[digiKam-users] DLNA Server as standlone to be deployed on servers

[Gilles Caulier]

A stand alone server exist on digiKam test implementation. This one is not
dedicated to be deployed. It just an unit test.

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/tests/mediaserver?h=development/6.0.0

This test tool share files as well. It do not use digiKam database. A
similar version of this tool is included in Showfoto (look Tools menu entry
to test quickly).

This is exactly what you need ?
