Hi all,

I do not want to reinvent the wheel, but I am trying to find a solution for sharing pictures among family members, while saving storage space on these devices.

Often I need to "reorganize" the devices of parents and other due to a load of pictures here and there. Finally I got people used to working with albumns in their phones, therefore I am thinking about the following:

Phones:

• I need a solution for both Android and Iphone.
• Pictures are always structured in albums, to make it easier to manage.
• Uploading apps: I am successfully using FolderSync in android devices to upload Albums to an old DreamHost account that I have. I am using more than 300gb already for 2 android devices (pictures and videos), therefore storage in VPS is not an option. Q1) While I am happy with this, would anyone recommend a different solution?
• What about Iphones? Q2) I am not an user and have searched for options whithout testing any alternative. Would anyone recommend user-friendly apps for non-advanced users? (I can set them up myself if routines can in the background, without user input).

Storage Box and file upload:

• I have been using SFTP to my DH account, where lots of space is available. But I do not want to rely on this solution long term. Therefore I am thinking about getting a storage box, such as the ones offered by Hetzner.
• The idea is to send media files to the box, freeing space in the users' phone.
• Original files stay there in a "to be consumed" folder.

VPS:

• My VPS will then be used to process the images and videos, to reduce size/quality. The goal here is to keep a decent quality for phones (mainly) and laptops. Full quality is not needed so that storage space can be saved. I believe I can implement this routines using python. Q3) Any good recommendations or existing github projects that would simplify my journey?
• After processing the images, I plan to either dump the original files but allow for an optional cold storage, that would be accessed if someone needs higher resolution media "from that specific event" when grandpa gathered everyone together ;)
• The VPS should also run a simple media gallery. I think Immich or Photoprism would be an overkill. I have tried Piwigo some time ago and was happy with it. Pixelfed looks interesting for an instagram-like approach, but users have to post file by file, which is not what I want. Q4) Any different recommendations?

Back to phone:

• Users would need to be able to access their own albums but also other family member's ones as well.
• I even considered using a simple File Explorer, but perhaps I can find better options??? If would be amazing if the selfhosted gallery is already providing mobile apps.

Am I making this too complicated? What am I missing? Can you save me? haha I just need peace of mind with family and their phones.

Hi all,

I have developed a simple tool to provide me with a quick and high-level overview of a defined list of stocks, and I am thinking about turning this into my first github project.
At the end I came up with this dashboard that:

• Loads in seconds
• Have a slide left panel for quickly editing the list of stocks
• Have a set of buttons on top to quickly change the view: day, week, month, 6-months, year

It is important to mention that this is just a visualization tool and has no data analysis capabilities (i have the charts as images, but the datasets are not available).

My questions then are:

• Would this be usefull to someone else?
• Any additional ideas that could be implemented?

Thanks in advance!
