Public bug reported:
I’m still running Kubuntu Noble (24.04), but I don’t think 24.10 would
be any different.
Anyhow. I’m storing all my Digikam data on a NAS. Digikam 8.4.0 does not
even present the NFS mountpoint when selecting where to store the album.
I found out why after quite some time searching because the initial
setup page is quite mum about that. The reason is that SQLite does not
like NFS because the locking is unreliable. I now this from the time NFS
was new and I was working at Sun Microsystems. I never researched if NFS
v4 which is quite different has reliable locking but that does not
matter because Digikam does not support network mount. Period. Sigh.
I then found out that it should be possible to store the assets on a NAS
and use MySQL/MariaDB to host the metadata. Well. Digikam doesn't
support that either. Settings->Configure Digikam->Database allows only
SQLite.
I reverted to Digikam 8.2.0 (installed by apt rather than snap). In the
same settings page, it is possible to select SQLite, Mysql Internal, and
MySQL Server. (The funny spelling is from that page…) I’m not trying to
set up the MySQL Server configuration yet, 8.4.0 will probably not allow
me to use it.
