Multiple Machines (Linux and Mac) / One Database

db010
Does anyone know how to support one database on both Linux and MacOS? The database is on my Hetzner cloud storage and synced to each machine. I only use one machine at a time so there are no conflict issues.

The overall approach I thought would work would be to symlink home directories so that the paths are the same BUT:

1. Apple prevents you from making a link in /home so I can't make a link from /Users/myuser to /home/myuser on the Mac
2. Going the other way would work but seems digiKam resolves the symlink to absolute path. On my linux machine I have a link from /Users/myuser (to match Mac) to /home/myuser. During database migration to /Users/myuser/pathtodb this path is resolved to /home/myusers/pathtodb in the actual database and so is inaccurate on the Mac side.

Does anybody have a single data base / mulitiple OS setup working?

Much appreciate any help.
