I am late to this discussion, but I would like to recommend Bruce
Williams "Understanding Darktable" series on YouTube Episode 008
"Working with local files" He describes the process for making and
synching files, check it out.

As long as you have the .xmp created - when you import it on the
home computer - it would be fine. There are few scenarios that are
a bit unclear
- the large USB - are you going to copy the images or use it from
the USB? Either way - you can simply import on the second computer
and it will read from the .xmp
The laptop has 1 Tb drive and the USB is a 4Tb. I move the images
from the sd card to both the USB drive and the laptop (to have 1
backup)
- once you move the images on the home computer - what happens with
the laptop? - if you want to avoid confusion and both computers are
accessing the same USB - then you will have to consider
synchronization of the library (or easier - delete the library on
the travel laptop).
Once at home, I don't care about the data on the laptop, eventually
the data (both the images and the library) will be deleted.
What you want to avoid is using 2 different libraries (that are not
synchronized) and accessing the same images and editing them
(because the 2 instances can override one another) but reading the
request I don't think this is going to happen.
You can also utilize check for .xmp changes on startup - it works
but the drawback is for a big library (many thousands of images) it
may take a while. So you don't want to have this setting all the
time.
Hope this helps,
It does. Thank you everybody
