It is true that the albums created in Digikam will not be "created" on the other side as such, but if you have them well ordered it does not matter.
USE DIGIKAM WITH NETWORK STORAGE UPDATE
your photos, photos are physically stored on the NAS without problem, and also PhotoStation / QuMagie will update metadata and others without problems. However, Digikam is not a web server, it works great to organize, categorize, tags. The PhotoStation / QuMagie + Digikam combination is almost perfect for me.

On the other hand, when it comes to good offline photo manager, I recommend DigiKam 100%. Because if we get to that point, then for security reasons it is also a risk to have the PC connected to the Internet, it can be infected by any exploit and compromise all the information on it, so the only way to be sure would have to be to isolate the PC also Internet.īelieve me, if good policies and practices are applied, the risk is more than acceptable, and it more than compensates for keeping it connected, after all, a lot of the services that a NAS offers are precisely to be connected. Zero risk does not exist in any system, but you always have to make a balance between the assumed risk and the functionality you want, of course. ALWAYS have the applications and firmware updated Disable / uninstall any application that you don't use. Install / enable the FW integrated in the NAS (QFirewall), allow your local networks and others, and block any connection from outside your country, this reduce your risk about 99%, unless you really need to access from other countries or live in China / Russia Do not use upnp for service discovery, map by hand in the Router only the necessary ports, ALWAYS USING a unknown external ports, NOT DEFAULT Of course, I repeat, correctly configured: Do not go to the scaremongering, if you have correctly configured the NAS, the possibility of an attack on it is extremely remote.
