Hi everybody,
Hello,
I'm working on a project of adding Spotlight [1] support to the Netatalk [2] OS implementation of an AFP [3] server. For that I was thinking of using Tracker as the metadata store.
Great!
Most use cases will be indexing and searching shored storage spaces (volumes, shares) which are accessed by multiple users. Netatalk creates distinct UNIX processes for every user session on the server, running with the priviliges of the users UNIX account. Can someone please give me a hint if and now this can be done with Tracker? From what I've researched as of now (mostly checking the available Tracker query API), Tracker is built around the assumption of one Tracker instance per user. So I always just assumed that well, let that user be root and index whatever I configure.
That's one way, though I wouldn't advise using root for that sort of thing but a dedicated user instead (perhaps in teh same group)?
Is that the way forward? Any other recommandation or pointer?
Yes, I think so. Though we don't have a concrete use case for you to follow, that's how I would approach it.
Good luck! -- Regards, Martyn Founder and CEO of Lanedo GmbH. _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
