CKAN UI to consume CKAN API

I'm new to CKAN.

There are two different CKAN with 2 different domain/IPs, CKAN-A and CKAN-B. I know there are CKAN-API for create/update package/ekstras.

With postman, it's solved, just need to hit that endpoints. But I need to do that in UI way. So:

CKAN-A post create package to CKAN-B (e.g. id: xx001)

CKAN-B edit that package and update to CKAN-A

All with UI approach, not by postman/other tools. Can we do that in CKAN? How?

If i understand correctly,for your case you can use harvesting to achieve desired outcome. Harvesters are working in one direction so if you need to get data from and to both instances, you will need to set the harveter on the both instances.

Another option is to use the syndicate extension, but i havent used by myself.

Solution 1: Wouldn't it be a good idea to have two CKAN servers share one database?

Solution 2: Create a CKAN Extension to change the behavior of the package creation and modification UI. Your CKAN Extension can update the other CKAN server using CKAN's API. Please refer to the manual (https://docs.ckan.org/en/2.9/extensions/index.html)

WARNING: Write a CKAN Extenion is Very difficult.
