[digiKam-users] Use digiKam with a NAS and MariaDB

[Stefan Müller]

The gallery is the and step downstream the picture management and 
processing process.
Any user has its home folder on a network drive for its own media. There 
is a shared network drive  for  shared / common medias.
We are going to switch to Nextcloud for improved sharing soon.

I'm wondering how to setup the database and digiKam that I can use it on 
any machine and it shows me only the pictures I'm supposed to see, 
without endless re-scanning of the source folder or database.
In digikam any user can do the tagging and per-selection and may do some 
post processing with digiKam or external applications.

Afterwards, the selected pictures a put in a media gallery and/or social 
or sharing  platform.

Is there are proper workflow meeting my requirements?

thx

Stefan

    isn't that more the goal of a gallery? (I use piwigo)
