<html><head></head><body><div>Why are you using SMB when you have a linux based machine sharing to another linux based machine? NFS is much simpler if you don't have windows/Mac's involved.</div><div><br></div><div>Having said that, if you don't have some sort of directory services running, you need to make sure that your user <span style="font-size: 1em; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">sweetth exists on both the server and client, and they both have the same UID/GID's for the user. <br><br>Typically, for Samba based shares, you should just be able to make sure ownership of the database files is set to "</span><span style="font-size: 1em; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">sweetth". As you're mounting the share as a user, all files in that share should probably be owned by the same user.<br><br>Alternatively, use windows to set permissions of your photos folder on the server to be full access by your user.</span></div><div><br></div><div>As this isn't a Digikam issue, you might want to seek help with setting permissions in the Samba forums if you can't get things working.</div><div><span></span></div><div><br></div><div>On Wed, 2021-03-31 at 14:04 +0100, Sweetth Devil wrote:</div><blockquote type="cite" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex; border-left:2px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello all,<br>I used Digikam but moved my collection of pictures and my database to my newly installed home server.
