  thanks, here for these things. ran dawarich for a week and it was a disaster, willing to try again.

  samba shares are windows shares, on linux. any os, mobile and desktop, can either access them directly or got a light-weight client for doing so.

  you set up one or multiple shares on your server, like one is “family” and other is “steve” and you can define what each user can do to them - just browse, or read, or write to, etc

  or if you need just a read-only share, any web server (apache, nginx, etc) can allow access to a folder you shared.

  what’s “family members”, are those folks on your LAN? or people on mobile devices or from elsewhere?

  if it’s the former, samba shares are easy. the latter, any number of solutions listed here, provided you pay extra, extra attention to firewalls and other mitigations, it’s hell out there wrt automated bots hammering exposed endpoints.

  littlefedi is out as of coupla days ago. still in early stage but should cover your use case. local binary, world comms via “lighthouses” don’t need domain, vps, etc.

  that’s a hella rad machine to convert because of something so easily fixable. could be due to a loose cable, or needs a new panel; provided it ain’t of the ultra-spensive variety, 2nd hand laptop panels can be had for like $20-50 from your local junker. short of that, converting it to a full desktop would be the next best use case. using a hexacore ryzen with 3050ti as “media PC” is fucking bonkers, a potato can handle that.
