Comment on The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Simple Websites
projectmoon@lemm.ee 8 months agoWhere are you uploading galleries? Just your own HDD connected to a static website?
Not OP but I would use a CDN like bunny.net. It’s cheap and you get geo redundancy and all kinds of perks with it.
You can set the Bunny CDN to pull from your home server or you can upload your files to a Bunny storage and it can pull from there so it doesn’t matter if your home server is on or not.
I’m currently running only the dynamic parts at home (CMS, generators etc.) and I “host” all the static generated stuff on there.
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I am using photoprism for photo management. It doesn’t really support S3 or any CDN. You could use a fuse filesystem or something, but it’s very slow.
It’s probably better to export the photos if you want to make a presentation gallery. Many image viewers can create static HTML pages for a given set of images, GThumb, DigiKam etc.
Definitely a good way to do it. Photoprism supports uploading to WebDAV for sharing. Could front a CDN upload with a web dav server 🤔

Currently I borrow space on my dad’s web host, he wasn’t using it and was ok with me doing it.
