Bug ID: 411521
Summary: [digikam/WebService/O2] local port should be
configurable
Product: digikam
Version: 6.2.0
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Plugin-WebService-Google
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: rjvber...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
digiKam currently hardwires the local port for the O2 WebService layer, for
most plugins port 8000. This prevents the services from working when that port
is already in use, for instance for the proxy. It is all the more problematic
since 8000 is a quite common port.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start digiKam with a local service that already uses port 8000
2. try to import Google Photos
OBSERVED RESULT
O2::link: Reply server failed to start listening on port 8000
EXPECTED RESULT
A functioning import from Google Photos
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm reporting this for the Google plugin but I see that most other plugins also
use port 8000. A less common port would be a better choice (e.g. 27648, the low
2 bytes of the fourcc 'dkam'). But ideally there should be a configure option
(or at least an override via an env.var.) for this port number, at least for
those services which don't impose a specific port. Google Photos doesn't seem
to care.
