Offload generation process to another device

[LostRune]

Is it possible to offload the generation process to another device?
Or basically to generate everything on one device and copy everything to another without conflicts?

Mostly because my stash-device is not that powerful.
I tried setting up another stash instance on the other device, but then all scene-ids are different.

I appreciate any help/suggestions.

I suppose you could back up the Stash database on one device and restore it on another... But why not just host Stash from the device capable of the generation? You can access the Stash content through a web browser on your other device(s).

Already tried the backup/restore method, but then all the paths are incorrect, because the media is not on the same device anymore but rather only reachable over the network via a different path (stash and media files are on a NAS device).

The problem is, that I want to host stash on the 24/7 online NAS and generate the files on the more powerful PC.

Thanks for the suggestions anyway!

You could experiment with using your PC to access the Stash application paths (and database) over a network share. So it might be possible, but also unadvisable. I am not sure SQLite was designed to have multiple processes access it, much less remotely¹.

A more tedious solution would be as I suggested above with the network shared application paths, except for the database. Make a script to copy the sqlite database to your PC location. Run the generation tasks on your PC. Then copy the database back to your NAS location.
