I keep everything on my home server: photos, music, home videos, movies, downloaded webpages, ebooks, instruction manuals, etc., all shared out over HTTP. Yacy basically gives me a centralized, private search engine for my house.
Example searches:
"Frigidaire manual"
"living room collection:Photos"
"London Philharmonic Orchestra collection:Music"
Of course, having things in an organized hierarchical file system, with good metadata, helps.
- johntash 4y agoDo you expose things like photos/videos/pdfs through a public web server? I thought about using Yacy for something similar, but wasn't sure about wanting to just leave everything available unauthenticated on the local network.
- ThinkingGuy 4y agoI've configured my web server so that it's accessible over the Internet, but only if you have a client certificate issued from my certificate authority.
- vineyardmike 4y agoAny pointers on how do this at home? It’s the basic premise of “zero trust” but also managing phones etc seems a pain for home use.
- ephbit 4y agoHave you considered using recoll for your use case? I guess it should fit your "centralized private search engine for my house" application quite well.
- ephbit 4y agoI really liked that one time, when recoll brought up more than 10 year old photos I had mostly forgotten about. I had searched the name of a person and a few photos still had exif tags in them from when I had used Picasa back then to tag them with the person's name.
