[digiKam-users] Web based interface (in PHP etc)

[Tac Tacelosky]

I also worked on one last year, using Symfony4 and Doctrine (php7, etc.)

https://github.com/tacman/dkweb

The biggest challenge of using an ORM was the way some relationships were
set up, causing thousands of queries to list.  Still, the database was fast
enough to support it.  Now I'd probably use a real full-text search
service, like Elastica, which I'm using on other projects.

The other challenge was using a remote database, the tradeoff between
having super-fast local access v. web-based access.

Finally, as mentioned here, there's the issue of users and permissions.
Although pretty standard, it gets messy to add.

Happy to revive the project and work with others if there's interest.
