Host your own tiny static image feed, join the webring and share images #smallweb style!

Boosts appreciated. 

@rostiger this is really great. i have been looking for a way out of corporate image hosting and sharing. i read through the repo docu, it all seems doable. i have a webserver, just need to check how to access it without “their” online toolset.

one big question though: depending on where i am, i use different machines (linux laptop, osx macbook and win desktop)
Do you think this works with posting to the gallery, or are there local dependencies that need to be synced?

@tovabele Nice! Happy to hear you'd like to give it a shot.

I have only tested it on Ubuntu, where all of the dependencies are already pre-installed. Theoretically it should be possible to use on a Mac, since afaik MacOS also comes with commands such as mkdir, cp, rm, rsync and curl preinstalled. I have never tried it, but I'd be curious if it works for sure!

As for windows, I have no idea what would be needed to get it up an running, but I'm pretty confident that it won't run out of the box.

Anyway, if you do try it, let me know how it goes or if you run into any issues. :3

@rostiger good thing my computer science laptop is ubuntu - mint
