[digiKam-users] Client/Server: Indexing possible on server?

[Lukas Haase]

Hello,

I am using digiKam on Windows and I am accessing pictures from an SMB share over OpenVPN and the internet. There are throusands of pictures and many GBs of them. Loading them conventionally will take me years.

Is it possible to run a command on the server to index a directory and merge the data somehow with my database on the Windows client?

(Ideally I could even automate this so as to run the indexing automatically via cron job on the server, sync the data to my client and merge them via a script).

Thanks,
Peter
