Description Thomas Bach 2021-04-04 16:56:50 UTC

Is it possible to install digikam as a package directly on a synology NAS? At the meomen, i have stored my pictures on a NAS-Share und i am using Maraidb as database. Vut i am using the client on a W10 Machine and the performance is not so good. 

I know, that confugartion ist not recommended, but i can not find any tutroial to install the package on the NAS itself.

I try to access the photo with all Metadate from different devices.

I am using the replication mchnanism of the NAS for security and that works good. 

But it will be better to use web-client directly on the nas instaed of using the win client

Why to install digiKam on a NAS ? It's a server, not a client computer...

Comment 2 Thomas Bach 2021-04-04 17:09:16 UTC

Synology has Linux as System. With a client on Windows, all traffic for changing Database and picture metadat are transferred over the lan. And that results in a poor performance. Also, if the system is isntalled directly on the nas, i can use it as web program from any device.

Please understand me right (instead of my bad english :- ). Digikam is the best produkt to manage photos i found in the last years. But i try to find the best solution for me.

And Synology has many packkages working as client
