    What tools might you use if you were collaborating on an image? You would be making frequent revisions and want people to be looking at the most recent version.

      I think WikiFactory could probably nicely handle this. It's not open source, but good people (co-founder is one of my best friends) https://wikifactory.com/

      I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

        CryptPad has collab features, and drawing features.

        I'm sure you could use WP with a gallery theme as @marcusquinn would suggest as well.

        One could even set up a workflow with Surfer and Syncthing that shows the latest synced revision at the Surfer domain.

          @robi tbh I dount any of those suggestions would result in proper versioning of images, but I could be wrong.

            @jdaviescoates revisions are a sequence. Hence any sequence...

            If the workflow if git friendly, that works too. I'd assume it would be better visual, but as we know assumptions are not reality.

                @robi This is a nice idea.

                So, you would have a folder where you would keep the files you were editing. Syncthing would monitor this folder and then duplicate the current state elsewhere. In this case, elsewhere would be the remote folder where Surfer was publishing the files.

                So, how would you get syncthing to put the files into Surfer?

                  @LoudLemur it's been mentioned before on the forum how 2 apps can share data.

                  By using mounts, or remapping the data directory to a shared volume.

                    @LoudLemur Personally, I would use a file storage platform like Box.com. As soon as you save a file locally, it "syncs" up to the cloud and once there, any collaborators will receive the downloaded version via "sync" to their machine. In the case of Box, they have an upgrade feature called Governance, which never deletes a version. You can literally roll back to an image you had 2 years ago, make it current, and begin editing from there. From the web client, versions can be viewed, downloaded, and made current.

                      @LoudLemur Nextcloud also stores version history, and has comments on files in the web UI.
