<![CDATA[Versioning Software for Images?]]>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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

It's not open source, but good people (co-founder is one of my best friends) https://wikifactory.com/
