Hi Paul, I do #2 (using the sqlite file type) successfully. But I use my own cloud on a synology NAS disk station (as I want to be sure, that my data is mine :-)). Therefor I use the sync-client to the local disk and never had a Problem with the lockfile.
Best regards Andy Gesendet: Samstag, 31. Dezember 2022 um 21:43 Uhr Von: "Paul Kroitor" <p...@kroitor.ca> ... So I need to find a way to allow two users, in two different cities, to access a single set of books, but without an office infrastructure. Access will be alternating, thus no simultaneous access. Neither user has static IPs or internet facing servers. So far I have thought of the following (unsatisfactory to varying degrees) mechanisms: 1. Put the data file in an existing MySQL server in the cloud and allow the MySQL lockout mechanisms to deal with access conflicts; 2. Keep an XML file in the cloud and a. Use scripts to upload/download and manage lock semaphores (yuck), b. Use SMB sharing over the internet (double yuck!); or 3. Set up a desktop OS in the cloud and allow users to remote desktop in. None of these are good, but 1) seems better than the others. Perhaps there's a way for the app to run in the cloud but the GUIs are on the remote user machines? All ideas welcome, no matter how inane! _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
