 client1 4096 Nov 30 09:23 family_collection
drwx------ 4 client1 client1 4096 Nov 26 23:12 c1_collection
drwx------ 26 client2 client2 4096 Nov 29 13:54 c2_collection
First I tested a setup with 1 shared database for both clients, but then
private thumbnails are displayed to the other client and searches apply
to all collections, although the actual photos are not accessible.
To keep the private collections fully separated, I decided to to run 2
separate databases.
for client1:
MySQL:
database: digikam1
user: digikam1
Collections (directories):
family_collection
c1_collection
for client2:
MySQL:
database: digikam2
user: digikam2
Collections (directories):
family_collection
c2_collection
But though I think this is not a very reliable setup as the shared
family_collection will be modified by either client and the database of
the other client becomes inconsistent with the files.
So I am looking for a way to improve this.
Does anyone have an idea of how to modify mysql and/or digikam so
multiple users can access only their private collections and the shared
collections as well?
Thank you for your suggestions and best regards
Belleg
