Question #699648 on Gourmet changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/gourmet/+question/699648
Harald Franzen posted a new comment: Yes you can. I have my recipes in a MySQL database on a central server. All clients can connect to it and retrieve the recipes, etcetera. This is how I did this: I created a MySQL database with a user and a password on a central server accessible by the various clients. Then - this is under Ubuntu - I edited the following file (for each client!): /usr/share/applications/gourmet.desktop Line 76 is the exec-line, where the application is actually started. It starts with exec= . I changed that to reflect the different database, location and credentials: Exec=gourmet --database-url=mysql://user:password@serverurl/database Of course, in your environment, "user", "password", "serverurl" and "database" have specific values. Good luck and don't hesitate to ask questions!
