<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Friends,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have an Unraid server with the Digikam docker installation set to use a MySQL server. Everything is working great and I love the product.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now, however, I would like to install the Windows version of Digikam on my laptop due to functionality issues in the Guacamole client.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I go through the install, I am asked for the database connection info (which connects fine) but, when it completes the install, it creates a new set of empty tables and dumps my current database.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do not want to run the Digikam server from my laptop because I have a cron job running to detect faces as pictures are uploaded to my personal cloud and the Unraid server is always running.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking for the documentation to install Digikam on my Windows 10 laptop to use the existing MySQL database on my Unraid server.<o:p></o:p></p>
