I'm looking for a replacement for Google Photos. I've gotten used to my mobile devices automatically backing up my photos to the cloud and then being able to share a link to those photos in places that have limited storage, such as free Slacks. I finally got off my butt and got my phone to backup photos to my Plex server, but I can't share a link to those photos on Slack. Also, the Plex app seems to be crashing on my tablet, but I haven't tried to troubleshoot that yet. I guess that means I should set up a web server. I don't see myself maintaining a full website; I mostly just want to archive and share my pictures. I'm running Debian. What specific packages do you guys like? -- Rich
Hi Rich, Maybe you can try this on one of these. You could then do a lot more than share photos.

I can give a huge +1 for NextCloud. I use it for tons of things on my NAS. Fantastic little piece of software. ________________________________ From: Aljerin Butler,Jr. via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org> Sent: Monday, January 4, 2021 6:06 PM To: Richard Klein via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org> Cc: Aljerin Butler,Jr. <albutlerjr@yahoo.com> Subject: [EXT] [WLUG] Re: Web server & gallery & auto-backup Hi Rich, Maybe you can try this<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fitsfoss.co...> on one of these<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnextcloud....>.

The software might work. I don't have a budget for hardware. It would be nice to not run servers on my workstation, but it is what it is. On Mon, Jan 4, 2021 at 6:13 PM Aljerin Butler,Jr. via WLUG < wlug@lists.wlug.org> wrote:
