Do you need access to the database file remotely as well? As in, does
your wife use Digikam on her Windows machine? If not, then you can
just have the DB file local on your machine and the pictures on a
network share.

For Fedora, I use a CIFS share to access my network drives with my
pictures. It is mounted at boot through the fstab file, and it works
just fine in Digikam.

In Windows, you could mount a network share as a drive and have it
point to where your pictures are.
