WIFI Digital Photo Frame without cloud (self.selfhosted)

submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by Mercury1337 to c/selfhosted

16 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Hi all!

I am looking for aWIFI Digital Photo Frame which is not dependent on a cloud storage that I don't know and don't trust. So the device would either have lots of internal storage (at least 64GB)or storage can be added via SD cards or USB Sticks.

Ideally there would be an app that I can use to upload pictures to the device in my home WIFI but SFTP/Samba would also be ok.

Any recommendations?

edit: up to 200 EUR budget edit: at least 10 inch in size

Thanks a lot!

Up to 200 EUR - but not really the time to build something from scratch (like Raspi)

Do you have time to build something partially from scratch? I could see repurposing an old laptop, disassemble it and make the screen face outwards with the board affixed to the back of the screen lid.

Might take some creative routing with the internal display cable, but I've taken apart tons of laptops where this would be doable, especially after you've discarded the plastic chassis

Though you'll still need a frame of some kind, unless you like the "raw-tech" look

Which display size? How much storage?

[–] Mercury1337 1 points 2 months ago

At least 10 inch / 64 GB (or extendable via SD card / USB stick)
