Not in an easy way, there is no concept of server/client for darktable. In particular, sharing the library between computers is prone to generate problems.
In principle, all of darktable's configuration and libraries are saved in a couple of files, so you could share those files between installations (by default the ~/.config/darktable folder in Linux). But you have to be VERY careful: - you must access them from a single computer at a time, as the database does not support locking or simultaneous access - all of darktable's installations must be of the same version, as the database format and some module's edits information changes from time to time, and this is usually not backward compatible - all files referenced on the database must have the same absolute path in the filesystem of all computers (must be mounted locally at the same point), as this is the way darktable references them In the end, it is probably not worth the risk of losing data (or worse, corrupting the database) because you forgot to close the program on the previous computer, or finding you can't edit that urgent image because you forgot to update the computer you're working on now. The alternative is to use the "local copies" feature ( https://darktable.gitlab.io/doc/en/local_copies.html). However, do note that while this solves the issues of database corruption and file location (each computer has its own database and local copy of the working files), it can't sync or merge edits from different computers (so you still must make sure to edit the pictures only from one computer at a time).
