and tagged it with Photo sharing @ronguest That sounds interesting, but am I right in assuming it’s for the Synology NAS only? I currently don’t use a NAS (I have an old Drobo gathering dust on a shelf) and I was hoping to solve this with either my Linode or an always on MacMini.

and tagged it with Photo sharing I’m looking for a self-hosted alternative to iCloud photo sharing for private photo sharing with the family, and I need your help finding it.
Here’s what’s great about iCloud sharing:
The main problem is that it is exclusive to the Apple ecosystem. That excludes part of the family. If I’m going to change things up it would also be nice if the new solution was hosted on a server controlled by me.
So, a self-hosted alternative to iCloud photo sharing, with apps for viewing on both iOS and Android. Any recommendations are much appreciated.
@MrHenko I don’t know if it has everything on your list, but the Synology NAS software has two different tools for storing and sharing photos and albums. One is called Photostation and the other is Moments. I use my NAS for storing/backing up photos from iDevices but I don’t use it for sharing so I’m not sure how close a match it is.

@MrHenko Yes, that is for their NAS.
@ronguest Then that’s not exactly the right solution now, but your post gave me an idea. I seem to recall FreeNAS being a software based NAS, and there are probably other similar products as well. Maybe one of those has a photo sharing feature.

@Cassinato I recommend Overcast and Castro. Overcast is my favourite, but for I while I did use Castro and really liked it because of its queue feature.
Since you don’t listen to that many shows I’d say Overcast is the best way to go.

@smokey As I read the third paragraph of your post I literally thought ”my head hurts”. Then I read your forth paragraph. :D
Anyway, thanks for adding it to the wiki. Follow up question though, what wiki? Where do I find it?
I wonder how many webmentions I receive if I also reply to my original post here?
Regarding your second post,
1) Used the share sheet and selected ”Dela som fil”, which I assume is called ”Share as file” (or possibly ”Save as file”) in English. That brings up a second share sheet in which I could save it to the files app. From there I uploaded it to GitHub.
2) I’m not sure and haven’t tried it, but I assume you could use the download link on GitHub, save it so files and then open it there and chose to import it.
Be aware, the Shortcut is very much a hack solution right now. It totally butchers the result if the post you are trying to reply to originates from a non-hosted micro.blog account.

Files won’t let you change the filename extension …
@viticci has a shortcut that neatly gets around that limitation: Rename and save files
@artkavanagh Oh, that’s great; thanks! I can even trigger that Shortcut from the “media download view” directly and give the thing the proper name and destination in one step.

@miraz: That seems like a very useful utility. Thanks for sharing it!
@MrHenko 😀 Enjoy. I also like that there are extensions you can choose to install and then you can customise the order they appear in too.

and tagged it with iPad Gboard and swiping takes some getting used to but I do think that it’ll be the most efficient way of writing on the iPad mini with the Apple Pencil.

@manton I just wrote up my process in getting the external replies to work. Not sure if it’s actually a bug report, but feel free to read the steps I took and see if I missed or mis-interpreted anything.
